Relative sitter missed by Robert du Preez!

Another Stormers penalty, this one too far out to go for goal.

Stormers scrum, 12m or so out.

Stormers pinged for playing the ball on the ground…

Another very kickable Saders penalty… they kick to the corner in stead.
20

grootblousmile on 22 April 2017 at 9:57 am

Saders knock… but it is looking rather ominous against the Stormers.
