106 @ grootblousmile: they could still try to entertain……………..
And to think that people paid good money to watch this shit.
Stormers 16 / 0 Rebels

Stompies performance doesn’t inspire any confidence going forward into the play offs. No way this side could beat Chiefs or Saders.
The fandamily (Handbriekie, BonzaiHandbriekie and Os) have gone to the maul… I call them my “Maulbewoners”

They have to win … that will entertain us Stormer-fans plenty thank you!

Ace Ventura doen die NY Groove :=)
Don’t think this Stormer side would have beaten the Rubbles if they Beale and O’ Bieber in the mix.
124 @ The_Young_Turk:
Stormers still doing enough to win… but they should be concerned about giving the other side so much possession.
Their defence still right up there though
Gio should take time out now, cannot risk another knock like that….
@ kwaailight:
Netso. If they entertain & lose, every Stormers supporter will be baying for their heads.
Maar, magtag, they started so well. Can’t they just keep up that intensity? Then the tries and entertainment will take care of themselves.
So, this game looks like we expected it to look… looks like the customary ugly win for the Stormers.
What say you is going to happen in the next 2 games?
@ The_Young_Turk:
And I think they would have.
Which of us, do you think, has the better argument, and why?
@ grootblousmile:
I know they think their defense will hold out the Rabble. Bad tactics.
@ Pietman:
Agree, take him off now.

2 Nd Half ON!
@ Ace Frehley:
not sure what you’re refering to but let me make myself more clear. Of course the win is most important. But the way the Stormers are playing, the win is not even assured yet. 13 points is not enough of a cushion. Maybe if they had a 20 point cushion…
135 @ kwaailight:
Will call you “Stinky Bum” or “Vuilgat” from now onwards…. hehehe
2nd half on
@ Ace Frehley:
Stem! Hoop maar vir meer sports innie 2de helfte … maar ons móet wen … 🙂
Louis Schrueder on for the second half

142 @ kwaailight:
Good one… will do so!
Aplon still out there, either no faith in v/d Heever, or he is 100% fit
Rebels have no idea how to fully breach the Stormers line… Hilgendorf with some poor options
Rebels come out fighting, starting where they left off.
Surely they must take the points?
Penalty Rebels, Deon Fourie in on the side of the ruck
Rebels looking to maul over, advantage Rebels, and penalty awarded
And touch again
