I think this game has either started or is about to start… TV feed a bit late to cross over…
Stormers already a try, by Ricus Pretorius!!
Benetton 0 / 5 Stormers
Benetton penalty, clear push… 45m out but kicked to touch.
Stormers penalty, deep in their own 22… not staying on their feet.
Benetton penalty… Evan Roos playing the ball on the ground…
Off the post… missed!!
Stormers penalty, high tackle on the scrummie…
Terrible Stormers lineout… stolen also by Benetton.
I don’t know why teams would pick Co-Captains… both Stormers locks are Co-Captains… strange!!
Crawling by Benetton… Stormers penalty on their own 22.
Forward pass by the Stormers… on halfway.
3 South Africans in the Benetton side, including their Captain, Dewaldt Duvenage… himself an Ex-Strormer…
Try Benetton, the hooker, Gianmarco Lucchesi!!
Benetton 7 / 5 Stormers
Benetton penalty again, deep in their own area…
Stormers man over the ball… Benetton holds on… penalty
Again a Benetton player rolls and rolls… penalty!!
Posts by Libbok…
Libbok is such an average to absolutely terrible flyhalf…
Benetton 7 / 8 Stormers
Manie Libbok did not work at the Blue Bulls, the Sharks quickly found the same and now some dufus has chosen to sign him for 3 years at WP and the Stormers…
Warrick Gelant with a mark…
There’s another player who has promised so much and never really lived up to the expectations at either the Blue Bulls or at WP / Stormers…
Last Stormers pass forward… should have been a try… after a massive break by Warrick Gelant (trying to prove me wrong about him… hahaha)
Good run by Benetton… making many, many metres…
Benetton lineout on the Stormers 22.
Medical attention to a Benetton player…
Nama Xaba on for Deon Fourie too… think it is a head assessment replacement.
Benetton running the Stormers ragged… saved by Nama Xaba, earning a penalty over the ball.
That’s where SA sides differ so markedly from the Italian, Irish and Welsh players… playing towards the ball and over the ball, whereas the Northern sides play recycling and continuity rugby and not trying so much to steal or turn vital ball over… and also rather defending than trying to steal ball from the SA sides…
We will see as the tournament unfolds whether the Northern Hemisphere referees allow the SA sides to steal and place men over ground balls…
Great stab-ahead by Edwill van der Merwe… winning a lot of ground.
Stormers penalty at posts… slotted!
Benetton 7 / 11 Stormers
