Flok, somebody said last night I was too optimistic when I predicted a 17-point Stormers win…. looks like I was way too conservative rather!
Comes Stormers, Get your 50 or more.
schlak burger is played like a man possesed
181 – Gbs I said Stormers by 9 😯
Should have said by 30…hehe.
schalk
Stormers now demolishing the Chiefs scrum… I like it!
Ek merk Schalla/Louw ruil heeltyd plekke, NZ style.
Schalla spel heeltyd oopkant.
@184
Schlak sounds better…..
183 – Sharky, He is playing the rugby of his life, never have I seen Burger play this kinda rugby. Not even before he hurt his neck. He is just outstanding and I would have him in the Sharks team in a second…hehe. He just simply brilliant.
187@ Pieta – Al die spanne speel laaankal so Pieta
come on Schlak, vat die 50 punte man!!
sjeez. i would have shot the 3 pointer and go home…..
Yellow for the Chiefs Hooker, for repeatedly standing up in the scrum
@190
O sorry dan! Nog nie dit by ons spanne opgemerk nie.
hehe lmga, Kiwi cursing a Kiwi…… yess you frontrower
af flokkkkkkk! Should have been a 50 pointer
anycase best game this month, congrats Stormers!
Final score, Stormers 49 / 15
Welgedaan!!!!
Geluk aan al my Stormer bruvvas, dit was lekker om te sien.
Damn Walsh ends the game, wanted Stormers to push over for a try there and get over 50 points.
Stillll 49/15 is a real hiding.
WELL DONE STORMERS. THEY WERE SIMPLY OUTSTANDING.
CONGRATS TO OUR STORMER SUPPORTERS HERE. GO AND CELEBRATE TONIGHT.
NOT only have they made you proud they made all of South Africa proud.
NOW GO AND GET EM REDS NEXT WEEK STORMERS. First Bulls must get beat them tomorrow.
191 – ps in CT, He should have but nothing much to gain except a 50 pointer well would have been over 50 points. Jeepers Stormers looking just awesome.
NZ sal bietjie bekommerd wees. Stormers en Sharks het 2 daar gewen, en die Bulls 1. Lyk of daar net 1 NZ span dit op hierdie stadium gaan maak vir die semi’s … behalwe as Cthas more verras. 😉
Fender, jammer dat ek jou nie antwoord nie.
jou vrae:
1) Onerb, everytime I see your handle I read “One eye” as in “eenogig”. I dunno maybe my eyesights going or maybe its just the nature and content of your posts.
I think it is your eyesight, get it checked out.
2)Any comments on Vermeulen’s pace when he scored that try earlier
Open tryline back turning, even brock with a cold hammie would’ve scored that one
3 questions…… o.k I’ll answer this one too.
3) and the fact that those damn Stormer’s have managed 4 tries for a bonus point?
Great win, as stated before your rant came to light, I am very happy for your team.
Read my first post too “go stormers” if the answers provided doesn’t suffice.
#199 Thanks Puma, I’m glad you enjoyed it too…
And on behalf of the Stormers supporters here, I immediately apologise in advance for the Saint’s behaviour next week. Folks,get you hard hats and ear plugs while stocks last..
Puma
The difference between the past two weeks and the Force game is simply this- the tight 5 did not rock up vs the Force. This game specifically, the tight 5 fronted up and everybody else can feed and play off that.
Stunning stuff, Onerb – thanks!
@200 agreed Puma, but it’s like getting a 50 in cricket, so much more satisfying…. and sending a message
anycase Stormers are the team to beat apart from the Bulls. They must just work on consistency, not getting complacent and loosing to the likes of the Force again.
Pity that Stormers Bulls game is happening so late in the season, just the recipy for season ending injuries to both sides…..
Well, well, well… good start to the weekend.
Stormers can feel proud of this game, for sure!
btw GBS, isn’t Steve Walsh Kiwi?
Fender – my pleasure, congrats on your team, they are on fire!
Ja, dinge kan nou begin interessant raak. Dit is waar, elke naweek kan verrassings oplewer, dit is waar, so ‘n mens moet nie te vinnig voorspelings maak nie.
Maar, as die Bulle en Stormers op hul goeie vorm kan voortbou, behoort hul alles te wen … tot … 15 Mei: the Clash of the Titans !
Maar, ek vermoed al wat Stormers gaan hul longe uitskree vir die Reds om more die Bulle te klop, en, ek neem hul nie kwalik nie, want as die Reds daar wen, kan dit beteken dat ‘punteverskil’ op 15 Mei dalk kan bepaal wie bied die finaal aan. Maar, as die Bulle daar wen, dan bly hul daardie 1 voor die Stormers, en kan selfs met ‘n bonuspunt hier en daar 6 punte bo Stormers eindig.
Nou ja, hierdie is alles asse, ons sal moet sien wat gebeur elke week. Ek het wel so gevoel die Bulle se wen of verloor more, kan baie dinge beteken vir die res vd reeks:
1. wie eindig eerste en tweede
2. tuissemi plekke
3. of Reds nog dit gaan maak vir die semi’s
4. hoe sag gaan die Bulle die Reds maak vir die Stormers, ens.
Dit raak nou heel spannend. Sterkte vir die Bulle en Stormers !
