Naivalu looks to be out…

Yes, no try is the call… foot out!
32

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 12:57 pm

Stormers knock, at the Rebels lineout…
33

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:00 pm

Try Rebels, far right corner??

TMO again…

This one looks good… and is a try by Jonah Placid!!

Good tackle by Pieter-Steph du Toit though!

Rebels 24 / 23 Stormers
35

Stormers penalty right in front… high tackle… shot to re-take the lead.

Good steal by the Rebels off Jaco Taute on the ground… in Stormers territory.
40

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:07 pm

Try Jack Debreczeni, Rebels… under the sticks!!
41

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:07 pm

Rebels 31 / 31 Stormers

All level….
42

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:08 pm

20 Minutes to go in the game…
43

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:10 pm

Fuglistaller cops a Yellow for deliberately collapsing the maul on the Rebels goal line…

Stormers opt to scrum 5m out…
44

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:12 pm

So, despite great Stormers set phase dominance, the Rebels have hung in there and the scores are tied at present…
45

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:14 pm

Stormers scrum penalty advantage… and they get the penalty…

Not pushing straight is the call.

Stormers opt to scrum again… they will want to force a Penalty Try or have such big pressure that they could score either side of the scrum.

Very inviting blind side at this scrum…
46

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:14 pm

Try, Nic Groom, Stormers!!
47

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:15 pm

The scrum screwed… Schalla picked up and offloaded to Groom… and it was a try…
48

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:15 pm

Rebels 31 / 36 Stormers
49

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:16 pm

Tryyyyyy Damian de Allende, to the right of the sticks!
50

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:17 pm

Rebels 31 / 43 Stormers
51

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:18 pm

12 Points deficit… 11 minutes to go in the game.
52

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:19 pm

5m Scrum to the Rebels… that was doff by Zas!!
53

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:20 pm

So… the Stormers scrum has to be strong here… they cannot let up…
54

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:21 pm

Rebels close…
55

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:22 pm

Good Stormers defence… but advantage to the Rebels for slowing it down… another advantage against Pieter-Steph du Toit…

Penalty given… quick tap and go…
56

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:25 pm

6 Minutes to go in the game…
57

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:26 pm

Try Leolin Zas… intercept…

Under the sticks…
58

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:28 pm

Rebels 31 / 50 Stormers
59

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:31 pm

Stormers penalty… kicked out 6m out…
60

grootblousmile on 2 July 2016 at 1:32 pm

Tryyyyyy Scarra Ntubeni… bonus point Stormers!!
