Vital Rebels knock…
@ The_Young_Turk:
Moenie worry, gaan n draw wees!!!!
After some frenzied play, Stormers get the scrum with 2 minutes left to play
2 Minutes left, Stormers scrum… can they close it out now?
This has, without a doubt, been the worst rugby I have seen the Stormers play all season. As the Sharks seem to be peaking just at the right time, it looks like the Stormers peaked in Match 1, and are now in the trough!
AC and his team are not breathing….
They see their view of the cup sliding further and further away…..
Stormers penalty for a slap
Lineout Rebels… no penalty Stormers…. 30 seconds left
Stormers can breath a sigh of relief, but may be their last, I fear
Stormers lineout.. all they have to do is get their own ball
Stormers playing for time to save the match….
They do… and Deon Fourie hacks it out.
Game Over
Ongelooflike kak rugby.
Well done to the log leading Stormers.
Stormers 26/21 Rebels. Final score
Geezzzzz!! I am so farking relieved. What an utter kuk performance.
Final Score: DHL Stormers 26 / 21 Melbourne Rebels
Congrats Stormers… No 1 on the Combined Log
Well done Deon Fourie!
Game went south when Langbek, Kolisi, Pietersen and Kitshof went off.
So Stormers go top of the log, but somehow, it seems all too hollow. A strange season, where there has been more rain in the desert than tries for the Stormers. Can they go further? I just don’t know.
Now I can breathe again and it’s the turn of the Sharky supporters to knyp…. and after it will be the PinkBullies turn!
I better get going to Loftus…. folks, enjoy the win.. and the next game, where Loosehead is in charge
Anyway, congrats Stormers!
Maar julle sal julle gat in rat moet kry teen daai Kiwis, onthou nou….
@ The_Young_Turk:Let them all Knyp, Hahahaha
@ grootblousmile:
Tjorts, enjoy.
Deon Fourie! Thought as much…
@ grootblousmile:See you for the Bulls match. Going to the presser, then making my way home, so will miss most of the Sharkies match
Catch up with everyone later. Cheers for now.
What a great gesture and send off to a rugby great, Stirling Mortlock!
Congrats Stormers for topping the log. Well done, whether they played attractive rugby or not, it is winning that counts and that they have done well.
Congrats to my Sharks for making the play offs and also congrats to Bulls. The saffa teams rule in the top 6 and that makes me proud.
