Now it’s raining heavily… all the Sangomas from Transkei must be baying for rain… hehehe
Swirling wind totally confusing Joe Pietersen in his wait for an uppie…. almost a Kings try
Kings scrum on the 22… middle of the pitch, a very attacking position
Kings hard on attack
Kings penalty and Whitehead goes for goal
Stormers 9 / 6 Kings
Only a 3-point game
Stormers penalty…. should be easy at goal but in this wind nothing is easy
Stormers 12 / 6 Kings
1 converted try for the stormers should seal it I think
Accidental obstruction by Habana… Kings scrum
I don’t often fall asleep in a rugby match, no matter how boring it is. So this one must be really bad. I’ll give a little leeway for the weather, but hell, the Stormers have spiralled into a disjointed band of marauders with little or no game plan, and with nowhere to go. It’s unfathomable how such a talented group of guys can have regressed over the last few years so.
Duvenage on for Schreuder, Shadow on for Aplon
20 Minutes to go in the match
Marcello Sampson in front of the kicker, penalty Stormers
Hoekom “shadow”?
Joe Pietersen will go for goal from the 10m line… in this wind… difficult
75 @ TheZeeMan:
Gerhard van den Heever is known as “Shadow”
Wayward kick, totally missed….
@ Just For Kicks:
Janee o hel, dis maar n droewige spul…en nie slegs die weer se skuld.
Btw, has been raining like anything at Elgin since last night, water everywhere on the mountainside at G’bay, b-i-l says.
5m Lineout for the Stormers, ball was touched on Duvenage’s kick
Try Deon Fourie from the lineout maul
Ja ek weet… Maar hoekom juis die naam shadow? Wat is die rede?
Stormers 19 / 6 Kings
82 @ TheZeeMan:
Want hy “ghost” deur die defences.. soos ‘n skaduwee
13 inutes to go in the match
Nee hel, daar wil die manne weer boks….
Great touchfinder by Shadow
Daar druk Fourie…en die KhoiSan raak mal in die pawiljoene…
(By verlede week se kongres’ volgens die ‘Burger’, het die Khoi’s besluit die woord ‘coloured’ moet verbied word, hulle wil voortaan as Khoi bekendstaan…en daarna wil hulle aanspraak maak op Harry se gronde as hulle stamgrond’ daar teen die weskus op.)
79 @ Pietman:Yes, I’d heard there had been a drop of rain!
Good kicking out of hand by the Stormers
