Gio Aplon off injured, replaced by Shadow
To win this match, the Stormers really need to spend some time in the Landers half
De Jongh just fails to scoop the loose ball up for a try, scrum Landers
JdeV has come into great form. Stompies scrum looks a bit stronger…
How skew into the scrum was that!
Right, at last, an attacking platform for the Stormers. Use it wisely boys
Nice break by the Stormers
….and they fluff it
Vermeulen offers so much more than Spies.
Landers steal another Stormers ball
129 @ Loosehead:
Where?
He’s been super quiet!
Landers scrum, turn-over maul
Stormpoppies parked in Landers half in 2nd half but Landers defense up to it at the moment.
Hore replaced
Some big changes coming for the Landers, trying to freshen up the forwards
Bliksem, it is raining here in Debenville.
Dink nie Landers gaan bo op NZ log eindig nie, hulle het nie ‘n skakelpaar wat die game kan domineer nie. Sal weer die Saders wees, en dan die Chiefs.
Penalty, holding on. Kickable for the boys
Stormers penalty…. slot it boys… build the innings
Deserved penalty for Stompies. Just milk the penalties boys. Take the 3 points every time!
Stormers 18 / 6 Highlanders
131@ grootblousmile: Naturally, he is only playing at 17h00 against the Crusaders.
niceee!!
Grant is a much better place kicker than little Joe.
First point, second half to the boys as Grant slots it
yesssss
144 @ The_Young_Turk:
Just can’t kick from any distance!
So much SA talent this year…can’t wait to see what Heyneke Meyer’s gonna do and who he’ll pick.
Thats the first decent kick over the back by the Stormers. Better rugby this half so far
Stompies have really decided to camp in the Landers half. Good tactics guys.
