I don’t think this game will have us on the edge of our seats!! 😉
At least it’s stopped raining and warmed up a few degrees, but expect it to be slippery underfoot. Also no wind to speak of.
OK, I’ve picked the Stormers by 21 on Bru… but that’s before I knew it would be wet weather.
Who would I want to win?
Rugby, of course!
Game ON!
Quite a decent crowd in. Little bit surprised.
Hard early attack by the Stormers… and then a relieving Lions penalty
Cardinal mistake by Francis. Can’t afford to miss touch at this level.
Penalty Stormers, Gary van Aswegen to go for posts
Stormers 3 / 0
Penalty Stormers. van Aswegan for poles from inside his own half. Difficult kick in these conditions. Geez. Nailed it big time.
Turn over ball. van Aswegan keen to run.
From where I’m sitting it looks like Blaauw is wearing a pair of Y fronts over his head!
Stormers nearly through, a desperate Taute hand frustrating the final pass
12@ Scrumdown:
Hy moes homself aantrek vandag, ma wassie daar nie…
Try Stormers. Lions defence all over the place.
Try Stormers, Danie Poolman
Conversion good. Stormers 10 up after 10!
Stormers 10 / 0 as Dewaldt Duvenage converts…. yes Duvenage
Gary van Aswegen looks to be coming off, to be replaced by Lionel Cronje
van Aswegan off injured. Looks like a knee. Lionel Cronje on in his place.
Duvenage converts?!!!
Penalty Lions, from a scrum.
Can the Lions capitalise? Need to get into this game.
I’ve always maintained that they stole Wikus Blaauw from that cartoon Movie, Toy Story
Lions running looks pedestrian. Lack of penetration makes Francis try the drop.
Over. Lions on the board.
Drop Goal by Francis
Stormers 10 / 3
Cronje’s drop not quite the same quality as Burton’s…
Penalty Stormers, offside… Lionel Cronje going for goal
24@ grootblousmile:
I see your point.
Penalty Stormers.
Cronje for poles. 42m out.
OVER. Stormers lead 13 – 3.
Stormers 13 / 3
3 different Stormers kickers, all successful
