265 – GBS ??? hahaha.
Nou moet hier spul Lowlanders ook nog Loftus toe … ons skuld hul nog een vir die pakslae wat hul laasjaar vir ons gegee het.
wELL DONE sTORMERS….it has been a few years since your fans could smile…..I am on record last year when Watsons left that the post luke team would be much better….look at the spirit of these guys, its great to see and good for SA rugby…Bulls and Sharks….look to your laurels….WP is back.
4man no 250 just read your comment
lololololololololol
Stormers now 3rd on log
270 – Well Isi, Your team now looking like a band of brothers playing for each other the whole way. They look a happy team and that is ALWAYS a good sign of a good team. Very good Stormers side. Also S. BURGER IS STILL THE MAN. What a brilliant player.
Schalk is a very good captain.
Well, like I said, this should have been, and was a 5 point game for the Stormers eventually.
Good win, and great for the confidence. Outstanding players for me was Deon Fourie and Schalla obviously.
In a good win like this, its more difficult to find players not playing well, than players that stood out.
Well, i’m off to the press conference. You guys enjoy the Cheetahs game. Go Cheetahs!!!!!!!!!!!
Treehugger…glad you enjoyed it….the only bad thing about this is that he is playing for my preferred team in England, but he has no pseudo sports officials and politicians to listen to his nonsense, so he is low profile and it is actually better for him and he is playing well….but Butch makes the Bath team, there is no question about that.
278 – Isi, Enjoy it mate and enjoy the win. Go celebrate your team done us all proud.
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
279 – 4man. I had heard after 2007 Butchie wanted to extend his contract with the Sharks for 2 years and they turned him down. Now that was daft. I know he has had plenty injuries since and probably wont last too long now, but the past 2 years we at the Sharks could have done with Butch for sure.
I supported bath cos of Butch now its Saracens.
281 – Loosehead, Okay today I am on yourside. So here it goes.
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT GO YOU GOOD THINGS.
Now if Cheetahs beat the Canes that will make my day, well if my Sharkies won that would have then been a perfect saffa day today.
Loosehead ok doll here it go’s
VRYYYYYYYYYYYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAT BY 6
@282 @283
he has injury problems…absolutely, but this layoff has been good, he must have been picking up stress fractures after too much rugby.
I am a member of the Saracens supporters club, I get good tickets for half price for Twickenham through them….also got the Baa baas game tickets thru them….I must actually book for the Boks for eoyt.
Puma we did win we were robbed 👿 even if it doesnt reflect on scoreboard.
Okay off to the Cheeetahs thread.
VRYYYYSSSSTTTTTAAAAATTTTTT EN HURRICANES SE MOER
Net n laaste aanprysing, Stormers staan SLEGS 38 punte af in 4 wedstryde, baie geluk.
I enjoy watching the club rugby in UK and France. Very different, more like old time rugby, or test rugby at times.
286 – 4man, sounds like running, too much of it cost me sometimes stress fractures. A good rest will have done Butchie good.
Get those tickets for Twikenham. Half price is good. I know they are expensive.
I may be joining you this year. Might be in Spain or Portugal from September. Looking to get a 2 bedroom holiday home there. Going to be selling my Joburg home if I get a good price. Then spend 6 months there and 6 months in Umhlanga. Miss the humid months of Durbs. All still thoughts right now but it looks like it could happen if I get a good price for my Joburg home. Will never ever sell my home in Umhlanga though. Love it too much there.
289 – 4man…hahaha.
Okay everyone over to the Cheetahs thread.
Netjies Stormers!! Lank gevat, maar die bonuspunt is in die sakkie!!
Isi
Laaste drie is deur Grant ge-convert, nie deur Cronje nie.
Game Photos up, go check above !
Oohhh my gosh 😯
Ruined my SuperBru 😥 but Congrats to the Stormers on what must have been a great team effort 😀
