Cheetahs penalty and they will have a last chance from the 22
Langbek now staels the Staat lineout….
Game Over
I think the Cheetahs really rattled the Stompies today. Stompies were unable to deal with the conditions and the Cheetahs fierce and tigrish tackling.
Final Score: DHL Stormers 13 / 6 Toyota Cheetahs
Jinne, ons kannie so anganie….
Bekker wins it for the Stormers, well done.
Toughies States, you guys played your hearts out, but the ball didn’t bounce your way today.
Happy that the Staat got at least 1 point.
An ugly win is still a win… Stormers march on
Well done to the farking boring, winning, Stormers.
@ grootblousmile:
Yip, but the question is how far will they march? All the way to Pretoria?
We need a few more comments here to chase it a bit… do it!
Stormers have won the SA Conference… that job is done
@ grootblousmile:
Well you have to reply sometimes!
That the Stormers can’t see that they have to let the backs play in the backline and thus improve their attacking chances, is beyond me
@ grootblousmile:
Stormers kan bly wees Coenie was nie vandag daar nie.
Fark, how did Peter Pop-Gun Grant get man of the match, I would have gone for Kolisi
195 @ Pietman:
Ja, Coenie die boef, sou ‘n verskil gemaak het
Well, it looks like a SA side will finish at No 1 or No 2
6 from 6 for me on Bru
Stop blaming the conditions, folks – the Kiwis play in worse conditions week in and week out and still manage to play rugby.
We on the other hand, play kick-tackle.
@ grootblousmile:Yip, with Jean and a nippy JdJ the midfield, who needs a number 5 there? Bekker must do what he does best, as he did right at the end.
Last pick I made, against the Lions might sink my weekend though
Stompies top the conference once again. Will they at least reach the final this time?
@ fender:
@200 ‘Zactly.
201 @ Pietman:
The thing is, when a forward gets vital backline ball, it’s almost inevitable that it goes to ground and is not passed….
@ grootblousmile:
You are going to be really praying that the PussyCats lose, aren’t you. A loss for the Lions will give you a clean sweep on bru
203 @ The_Young_Turk:
Not if they play like they played today, I’m afraid
206 @ The_Young_Turk:
I vowed a number of weeks ago that I would not pick the Lions for a win again…
Good afternoon all.
I see the weather in Bloem was quite frightful.
Stormers scrape another one.
Coca Cola Park was a breeze to ge tinto today, even with CONTINUING roadworks at Gilloolies Interchange.
They’ve only been busy on that piece of road for 4 1/2 years now. GREAT PRODUCTIVITY.
Shall we move over to the new thread…
