@ grootblousmile:

Stormers now hot on attack, Stormers scrum, 5m out
Meerkat Januarie on, so too Tiaan Liebenberg
Come Stormers, shut the Cape Maoris up
Stormers penalty 5m out again
Saders DRIIIIVE the Stormers back… Meerkat caught behind, turnover scrum
Golden opportunity gone for the Stormers
Saders steal a Stormers lineout
Only 9 min left
fourie off, damn!!
So far Wyatt Crockett should be Man Of The Match
Stormers lineout, 12m out
No, Cronje off, but why?
Saders steal this vital lineout again
Verbrokkel Harris knocks with the line begging
To use a Bulls term: the Stormers not accurate enough tonite.
FFS my stream has dropped! GBs keep the commentary going, please
Sonny Bill steals a ball from Gio Aplon’s hands…
Drop attempt from Berquist… miss
Saders have possession, 1 min to go
Saders closing it out now….
Penalty Stormers… they miss touch…. eishhhh
Hooter has gone… another Stormers penalty
Stormers keeping possession, another Stormers penalty….
Yet another penalty…. yellow for Marshall…. nearly 3 min in overtime
Game Over
Well done Saders – a brave, brave win….
Final Score: Crusaders 20 / 14 Stormers
Enormously disappointed in stormers. They disappeared in the second half. Saders played the ref, but they deserved the win.
Wyatt Crockett gets the Man of the Match award
