If Sharks don’t make the play offs next week it will be Reds. So it could be either Sharks, Reds or Brumbies to face Stormers in the semi. The way they playing today they would get beat by any of those 3 teams.
Stormers 6 / 6 Cheetahs
Stormpoppies seem to play worse when facing a reduced team. They can’t seem to handle the extra space and opportunity.
Try Aplon
Stormers 13 / 6 Cheetahs
Aplon magic!
How many times have the States gone to sleep this season immediately after they scored?
Good play by Grant, knowing there was no fullback.
Wow, the Stormers scored a try….
Finally a try for Stormers. They just might get the other 3 for the bonus to top the over all log.
Stompies have another 3 tries to go but have only 25 mins left, so maybe they can score another half a try in that time.
Langbek catches a mark… hehehehe… from fullback or wing
Now something happens….
Brussouw a MUST for the Boks, take note HM, PLEASE!!!!
Stormers penalty, holding on
Brussouw having his best game of the season. Stompies should forget about the 4 tries and first concentrate on winning this match.
Let me offer a reason why the Stormers backline won’t fire by asking who in that backline has the vison and ability to put a player through a gap off either flank?
Duvenage directly out to touch again
Kuk Brussouw die ref uit, en regtens ook….
Cheetahs lose a lineout
GBS looses his sense of humour!
19 Minutes to go… certainly does not look like bonus points either way for tries
Cheetahs penalty… against Kitskos
Cheetahs maul it up…. 5m out…1m
FUCK!
Stormers scrum, 5m from their own line
Great drive by the Cheetahs. I think this game is far from won by the Stormpoppies.
@ Loosehead:
Nel nearly over, lost it on the line, close..
Come on Staat, big scrum required
Malherbe goes straight down AGAIN.
Marcel van der Merwe replaces Trevor Nyakane
Stormers battle to get their scrum ball
Cheetahs lineout, 20m out
