Try Rocco Jansen… after more penalties and more quick takes
England 19 / 11 Scotland (Half Time). Not nearly as good a match as the Wales/Ireland game, but the Scots staying in the game, just. England look by far the stronger side. Again it is the mistakes and penalties that are the winners in this game so far
TRYYYYYYYYY VRYSTAAT!
Stormers 26 / 24 Cheetahs
About 3 minutes to play
@ Loosehead:
hallo Loskoppie, I am pleasantly surprised at the score line, thought we would battle, when I looked at the Stormers lineup.
@ Cheetah4eva:
Typical Stormers crap going on hey. Dirty bastards.
Looks like Elgar Watts is the answer as backup for Cheetahs flyhalf…
125 @ Cheetah4eva:
One would expect more from the CC Champions.
Cheetahs get a relieving penalty, quick take, intercept by Stormers.
Gio GifAplontjie attempts a drop, missed left.
Cheetahs happy to try quick taps, Stormers think it’s a final, as aplon goes for the drop
Siren goes, Staat get another penalty
If Gio is kicking a drop in a match like this, he seriously needs to consider retiring. He’s not thinking straight
Shot at goal…. this one could win the game
How many weeks ban should the dirty player, Habana, be suspended for?
Lol, as I say that the Cheetahs have a penalty and go for poles. Nee man
OVER!
Cheetahs win!
Final Score: Toyota Cheetahs 27 / 26 DHL Stormers
Wie sê vriendskaplikes beteken nie iets nie, lyk asof die Cheetahs die CB gewen het met daardie oorwinning. Wie is die skopper ?
Well done Cheetahs. Stormers, catch a wake up, you were simply woeful. Suddenly I am not as optimistic about the boys this year!
@ Loosehead:Surely retirement will come before he makes it back again?
He he who would have imagined a Cheetahs victory. The Stormers were still rusty, but they haven’t shown any inclination to change their defence orientated game plan.
Glad Graaff showed his worth. I think he could be a bolter with the Cheetahs
@ ben-die-bul:
Lol, dink dit was Hansie Graaff, lol, die ouens sal enige wên vat. Geen speler hou van verloor nie, maar as jy met ‘n eksperimentele span die Stormers, wat wyd en suid as “Konferensie contenders” gesien word kan wên, dan vat ons dit. Die tekens was al laas jaar daar, dat ons die stormpies kan ontrafel
@ Just For Kicks:
Don’t fear Kickers, it was their first match, they will improve. Wether the improvement will be enough, that I cannie say
Cheetahsssssssssssssssssss 😆 My “B” span het die Stormpoppies gemoer 😆
So volgende week is die ‘finaal’ tussen die Gauteng Beker wenners en die Versoeningbeker wenners ? hehe
Was good to watch some rugby for a change.
@ grootblousmile:
Unless Graaff can convince Naka to give him a run, I have a gut feeling about that lad!
naand almal en die hoooooogste puny van die game vir my is ysteman wat verbasend roesbestand lyl na twee jaar se siekverlof…welcome back big man welcome back……
@ Cheetah4eva:
Jippoguts?? 😆
@ Sharks_forever:
Lol, nah! still not getting fussed. I will wait and see what naka conjures up against the Bools. Must say, the backline defence was pretty solid. Considering we had Benjamin at 12, it was a good showing to shade the Breezers
