Game a bit aimless. Not up to the same standard of intensity of the Kiwi semi.
Bekker hitting his straps at last, its taken a season, but hey! And GBS isn’t here to witness it! Great work by the Stormers
Almost Stormers.
Holy Cow Bekker has a cracker in his shorts
Great play by the Stompies and almost scored there. Can the scrum stand up?
@ bean1:
Is that what you Scots call it?
@ The_Young_Turk:Maybe you need to be watching it live, but to me, apart from that brief 5 minutes of tennis, it’s been awesome rugby. Both side throwing the ball around, andsome very big defensive hits from both sides. I’m loving it

@ bean1:
For the first time Stormers really looking hungry for some tries
126 @ The_Young_Turk:
sometimes
white line fever, die 3de keer deur die Stormers.
Again, it’s the damn finishing. They should award a try for looking good and trying, it would save the hassle of learning how to finish. Are the Sharks tired yet?
Sharks defense hold up and the Stompies attack look pretty toothless
Tough game, many walking wounded…but a great contest this!
@ bean1:You’re giving away all our secrets
Sharks are going to run out of that magic spray in a minute – looks like Spray and Cook!
@ Just For Kicks:
Maybe it all the stoppages…
Harris vs Beast, key area….Beast edging it just at the moment…
Penalty to the Sharks – wheeling apparently. I think Walsh is giving the Sharks a chance as they’re so tired
135 @ Just For Kicks:Ag nee man
I think the opposing teams shouldn’t even bother when the Stompies are attacking on their line, they’re bound to mess it up in any case.
TRYYYYY Sharks, brilliant take in the air by Ludik
lovely try – well done Sharks
Stormers 3 / 13 Sharks 36 min
Perfect up and under!
Sharks targetting Joe and Gio. Ludick great in the air.
Pragtige Bulls skop rugby bring die eerste drie. 😉
Ridiculously simple try for the Sharks as a comedy of errors permits Ludick to take the high ball and run in virtually untouched.
Dang the Stormers and that white line
Stormers much better with ball in hand, great play by Jean…
I think that’s it for the Stompies now. Don’t see them coming back if they don’t lift their game, though maybe they can pray the Sharks run out of gas.
