Well done Stormers.
Final Score: DHL Stormers 29 / 28 Highlanders
Well, thats a win, and a wrap – at least its a win, and a bonus point to boot. Thats AC’s job secure for another 2 years then. Well done Stormers.
Well Done Stormers.
Landers will be pleased to leave our shores with 7 points.
Bonus point win!
Another Kiwi team bites the Newlands dust…whooopaaaah!
Bonus point win for the Stormers… but they also gave away 2 bonus points (4 tries and losing with only 1 point).
Well done AC, come back, all is forgiven
Good try by Spain sees them level the score. Aus 7/7 Spain
@ Pietman: The last thing we need is an AC fan club, now keep quiet, he may hear you.
Well, if the Stormers can do it, then the Bulls certainly can too!

OK, let’s move over to the Bulls / Staat thread
@ grootblousmile:
Forget the Stormers, what the Bulls? They should take it at Loftus, no? Loosies lacking though…
@ MacroBull: Not you as well, hahaha
AC for president.

Frans M is a happy man
So it wasnt AC is was the teams execution all along!
Well done Stormers
Another SuperBru pick down the drain, but what the hell, worth it
All that possession and a victory by just one point. The Highlanders were a helluva lot better with their ball-in-hand skills and in the way they approached the defender. Our skill sets were appalling by contrast.
Oh, this was the first game I watched ’cause Super rugby bores me now. Maybe I should watch more and the Stormers will win more 🙂 🙂
@ MacroBull:
Why the heck doesn’t AC bring in a skills coach. Hell, he has a defence expert, why not an attack expert…! Our ball skills are appalling.
@ mikeybrass:
Not so sure about the Sharks, who has been on a downward curve skill wise, as well as the Lions who won games with defense and kicks, but in the last 2 weeks we should not complain much especially with the Stormers and Cheetahs skills, the Stormers still is not in the same league as the kiwi’s but things are improving and Willie le Roux is simply the odd one out in SA rugby…and that’s good the rest of the season looks promising.
Well done Stormers. Well done.
Bullu better look out next week. Gonna beat them by 20 points.
Did I say, well done Stormers?
Jipeeeeee! A BP at last.
@ MacroBull:
Only Damian from the Stormers’ backline – leaving aside the Cheets and I love Willie – looked capable of going head-to-head with the Highlanders’ backline in terms of skills. The intent is there but how far are you going to get if the players aren’t equipped with the relevant skills. We need to bring in someone to do so.
Well done Sharks, Stormers and Bulls…
Missed all the rugby yesterday…
