Rebels penalty.. easy one at goal if they want it.
They kick for touch
At last, a chance for the Rebels to get some points on the board, but they go for the corner
Rabbles going for touch. Now Langbek should contest this line out.
Very close, bit no try, penalty awarded for off sides
Another Rebels penalty… Stormers giving many away
Rebels go for the corner again
Rubbles look dangerous….
And the Rebels fluff it again. Penalty Stormers. Awesome defence….again
Stormers penalty… Duvenage lucky not to get a card, in on the side in the red zone
WTF, Stormpoppies have decided to give all the ball to the Rubbles. 4 tries are looking more and more remote. The win is not even looking sure at this stage.
Penalty Stormers again for side entry
Stormers get another penalty, against No 5, side entry
Poor kick doesn’t see touch, and a wasted opportunity
Pietersen does not manage to kick out
This is a bit of a nothing game.
105 @ Loosehead:
It’s to decide No 1 and No 2 Log positions… Stormers go No 1 if they just win this one, otherwise Chiefs retain No 1
This is looking like a game of over 50’s beach touch at the moment, with the odd kick thrown in. Come on boys, lets see some rugby
Kolisi is ‘n yster!
Good one Kolisi
Penalty Stormers, collapsing the maul AND side entry
Another penalty Stormers for side entry, 2 min to go to banana’s
Stormers can’t afford to give so much possession to better teams from hereon in…
Looks as if the Stormers are trying to wrap themselves up in cotton will at the moment. Minds on the next games. They must remember, they still need to win this one!
Stormers se strategie is baie duidelik – bou ‘n voorsprong in die eerste 20 minute en verdedig dit dan vir die volgende 60 🙁
114 @ Ace Frehley:
Hello Ace Ventura!
A last scrum before H/T Stormers advantage
What a shyte game of rugger. Stormpoppies have sunk to the level of the Rubbles.
Advantage Stormers
Penalty in the middle, 30m out
Penalty Stormers, chance to go for goal before halftime
