150 @ The_Young_Turk:Have faith Turky – I can tell you’re heart is no longer with us!
And thats banana’s
Stormers 6 / 13 Sharks Halftime
Stormers attack just looks so impotent close to the opponents try line – they can get close to the line easily enough but just not cross it!
Lemoentyd.
Daar score die Stormers ‘n drie, wel nou nie ‘n drie drie nie, maar wel ‘n drie ?
Laaste 15 minute gaan LAAAAAAANK raak vir die Sharks, dan gaan die verskil tussen 1 ekstra week rus vs gaan speel oorsee en vlieg terug sy kleure begin wys.
@ bean1:
True, I’m just so frustrated with the way they play. Their last good game was against the Highlanders and then they had that great win against the odds on Loftus. But always just, just grinding it out. You cannot keep on winning that way. Sooner or later the odds will turn against you.
For anyone who hasn’t seen it, and wondering where GBS is, check comment 22
Surely the Sharks have fallen asleep
….nope, but they are sleepwalking
Stompies have usually played their best in the first half and just hung on in the second. Today they will have to reverse things. Will be a test of character. How much do they want this?
@ bdb:
Dink ook so, laaste kwartier sal Sharks moet keer.
New rule just announced. Ref will allow a try to the Stormers if they cross the 22m line. He says this is to help them get over their fear of the try line
Stormers will have to get into the Sharks half and milk all the penalties they can.
Stormers look like the ones who have fallen asleep now, can’t get anything right. Pieterson (Joe) having a mare of a game, and a penalty coming up too
Nee wat kerels, MS is nie nou op goeie form nie, maar Grant en Joe P se 10 meter lynskoppe gaan nie help vir die bokke nie.

I hate Bobby as a commentator.
Stormers (6) 6 / 16 (13) Sharks 45 min
Deon Coetzee is really outstanding in general play. Not the best hooker and scrummer but awesome in the loose.
Beste losskakel in die land … is ‘n Fransman, eish !
Natuurlik tot Goosen reg is.
Sharks have gone up half a notch since halftime, just turning the screws slightly, and the Stormers are taking their normal mid match siesta
@ bdb:
You really can’t find it in your heart to give up on your son hey? Still trying to justify a place for him 😉
Stompies completely impotent and have no answer to Sharks comitted defense.
Pieterson will kick to touch on the Sharks 10 line. Stormers line out
And the Stormers give away another penalty. I think the Stormers have played their best half of the season, unfortunately
Game over. Sharks are on the plane tomorrow
Stormers with another chance. Are the Sharks tired yet?
