Hapless Stormers vs. Canes - Live Chat & Banter

 Stormers are moving the ball but they lose it, Can es running it out from their try line.

 First scrum & it goes down in a heap. Canes push the hapless stormers scrum back but stormers get the ball out.

 Penalty against the stormers for sealing the ball of in the ruck.

 Stormers players down all over the park - one off for a concussion test.

 Kock is down, looks like he has a shoulder problem. Barrett kicks the penalty 3-0 Canes.

 Beeno1 is not supporting his team, i n cloud cuckoo land as usual.

 Scrum penalty to stormers. Kickable kick.

 3 all after a 3 minute attempt to have a scrum & penalty going against the Canes.

 Penalty against Burger (2nd one all ready). Kickable. 6-3 after 20  mins. Some good running even though only penalty points so far.

 good morning JW,........ here 9 a.m. in a holyday friday at home,........ ready to watch the canes' running rugby dismantle the stormers

 and this seems a try.....

 Hi Abasquefan, yes a try with the convesion 13-3 after 27 minutes. Vito off - one of my fantasy team players.

...Hey JW n BP, been watching an epic game Doggies vs the Bunnies, just finished with controversial penalty  -Rabbitohs narrowly winning after trailing the whole match...so tuning in to see the Canes kick some yarpy butt...gotta love Friday night football...

 bad luck,...... Vito is a very good fantasy player,...... let see if it's only a blood-bin

 ..Oh dam Matu injured... Skudder in my Fantasy team also so win some lose some I guess ..

  hey brycy,........ this Milner-Skuder is a f*cking danger each time he gets the ball,....... I had him in my fantasy team but had to transferred when he was benched last week

 MS is electric, could have set up another try. Forward?

 nice try,........ again Milner-Skulder,......... and the stormers players very ugly

 ...yea Skudder and Gibbins were dirt cheap so grabbed them....was that Vito or Matu that went off ?..., my stream keeps buffering and freezing so missing a lot..

Fantastic try by Canes, entire length of the field starting from a turnover
Conversion good 25-3 Canes at the half. 3 first half tries.

 what a counter-attack try!!!!!!!!!

...toooo much , awesome try....boy the Canes are smoking tonight... Bean Brain yr getting blitzed mate... 

 brycy, both Vito and Matuu had to leave the field,...... and seems they are not going to return

 Hi Brycy, a good game of rugby so far mate. Wee Beeno must be hiding behind his sofa & sucking his thumb. 
Second half to come so we will see if Canes can keep the boot on the throat. Canes had less territory and less possession but the explosive nature of this team results in points.

 ...True...wel that's gunna pissoff a few managers...Canes looking like they're dominating in the forwards and the backs - Stormers got nothing...could blow out to a 50 point ball game this ... 

Canes on fire. Ominous. Who the fuck is this MS and where has he been. Stormers scrum looks good but other than that ?  

 I would say that the Hurricanes deserve the lead - after all they have 16 players on the field of play.   The ref is wicked - Smith clearly knocked on the ball five meters out from their tryline - but the ref ignores the knock-on and allows the game to continue ending up with a try on the other side.   
The Hurricanes scrum disintegrated constantly - but no penalty to the Stormers - in fact a short arm penalty to the Hurricanes followed.   We have another case here that the referees played a key role in two of the Hurricanes tries and that is totally unacceptable.  
I think the Hurricanes was on the game by far the better team - but crooked refereeing is a major problem in this case.
       

 Glad someone is waving the flag of "it's the ref' s fault" as Beeno is not around to do so.

 Stormers getting their arses handed to the,. I missed the 1st half, game started 1 hour earlier than I thought

  c'mon mike,......... do you really think that the ref is influencing the outcome?

 Matu'u is back

I diddnt see ref scoring the tries mike. They still had to execute brilliantly. Excuses.

 Penalty try to stormers coming off a scrum. 25-10 to Canes, stormers are still in this.

 Stormers looking good as the keep trying to run it. Penalty against the Canes. They will have to wake up.

 Stormers looking good as the keep trying to run it. Penalty against the Canes. They will have to wake up.

Stormers looked like they were on for all their money, but the referee said they were changing lanes, on a dual carriage way?

 De Allende is doing ok.

 67% of territory to stormers.
