Over
Stormers 15 / 6 Highlanders
Sou vir die hoek gegaan het vir die drie, einde van die helfte die manne is moeg, moes 7 gekry het.
Landers have turned a few Stormers balls over… bit worrying
Awful rucking by Stormers
Lemoenetyd
2 Tries to the Stormers – just about a record for the boys, this season! 2 more please, and lets get some bonus points!
Are the Stormers a better team since AC has been coaching them without Rassie?
@ grootblousmile:
Yip, seems like they are happy to just rely on their defense but how long can their bodies hold up! Landers look like they are threatening to break tackles and one has to think it’s going to happen eventually.
Had it not been for bad Landers kicking at posts, this could have been much closer, so far.
Landers are a quality side this year.
@ Loosehead:
So far, about the same.
Stormers gebruik elke kans wat na hul kant kom om punte aan te teken, terwyl die Landers vele kanse verbrou het, veral die 6 punte met skoppe. As Stormers eerste punte kry in 2de helfte is dit hul game, druk die Landers kan dit rof raak.
@ grootblousmile:
Yip, Landers deserve their top spot in the Kiwi conference.
@ grootblousmile:
Agree wholeheartedly!
@ The_Young_Turk:
Chief don’t look all that great and as for the the Saders, we’ll hopefully see them crushed this afternoon

Hello Kwaaitjie!
My hart haloep alweer oppe galop … (on)gelukkig moet ek nou stad toe … innie reën ennie Two Oceans verkeer … vir my liewe dogter wat in distress is … Pa-wees issie vi sissies nie!
Sien julle later weer … ek hoop die Stormers haak dit deur!
This is, I think, the hardest game for the Stormers on tour, if they can come out of this one with a couple of points, they’ll feel very pleased
It would be wonderful if the Stormers could take this one, with or without a bonuspoint… if the Cheetahs could take this afternoon’s one and if the Bulls could beat the Saders!
@ grootblousmile:
Helloda!
Moet ongelukkig nou hardloop … ek hoop Habs klap ‘n mooie! hehehe
106 @ kwaailight:
Sterkte Kwaaitjie… hoop jou dogtertjie is OK!
@ kwaailight:Good luck, hope all is ok
2Nd Half ON!
What I like about the Stormers is their defence on the other side of the gain line… immediately puts the other team on the backfoot
Landers breaking a couple of tackles here
As I say that the Landers break through… Aplon with a desperate dot down… 22 drop
Good work De Villiers – he’s having a great season, back to some form at last
Stormers penalty on about halfway… maybe a bit closer
Pietersen going for goal
If Stompies defense can hold up and they sneak this one even if by one point, I’ll be very happy. It’s their toughest match of the tour.
Misses to the left, just had the distance, but left
Shadow on.
