Whats going on with the Sormers lineout?
Lemoenetyd… some bitter lemoene for the Stormpoppies
Saders come at you with so much patience they like slow poison. Before you know it they well into the lead.
Come on Stormers focuse man.
Stormers line kicking (or is it tactical kicking?) is shyte. Just kicking it down field and hope for the best.
….and Kolisi thinks the lineouts are functioning ok!…………..
The Elton-experiment is not a successful one….

Last post then really getting back to the visitors.
Its Deon Fourie, well I think it is him…hehe
Pap and Boerewors and Sheba-sauce…. njammie!
@ Puma:
Ha ha, just forget about the visitors bru, that’s what wives are for.
Agreed McLook. Super rugby is not the place to blood a wannabee fly-half.
Fourie’s throwing in the line out, and Elton are the 2 weaknesses in the Stormers line up. I don’t know what they can do to change the situation…
Nouja, nou het ek uiteindelik ook n koue dop innie hand….laat ons sien of die Stormers hierdie kastaaings uit die vuur kan krap.
Vrou se Bekker sukkel in die lynstaan, kan dit wees? Ek het nie die eerste helfte gesien nie.
Move Joe Pietersen to flyhalf, bring Taute on at fullback… that might be the answer
Wonder what Martin Bezuidenhout is like. Maybe Stompies must risk him coming on for Fourie.
@ Puma:
Maybe, but it also looks to me that the Crusaders always have a hand in front of the Stormers jumper. Maybe wrong calls by Becker. The Crusaders is reading the lineout very well.
162 @ Pietman:
Dissie Langbek se skuld nie, dis Deon Fourie wat ingooi se skuld
Yup, two key positions, hooker and f/half not functioning, can’t win the game that way. Wayward kicking just makes a poor situation look worse.
@ Pietman:
It’s Fourie’s throwing in that’s up to shyte.
Poor line out throwing doesn’t help, but the Sudares seem to be reading our line outs very well. As I said earlier, they have done their homework well. Becker needs to change his calls, and Fourie needs to be subbed. Simple. Taute on for Jantjies please
2nd Half ON!
@ grootblousmile:
@ The_Young_Turk:
What’s with these hookers, it is their job to throw the ball in on target, their main job! They get paid hundreds of thousands just for that…. Imagine a brain surgeon making such skew incisions….
171 @ Pietman:
It happens… hehehe
@ Just For Kicks:
Easy to make changes BUT there is no other recognised replacement fly half and no experienced hooker.
@ Pietman:
I feel the same as you bru. Deon is a very good and exciting player in the loose and rucks, but he is poor in scrumming and the line outs.
……and Jantjies just hacks blindly. Well done
@ grootblousmile:
172
thats when die tille rol
@ Pietman:
A Brain surgeon doesn’t have to change tactics with every opponent 🙂
Attendance is over 47 000.
Stompies look rattled…
177 @ leon:
A Brain Surgeon does not operate in the South-Eastern wind either….
… and he does not have 15 other doctors running at him….
