@ The_Young_Turk:
How about Grant’s ball distribution and goal kicking? Just what we needed last Saturday….
Try Shadow!!!!!!!
Franco goes over for the Lions 2nd try from a line out and it’s 27 -17.
@ Pietman:
Oppas jong, jy’s gelukkig Gbs en Bidibi is nie hier nie
Well deserved victory for the Stompies even with all their injuries.
Geluk Stormers met die wen … en nie weer ‘n bonuspunt te kry nie.
Hele wedstryd het gedraai toe Lawrence ‘n duidelike hoogvat gemis het met die Leeus se aanval toe die telling 13-10 was. Daar by die Stormers se doellyn word Jantjies betrap met die bal, Bekker val reg bo oor die losskrum (kommentators stem saam), maar ref doen niks. Daarna kry Stormers 2 drieë.
Jammer Leeus.
Nou vir die hoofwedstryd.
@ The_Young_Turk:
Yip, well played Stormers.
JdeV and Kolisi were very good, I am sure we will see more of the latter on the EOYT.
@ bdb:
Ja, ek het dieselfde vir die vrou gese met daai hoogvat, die wedstryd was toe nog innie weegskaal, Stormers was gelukkig daar. As die Leeus daar punte gekry het, wie weet……
