Classic case of underestimating the opposition.......what a shocking performance that was......took them back a good few steps from their performances last year.
Venter was ok at 12, Coenie as solid as ever and Labascagne had a solid game........for the rest it was poor stuff.......Hendricks on the wing will want to forget that game, as will Venter at 9.
The Stormers were disappointing and snuck in late. de Allende stood out at centre as did Aplon on the wing. Taute had a very solid comeback game. Schrauder was poor, Groom so much better. Frontrow was solid, Fourie a menace and Vermeulen had a solid game.
Bulls vs Lions game was never going to amount to much in the rain. Hougaard had an asssured game at 9, with the boot of all things. du Plessis continues to impress as a ball carrier at 7
All in all an average weekend of rugby by the SA side
