I’m pretty sure that Schreuder will get subbed early in the 2nd half – Alastair needs to give us a chance of winning.
@ Just For Kicks:
Exactly.. if the Stormers have ambition to win this competition they should bury average teams like the Force… they really are making a mess of this, I am getting worried they might even lose.
62 @ robzim:
Force seem to always keep scores against them, by SA sides, to smaller margins.
Bulls beat them by 1 point only… at Loftus
Jeez, I hope the Stormers & Bulls both win today… it will make for such a monster of a game next weekend in Cape Town!
2nd Half ON!
Sies Ebersohn with a number of uppies now….
Force Free Kick, pre-engage at the scrum by the Stormers
Force penalty, due to a high tackle by Juan de Jongh
Against the post, Malherbe forced to dot down, 5m Force scrum
Eish skew scrum feed not seen.. Stormers get out of throuble though… good touchfinder
Force put the pressure on again…
De Jongh out of the defensive line again, up too quickly… luckily not exploited
Stormers holding on by the skin of their teeth… its nice to see Schalk’s array of skills but he must also make sure he does not miss so many tackles.
Kitskos & Mbonambi subbed by Scarra & the telletubby, Alistair Vermaak
Ping pong… till Kolbe puts an end to it… with a nice chippie, collected by him again
Force scrum, Stormers lucky because Scarra played the ball on the ground there
Not a pretty game… might end in a bit of a bum squeeker…
Scarra doing a Deon Fourie special… what a waste..
Not straight into the lineout by Scarra… Force opt for a lineout
The Greek taken late, not penalized
Stab through on Honey Badger’s side of the pitch… goes out.
Defensive Stormers lineout
Stormers really need start playing some rugby here, or the second worst team in the comp are going to cause a bit of an upset here
The Greek kicks out, not a good touchfinder, out just outside the Stormers 22
Force putting phases together… and eventually knocked
Stormers letting the Force do all the playing, virtually no Stormers possession of the ball at all
Maybe this change will spark something now
Solid Stormers scrum… and De Allende plays crash-ball.
Haylett-Petty kicks out directly
Yeah, Groom is on for Schreuder
Coleman & Koch is also on…
Passing from the base already looking crisper
