c’mon Stormers, you can do it. Just hold out.
Come on Stormpoppies… don’t let this one slip!
8 Minutes to go is still plenty time.
Penalty Stormers
COME ON STORMERS JUST HANG IN THERE.
And the Chiefs get their 4 try bonus. They are simply deadly on attack. Already have 2 points if the score stays the same and will pick up the full 5 if they win. It’s going to take some doing for any other team to challenge them for the title.
Knock by the Stormers and the Chiefs spread the ball
Yellow for Crosswell… let-off for the Stormers
6 Minutes to go.. anybody’s game
make it count Stormers
Come on Stormers
A relief for the Stormpoppies as Chiefs are now reduced to 14. May just have given the Stompies the break they need to score again…
Stolen by the Chiefs, re-stolen by the Stormers
OK, Comments open again…
Stormersboy, Log Out please!
Time is up… Chiefs have it on attack
Stormers penalty and they’ll win!
Game Over!
Gerhard did something dicey and it worked , great win Stormers
well done stormers well done
Geez but these Chiefs are good! I shudder to think of what they are going to do to the Queens.
One for South Africa, thanks Stormers
Okay there was no comment box here to post for the last few minutes.
Well done Stormers. Just wish they never allowed Chiefs to walk away with two bonus points as they surely will pick up another 5 points next week and leave SA with 7 points.
Well done Stormers!
Stormers with their first win but they had 4 tries scored against their much vaunted defense…
Geluk aan die Stormers, baie belangrike wen.
2 uit 3 vir SA teen NZ die naweek.
Defense is not enough to win against a team of the quality of the Chiefs. Stompies most probably will reach the play-offs but can’t see them winning the cup.
Final Score: DHL Stormers 36 / 34 Chiefs
