@ Loosehead:
Definitely looks like it. And they well deserve it. This shyte dished up by the Stompies deserves zero reward.

with any luck they’ll go to sleep in a minute
Advantage Stormers
Fark, I have never in my life seen such poor finishing. The Stormers don’t have one preplanned move. The Sharks just need to stand there and absorb the tackles
Stormers (6) 9 / 16 (13) Sharks 57 min
Stsormers need 15 Etzebeths and Deon Fouries, if they want to win in Hamilton.
I would take the 3 points if I were the Stormers, as they can only win by kicks and a maybe a lucky try.
back within 7 -Can the stormers rid themselves of the fear of THE BIG WHITE LINE, and score a TRY?
Nothing in the game still, only the Ludik try diff….
@ Pietman:
If they win, the final will be in Cape Town. They won’t be going to Hamilton.
TRYYYYYYY Jp Pieterson
TRYYYYYYYYY JPP
JPP!!!! And the fat lady takes the stage…
And THAT man JPP! The best farking wing in the world at the moment!
Stormers (6) 9 / 23 (13) Sharks 60 min
…..and the bubble finally bursts for the Stormers (and that includes their defence)
Chiefs will be unpacking their luggage and relaxing. They will be playing the final at home.
@ The_Young_Turk:
True, sorry.
But that possibility has just evaporised….Stormers under the kosh now.
Grant with a penalty attempt, and misses that too
Stormers have proved that you can’t win competitions only by means of defense. It has to be a combination of great defense with a potent attack. You cannot completely eliminate your potential to attack.
The Sharks look like they’ve finaly fallen asleep – but thats nothing compared to the comatosed Stormers
And now Grant’s boot is also letting them down. They need to throw caution to the wind now and risk everything. There is nothing to lose now.
TRYYYYYY Gio, but Etzabeths out, looks a bad ankle injury
Mnr Aplon – you beauty
Goe drie deur Appeltjie, kan die WP terugkom ?
Jean and Aplon creating some magic, can the Sharks last?
And Newlands erupts as the Stormpoppies score a wonderful try. But they will need to do it again…
Stormers (6) 16 / 23 (13) Sharks 68 min. Etzebeth a monster!
Have the Stormers woken up at last?????
@ Just For Kicks:
Darnit, Etsebet hasn’t looked right, probably not completely recovered.
