I disagree, if Bezhuidenhoud and Taute not good enough, then they shouldn’t be there. Tactical subs are part of the game. If two of your players are under performing, and your cover players are deemed to be even worse even before they take the field, then we are in serious trouble
Stormers just waiting for the Saders to run at them
@ Just For Kicks:
Can you watch this match over there?
Shaders need quick ball
Allistair’s half time speak was indicative of a coach who is obsessed with set piece. Did he mention he breakdowns? Stormers are outmuscled and outpaced at the tackle ball. They can’t get attacking momentum as a consequence and their defence is weak at the fringes of the rucks when the game starts to speed up.
26 Phases…. Saders very close
Saders penalty, 5m out
@ Pietman:Hi Pietman. I am at my folks-in-law. They have sky. Otherwise it’s VIPBox, unfortunately!
Crusaders hettie geduld van Job…
Patient build up by Saders. All possible due to numbers and forward momentum at the tackle.
They kick for touch…. they want to punish the Stormers
Massive massive pressure from the Saders
Good defence so far
Saders scrum, 8m out… well defended by the Stormers

Het Job ook rugby gespeel?
Watter posisie?
Stormers heavily under the kosh here
Wonder if someone will spill the beans on the Stormers defense secret, is it judo classes or some other martial art skill, or is it plain accuracy?
Crusaders is not spreading the ball wide as hey usually do. They are countering the Stormers spreading defence with hit up and superior numbers at the hit up in the midfield.
Ek ken ‘n Oom Job… maar hy’t nie geduld nie… en hy is a regte robbish
Crusaders penalty… and the TMO is also called in for a lifting tackle
Scrums are a mess, IRB will have to do something these engagement rules, scrummies putting the ball under the locks’ feet mostly anyway….
Jeez, the Crusaders have mastered the art of obstructive running.
Think Duane Vermeulen will cop a Yellow… and does
Diane in the bin. Stormer s busy going Rebels here
Damn, penalty and yellow for Duanne!
I don’t think that deserved a yellow card.
Crusaders 16 / 11 Stormers
