STOOOOOOOOOORMERS!!!!!
Go Stormers, bury the Brumbies for us, please!
Match of the weekend coming up.
Come on Stompies! Please stop the Bumblies in their tracks for all us saffers sake!
If Jake’s Ponies win here, it would basically assure a Brumbies-Chiefs final.
Evening all, Newlands a bit chilly this evening, both teams warming up on the field, Jake White standing on the field looking like a disapproving schoolmaster, spending more time looking at the Stormers team than his own. Longing perhaps??
Looking forward to a great game!
@ Stormersboy:
Hee hee!
Go Stormers, although I am not confident. In my mind, AC hasn’t progressed at all this year, and that worries me.
@ Just For Kicks:
This match will answer our questions…
Game ON!
@ The_Young_Turk: I really hope we get the answers to the questions we’ve been asking! And they’re the right ones!
I was brave, I picked the Stormers by 2 on Bru!
Hahaha
This match will also show if the Bumblies are real championship potential because they have only faced their feloow Ozzies with the exception of last week’s game against the Sharks.
@ grootblousmile:
Unlike your usual timid self 😉
The signal here is sporadic at best so if i go awol my apologies in advance.
A couple of changes for the Brumbies, Jesse Mogg is off, replaced by Robbie Coleman at 15, who is replaced by Mark Swanapoel on the bench.
Nic White on the bench is replaced by Zack Holmes.
Teams on the field, lets get ready to rumble!
15 @ The_Young_Turk:
Yeah… I’m a very timid fella.
Can’t hurt a fly…. and I am very bloody shy… hehehe
Just ask Pietman, he’s met me in real life.
Dammit, the has barely started and Tian is already crocked.
14 @ The_Young_Turk:Will also show their depth, especially with the late changes
Bumblies looking dangerous early on…
Brumbies looking threatening as they look to be finding their feet quicker than the Stormers
The Brumbies no 8 Fotu is targeting Elton as expected, Elton gets flattened but bounces right back up. Stormers lineout looking solid at the front to Steenkamp, who has grown into that role nicely in the absence of Etsebeth.
Here we go again. Anyone for tennis?
Stormers kickable penalty… No 5 advancing in front of the kicker
Maybe just what the Stormers need to settle things down a bit, and get some confidence
A bit of aimless kicking by both teams but the Stormers get a tackle penalty, Joe Pieterson to put the first points on the board, 3- 0 to the Stormers.
Stormers 3 / 0 Brumbies
Stompies lucky to get that 3 pointer.
