Frenetic, end to end stuff
Phweeeew,
Stormers know how to fark things up, don’t they!
Saders close…. and they get an easy penalty.
51 @ Puma:She is very correct in one thing, SA have no idea just how much he is going to be missed
I dont know how schalk did not knock that ball, but brilliant defence from the stormers.
This is why deon fourie HAS to play for the stompers
59 @ Just For Kicks:
Saders opt for the scrum… wow!
Why dont captains take the points anymore?
Oh The crusaders cant kick.
Good Stormers defence on their own line, small Stormers knock… another Saders scrum, 5m out
Big gamble and statement of intent from the Saders to take a scrum instead of 3
Showing they back themselves against the much vaunted defense
The Saders are just playing into the Stormers hands here.
Saders scrum penalty again, this time it will be a lineout…
This is pathetic by the saders, just a bunch of one off runners… Extremely vulnerable today, so predictable.
Solid defense by the Stormers
Goeie verdediging deur die Stompies.
Jeeez, heavy traffic in defence…
Another Saders scrum.
TMO asked to look at something, potential foul play
Fucking Aussie refs.
Mooi Schalk, laat die bolle rol !
Good refereeing this. I agree 100%
No foul play man… Schalla just slapped the guy away who was holding him.
Stormers defensive penalty!!
Chance to get out of their danger area

Fu cking brilliant Aussie refs!
Watching the first 20 minutes, it is apparent to me that the Stormers coaching staff either don’t speak the same language as the team, missed their flight to NZ, or have a serious drinking problem and spend more time in the pub than at the training ground. The Stormers are living purely on their own ability here, there seems to be absolutely no structure or idea
Sanity prevails
At last a ref gives the perp the penalty
Unlike last week when Cooke held a player back and the retaliatory was punished
Good call by the ref
Ben sou jy dieselfde gese het as n Saders speler sy water en ligte afgesny het met n right jab?

Penalty against the perp
Retaliator not retaliatory

For sure JFK and I agree with her. Smith was terrific for us and has to be our best cricket Captainwe ever had. He will be missed huge.
Good work Stormers.
Ian Joneth should theally not be a commentathor wiff that voice.
Schalk speel goed, baie besig. Met al die ou manne wat nou so goed speel en ‘n comeback maak, gaan HM se bok agttal seker so lyk vir WB 2015:
Os
Gary Botha
BJ
Frik du Preez (k)
Vic
Schalk
Juan
Spies
Line out woes continue
Wish we can get a hooker who can throw in properly down to Cape Town
