Kolbe tackled into touch. 5 meter lineout to the Kwaste.
Kwaste clear. WP lineout, just outside Kwas 22.
Penalty WP. Collapsing by Kwaste. Going for touch.
Scrum WP. Moving forward. Scrum on Kwas 5 meter.
WP speel darem n boring game , miskien moet hulle dit op woensdae 3 uur begin speel
WP penalty. Going for goal. Kwaste not binding.
94 @ Timothy Bornman:
Well done Tim you done a outstanding job since our ‘Boss’ is away.
Only just turned into Dstv now so really can’t say how this game has gone. Surprised it is this close though.
Wp lead 19-13
Intercept by Kwaste. Ven Den Heever clears. Kwaste lineout inside WP 22.
Kwaste on attack on WP 5 meter.
Knock on by Kwaste. Scrum to WP in own 22.
Kwaste win scrum. On WP 5 meter.
Penalty to Kwaste. WP offside.
Kwaste still on attack inside WP 22. Time is over.
WP defense being tested.
WP held on at the end. Kwaste looked like scoring. WP defense held up.
Well done Weepee, a win is a win.
Sorry boys check this refs garrage it is full of wine. No offside , no fault fark cmon he is watching all the time for a Quas knock never looked up to see the whole bloody WP side ofside all the time. Rugby is totally in the hand s of incompetent judges
How Sharks let Mnisi go I have no clue. He is pure class. Would like to see him in one of the big 3 next year. Though we know he will play for Cheetahs and even there he will show his class. He is going to be phenomenal in SR next year. He is pure class. Especially that he can show it at this level and not playing in the best team of CC this year.
Good on you Mnisi. Has Bok quality all over him.
Just so sad that RUGBY is the loser again. Refs rule. No farking ways can a team be so faultless in their own 22. WP is the AB,s copy book.
Come on my Sharks for tomorrow. Hope somehow we get the bonus point. Heavy rain forecast for tomorrow, so not so sure about that. WE have to win first, but a try bonus point would be terrific. Against the Cheetahs I doubt it though. So we just need to get the win for now.
Cheers , geluk WP julle is op n rol.

Super I watched the last 5 min or so. So really have no clue how the ref went tonight.
Honetly bru if the refs were not up to scratch then really we need to up our game. Something has to be done about it. Enough is enough with these incomptent refs.
I have no clue who is reffing the Sharks/Cheetahs game tomorrow. Just hope he is totally honest and refs a fair contest between the two teams.
Plenty rain forecast here for tomorrow. So not really expecting a 4 try bonus point game for either side.
113 @ Puma:
meant – incompetent

i also complimented the WP for not going offside. It is absolutely amazing stuff.
But i also watched the refs direction of his head , i cant recall any time where he looked right or left, is the attacking team not supposed to play and the gap must be kept by the defending team? If i am wrong …whow, great WP.
@ Puma:
WP defense is almost as legendary as the All Blacks attack, refs are totally mesmerized by them.
I always question things and it is not the first time i asked this type of questions. Until now no one could answer me this. Why cant other teams break the WP/Stormers defense?
Seldom in the past 4 to 5 years did they concede 4 tries.
On a lighter note one of our ex bloggers here , Ex Player said this-
Hoor nou n interressante storie: WP het laas 4driee in ‘n game gedruk toe die dooie see nog siek was!
OK lights out , cheers
115 @ superBul:
Super,
Like I said I only saw the last 5 minutes of this game so have no clue really.
If the refs even at this level are messing up we need to address that. As from this level they go to SR and then international rugby. If they not brought to book of what they done wrong at this level we will see forever incompetent refs at international rugby like we did last week, which was hurtful for all us SA supporters.
So they need to clean up their act right now.
Like I said I can’t really comment on the ref tonight as I only watched the last 5min. So have no clue really.
Just hope tomorrow with my Sharks and Cheetahs the ref is up to this level and has a good game. From what I have read the forecast is plenty rain for the game here tomorrow.
118 @ superBul:
Good night Super. I am going to watch some tv now. We were out for dinner tonight so missed most of this game.
I am last here so will turn off the lights.
Cheers and good night my friend.
