Good solid Stormers scrum
Couple of cracks in the Stormers… but cover defence very good
Match worthy of a top of the table clash so far!
Stormers fluff their lineout, Landers scrum
@ grootblousmile:
How do you know

Hard game… not very pretty… but good
65 @ The_Young_Turk:
I know Tim
Stormers were so effective last week when they weren’t just booting the ball down into the opponents half, and allowing them to run back at them. Now it seems that they are going straight back into their old ways. It just gives away possession every time, and nowadays most teams are plenty good enough to get back over the advantage line, and further, as is being shown here
TRYYYYYYYYYYY
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Joe Pietersen…. great!
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
TRYYYYYYYYYY STORMERS!!!!
wow….what a nice try!!
Skitterende drie deur JP !
THAT was a good try!
Try Pieterson, and why? THEY DIDN’T KICK AWAY POSSESSION!!!!!!!! Learn from it Stormers!!!!!
Stormers 15 / 3 Highlanders
good try that … bit against the run of play. our kicking game is hondk*k at the moment!!
Absolutely magnificent try started by lovely running by Petersen but everyone doing their bit and being finished off by Little Joe!
Skew throw by Liebenberg
Thats the third one the boys have lost
Landers sal moet punte kry hier anders is hul uit die game.
It looks like my bru is in the kak again. It does not bode well for the Vrystaat and Bulls.
Just shows with the quality of the Stormpoppies backline, what should be a regular occurrence with the Stompies. Have to blame the coach that it doesn’t happen more often!
Landers on attack, Stormers defence up to it
Solid defense …nice one Stormers
Landers penalty, tackler assist not releasing
Defence saving the Stormers here, another go at the posts Landers?
Ref’s been pretty ok today….so far
Shot at goal… but Noakes has not kicked well
