@ grootblousmile:
Lol, I didn’t expect any real fireworks yet. Still a mix and match team. Brummer was no spark at 10, and so far neither is Smit. Time to let Graaff or Watts have a run. So far Goosen has no sleepless nights as far as a challenger goes at 10
Stormers 11 / 3 Cheetahs
Stormers penalty on their own 22
Another Stormers penalty, this time on the Staat 10m line… kick for touch
Gaap.
Given the relative strength of the two packs, I am surprised the Stormers haven’t been more dominant. I honestly thought that they would have a distinct advantage over a mix and match Cheetahs team. I will have to wait patiently till next weekend to see where the Cheetahs are in their preparations.
Rayno Benjamin cops a Yellow Card
Penalties raining on the Cheetahs
Vir my gelyk of Ryno daar probeer uitkom, wat moet hy doen: beam me up Spock ?
69 @ ben-die-bul:
Nee, Beam me up Scottie… hehehe
Hehe, leer Juan die ref so paar dinge daar.
@ ben-die-bul:
Lol, it’s a warm up match. Cheetahs don’t have the same luxury as the other top three franchises, in that all the players are from within their own structures.
We have to see how the Griquas players combine, and also who are the 1st and 2nd choice players. It’s easier for the others, as most of their players have played within the same structures.
Once the super Rugby kicks off you won’t yawn at Cheetahs matches, we were by far the most exciting SA team last year.
No.23. Who is that – bit old to start playing rugby, surely
Try No 2 for Carr
Sareltjie’s defence certainly hasn’t improved lol
72 @ Cheetah4eva:
Keep telling yourself that, it might make you feel better… hehehe
Stormers 16 / 3 Cheetahs
Habana obviously thought the same, and went for the bloke with the walking stick
70: eish, ek word oud, ja dit was Scotty nie Spockie nie, hy was die man met die lekker lang ore, stout seun gewees, daarom dat sy ma hom so aan sy ore rondgetrek het.
Shadow runs in the Stormers 3rd try
Try not awarded, ball touched by someone out of play, so no quick throw was allowed
@ grootblousmile:
About the only chance Shadow has had of scoring lately. Doesn’t seem as if the Stormers are intent on running the ball down the line anyway!
Rocco Jansen bundled out very near the corner flag
Elgar Watts on for Riaan (True Blue) Smit
Tryyyyyyyy Super Sareltjie
Good poaching by the Staat there…
Stormers 16 / 10 Cheetahs
Hoop die game raak nou bietjie lewendig, gooi die bal rond, dit is ‘n vrienskaplike wedstryd.
Stormers attack… and eventually get a penalty against them, relieving one for the Staat
So young Lood meets Etzebeth, could have been team mates at the Junior Boks, maar hene, he needs a Bloem hairstylist but pronto!
