23 @ McLook:
Gavin Cowley always used to say so too…
Stor,ers controlling the ball so far. That is the best way to play the blues; make sure they have no ball to run with.
Blues 6 / 0 Stormers
Commentators talking up the Stomps scrum.
Onnosel donnerse Duvenage, ek smaak daai klong niks nie.
Stormers making all te play but are not patient enough hence the 50/50 passes and handling mistakes.
Drie Stormers nodig om een man grond toe te vat…..
Fourie stopping the flow. He did that last week three or four times as well. He should play no6.
27 @ Pietman:
Nee dit gaan goed!
Ons begrafnisbesigheid het gister ‘n ou se diens gedoen, wat op die poepketel gesit het toe hy gedooi het. Ek het gedog hy het dalk ‘n foofievalve gebars, maar toe nie, hy het ‘n epileptiese aanval van soorte gekry op die troon!
Jinne, dis ‘n snaakse besigheid die…. hehehehe
Langbek over…
TMO
Close!!!!!Jean Div skitterend, hy en Aplon kan hulle stukkend speel vandag…..
Shyte Aplon almost ruined a ty here.
Too my Parisian eyes this is a ty.
Looks short… and ruled short, but they come back for a penalty.
Partisan eyes it should be in the previous.
@ grootblousmile:
Ai tog, what a way to go..
Shot at goal, easy one right in front, pop-over ball
Blues 6 / 3 Stormers
It was a try. It was a try. It was a try. Damn I’ m upset :).
@ McLook:
Aplon should have gone for the corner, me thinks…he had the toe on Ranger there..
Sormers penalty too far out, so Joe kicks to touch.
Kom Stormers, moer hulle, hou dit so, en soos McLook se, ‘patience’….
Daasit! Langbek speel n barshou….wonder wat die Japsnese sal dink as hy daar uitdraf….Mealamu af.
GO BOYS!!!!
Professional foul, no?
Keep the pressure boys, they are cracking…..
Come on Stormpoppies…. you need to be clinical!
Say no to crack.
Darn turnover ball.
Virvarksteaks…bad luck!!!
Arghhhh… another golden chance squandered… Blues scrum on their own 5
