    @ nortie:Better crowd in Bloem than up north

    Following on from your comment in the previous thread, is their some sort of protest here too? So few people coming on RT now that I can hear the echo every time I post!

    Ha ha, don’t know, seems like it.
    Sites like Rugby365 are buzzing with comments, from different people.
    Maybe people have moved to ther sites, the only time people talk here is when a game is on, no news posted here so people probably go to the sites that is updated daily?

    28 @ Scrumdown:Hope so, miss the banter. Not even Pietman showing up, and he was part of the furniture!

  • 33

    Vermaak’s kick hopelessly too deep.

  • 34

    Current temp >30 deg according to the commentators so no wonder some mistakes come into play.

  • 35

    Not a great advert for the game thus far.

  • 36

    Cheetahs scrum the Stormers inside out!

  • 37

    Cheetahs maul it up to 10m out.

  • 38

    But the hands let them down. Forward pass.

  • 39

    Jeez, Stormers thought that if they played in Crusader jerseys the Cheetahs would be overawed and roll over like they usually do against NZ opposition

  • 40

    As good as du Preez was last week, so poor has he been thus far today IMO.

  • 41

    39 @ nortie:
    Bwahahaha. Overjoy

  • 42

    seems to be little structure to the Stormers attack.

    Hooter goes.

    As the Webmonster says “Lemoene”.

  • 43

    Time to see if the Captain’s ship has docked yet! Pleasure

  • 44

    42 @ Scrumdown:
    Yep, every man for himself in the back line, no one doing the hard work to put someone in a better position away.
    Lions do it perfectly, play for each other and the tries they score can be ascribed to the whole team, not just the guy who’s name is on the score sheet

  • 45

    Competive stuff this is and will be close all the way to the end I bet…unless of course someone explodes…lots of sore bodies in that dressing room at half-time…

    Joubert already saying to captains to cut out the high tackle kak by both teams… cause it’s geelkaart next…

    Our scrums are shit again,Cheetahs scrums looking good…

  • 46

  • 47

    2nd half on.

  • 48

    Cheetahs need to win one to get some self belief.

  • 49

    Line outs are like lollipop scrambles at an U7 game.

  • 50

    du Preez’s knee gone.

  • 51

    Coleman on.

  • 52

    Now we are stuffed…the Coolerbox returns to the scene where he cost us last year.
    Now we need tries, we can’t rely on kicks

  • 53

    Coleman’s first contribution is to miss touch. Eish.

  • 54

    FFS if Rhule had half a brain he could become a decent Rugby Union player.

  • 55

    I have zero faith in Coleman…. Cheetahs should take this one.

    If he had half a brain he would be considered over qualified to work for saru

  • 57

    High tackle by de jager after both teams had a warning and he cops a yellow.

  • 58

    56 @ nortie:
    Overjoy Overjoy Overjoy

  • 59

    Cheetahs win the penalty at the tackle.

  • 60

    55 @ robzim:
    I must admit I can’t understand why the Stormers keep playing him.

    Is there not a better option available?
