execution not good enough!! jeez!!
I picked the Blues by only 4 on Bru..
Must say, the Blues are not playing that well either, a clinical side would have punished the Stormers by now
super @ 60
hallucinating?
Blues 2m out, then bundled out
@ Ashley:
maybe that Grandpa powdery stuff
Blues pinning the Stormers deep in their own 22.
There will have to be a drastic change to turn fortunes around
Stormers will need a bit of luck if they are going to turn this around. The rugby gods don’t seem to have any intention of smiling on them. the continuous handling errors are a result of their lack of confidence. They are looking more like the Bulls in the earlier part of the season.
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyy Juan de Jongh!
Blues 19 / 13
😯 we crossed that white powder thingy!! yippeeeeeeee is mos the correct word for something like thast nê?
Sien ek het nie ge halusineer nie NE
Goeie drie deur Stormers. Wedstryd nog lank nie verby nie. Sadie lyk goed.
De Jongh taking his chances now well… arghhhh, penalty Blues
Good try by JDJ. Agree with you Bigblu that these Blues are not very good because another team would have buries these poor stormers.
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Sadie
What a turn-around
super @ 1
hmmm, lyk nie so nie … miskien moet ek jou van nou af super_siener noem? 😀
Duvenage misses… eish
Blues 19 / 18
Sadie moet Bulle toe kom , daar is te veel senters daar innie Kaap
Goeie come back van die Stormers.
Incredible, the Blues are now just falling to pieces and the stormers are back in the lead!!
JEEEZZZ!!!!!! Is there no consistency in these teams anymore. It’s incredible – completely shyte one moment and then brilliant the next!
ok, ek net gou my blues jersey uittrek en my stormers jersey aantrek!!
Penalty Blues… they will go for posts
Missed by McAlister
Moes AC nie ‘n ekstra losskakel op die bank gehad het nie ?
This game is not over, by a long shot
bdb @ 85
my thoughts exactly!!
Try Munro for the Blues
Nou gaan ons sien of die AB’s/Blues die druk kan hanteer … soos in ‘n WB ‘final’ ?
Blues 26 / 18
