Great offload Petersen to DA opening the Blues defense. Another poor pass spoils it.

A few headless chooks out there in the 2nd half.
PSDT needs some glue on his hands...

Steph loses it for the third time, tackle coming over the top.

Good meters from Steph, and another foward pass spoils it for the Stormers.

Red. Only 10 minutes left so the color is academic from the game's perspective.

Steph drops the lineout ball and game over. 24 - 9 Blues, Stormers kept tryless.

The fact is that the Stormers have a stone age donkey as a coach,
The Stormers did not have a good game \with too many handling errors, Du Toit was for a change poor in ball handling and De Allende was as expected all over Nonu most of the game. But the problem is with the goal kicks when there should be corner kicks.

Stormers not playing well off each other, relying instead on long passes to create space, which does exactly the opposite.

That is why I use your term of stone age donkey coaches. By the way the wide passes is something which Francois Steyn specialized in and it never worked out, , because it eliminates overlaps.

Can't fault the Stormers for effort but backs lack the team skills to succeed. Far too many silly mistakes Forward passes and the likes.
Desparate need for a top class coach.

Sounds like Allende's tackling and Stephanie's hands lost the match. I'll report back with the real scoop after the golf.

Yes, the Stormers should have had the game in the bag when the Blues winger was red carded but conspired to throw it away with some silly errors.
Highlight for me was when Tuipolutu put the big hit on Itsabutt and stopped him in his tracks. That seemed to lift the Blues im measurably!
