First time I noticed Ali Vermaak. He is giving Thomas du Toit a very hard time. Unbelievable!


Score after 37min WP 6 - Sharks 0

Blikkies,  he's been playing for us for a few seasons now and is finally maturing as a 1. He looks quite different with the shaven head. Used to sport a pony tail.

Du Toit off, Coenie on.

Sharks score a try and a penalty. Score 7-6 Sharks.

Akker showing why he should be Marx's understudy.

Dan and JL starting to monster people. 

Stormers look like they're fading.

Good call.

Stormers need to get Willemse into the 10 position.

They look toothless right now.

Stander is not the playmaker that Willemse is.

Vermaak seems to have Coenie's number as well.

Sharks look very tired. Not over yet. 5 min left.

Akkers should be looking for an overseas team in Europe. 
He's too good to not be competing with Marx for the starting hooker position.
I'm sure Joe Schmidt could find some Irish ancestry somewhere for him.

Brits ahead of Acker is a huge blunder by Rassie. Probably his biggest so far.

Only the guys next to him will be able to tell you what his scrumming is like. 

As far as watching him from the stands goes, Akker seems to make things happen and gets involved where/when it matters.

Another Akkerman/Swys product wearing his heart on his sleeve.

Hell, it's a long list.

Dan Du Preez is pure class. Just never stopped today. A big game and he stepped up big time. Very happy for the guy!

I felt the scoreline flattered the Stormers a bit. 

Sorry Draad.

On the upside...Haha Vermaak just owning everyone put in front of him. Flew under the radar this year. Don't think I heard mention of him once on here all season. And he wasn't strumming against pleas today either.

Congrats to the guppy Saarks, winning away makes it extra sweet.

Imo, the Brits selection is total bollocks, especially when a quality player like Akkers is available. DiscoDassie, please explain!  I reckon selections like Brits/Aplon encourage local players to go OE.
