The gap now 7, 9 minutes to play
Arghhhh Pietersen drops the ball… gee die man ‘n mandjie!
Hoekom het Elstadt ‘n geel gekry ?
Bloody cheating kiwis AGAIN!
Ref says advantage over, then changes his mind? WHAT???? Can’t do that at all. That is plain cheating. Now Dag kicks it out on the full and the damn ref says advantage not over. That is cheating plain and simple. Hope the world is watching these cheats. So tired of them since the Bryce messed up with our Boks in the wc.
Fair challenge?
It REALLY is time for neutral refs again.
Oh fark, Shadow knocks 5m out…..
Sorry Shadow.
Thats it, it’s going to be all over for the Stormers now, very little chance for the Stormers to come back from this, and the Saders with a huge attacking platform
naah thats game, set and match. can only hope to get something out of this match!!
Saders very close
Neutral refs is the only way forward. This is a bloody mess with this reffing system.
Cheating ref. Can’t call advantage over then changes his mind and says not it is not over? Bloody cheats.
Shadow effs up and that puts the nail in the Stompies’ coffin…
Jean de Villiers offside… easy, easy one
Crusaders 31 / 21 Stormers
Stormers going to come away with no bonus points again, really going to hurt them now
Hoe moes JDV daar uitkom ? Dit is hoe Bulle ook verloor het teen Stormers. Joubert het vir Kruger en Sadie ook so gestraf, die manne kan onmoontlik daar wegrol. Moet ‘n skrum wees vir aanvallende span.
Man, even though my Bulls MIGHT move to the top of the table after tonight, I’m not happy!
Oh dear, it’s all falling apart now
A penalty is all the Stormpoppies can hope for now to get a losing bonus point…
Less than 2 minutes to go… the margin 10
Less than a minute to go…
… and finally there won’t be an unbeaten side in the competition….
Wow, hierdie Crusaders was goed. Bitter min foute gemaak en strafskoppe afgestaan. Niemand anders sou die Stormers vanaand geklop het nie.
I don’t understand this ref at all, De Villiers gets ping for off sides, 2 minutes later, a Crusaders player on the wrong side, and it’s just a scrum?????
Time is up… Stormers have the ball, but it’s far out
Stormers het ‘n bonus punt verdien.
Stormers penalty within range…. take the points boys!
C’mon Stormers, Posts please, take the bonus
Take the penalty boys!
