Brok Harris.
Geez, JPP is in fine form. Try saving tackle by JdV. But the Sharks scrum just destroyed the Stompies scrum. Penalty to the Sharks and 3 all!
Michalak looking good – not a good sign for the Stormers. Surely the Sharks must be tiring by now?
Dang, and he was MOM last match, must have gone to his head!

116 @ Loosehead:Me too!
Nou hoe besluit die ref die een ou het sy footing verloor (Jannie) maar ‘n ander ou wen die bal as hy nie op sy voet is nie (Fourie) ?
Stormers recycling much better this week, just really struggling to finish anything off – maybe they’re just not used to being on the attack so much!
