cheers bru
and yes, goooooooo sharkies!!
Good win Stormers,
Didnt watch the match, but it’s a worry that the Stormers still have only 1 bonus point. Somewhere that will come back to haunt them. The Reds, seem to be suffering from player injuries, that continue to dog their season, but never the less, It’s 4 points in the bag!
We need only look at the Bulls to realise the importance of a few bonus points. Bulls have 2 wins less under the belt, but can shift above the Stormers with a bonus point victory over the Brumbies. That said the Bulls still have to tour, but they start with a nice soft match vs the Rebels, then the Waratahs, then Highlanders, and close out with the Chiefs.

Jeeeez, you Cape okes have warped brains…. hehehe
Flokken simpel klomp!
About the Stormers not scoring many tries… that is a real issue and something which absolutely has to be addressed.
Should the Bulls beat the Brumbies and earn a bonus point to boot, they’ll be ABOVE the Stormers (where they belong), even though they would have lost one more game. Shows you that the Bulls have actually more than made up a loss by bonus points alone or for want of a better term that the Stormers have “lost an extra game” by not getting the needed bonus points.
If however the Stormers come away from their tour with a heap of Log points, it squarely puts the pressure back on the Bulls to perform on tour.
Bulls seem to be the most well-rounded and balanced side (balance between attack and defence) in SA at the moment, but the nett result of that is that some teams might be able to pick a well-rounded team apart at times, like the Blues did to the Bulls.
Ag wat, daar’s nog baaaaaaie watertjies wat in die see moet loop… so kom ons wag maar geduldig, voor ons aannames maak.
