At last a little block appears with the score 12-12.

Stormers applying the blowtorch kbbs. Nice phrase from the commentator! Penalty in front of posts - will the ref keep up the good work?

Very poor ext strategy by Stormers and Highlanders score. Moronic play. Willemse dancing about n his own 22 instead of clearing!!

I think the main interest in this game is how all these second stringers go.To much class missing.

Van Wyk and Wiese off after banging their heads What a comedy of errors! Although it a four point difference its not looking good for Stormers. SP Marais also off.  This is very much a B team.

Highlanders in again and extend their lead even while playing against 16, Stormers coach has obviously been passing brown paper bags to the ref again

Glen Jackson calls forward pass against Highlanders. - weird to see Jackson getting it right pretty consistently this match given his record.

Duvenage keeps kicking ball away - mindless stuff . He and Rhule  are sub par.

Stormers looking better against weaker opposition but to many handling errors and poor defense is costing them

Rhule fouls up dangerous attack.

Hooker Marais also deserves a start.

Well done to Higlanders.

Stormers back ups not good enough to win game. If The Stor mers can get their best match 23 on the park at some stage they will do well.

Had to come, Stormers just holding on and defence fails again against the better team

Game over, Stormers fail to put a single point on in the second half, an improvement over last week but wont be seen in the playoffs with such poor defence. Also need to learn how to finish off an attack, some good moments let down at the end by turning over the ball

Well, not a close game at all, but it could have been close? I only read the commentary on live scores. It seems both sides made a few handling errors. Still much better than the string of huge defeats we got on tour last year. It this team can settle and gel a bit they might have a chance against some of the big teams, once some of our big names return from injury.... especially at Newlands... isn't it the last season at Newlands?

I'm watching the game now, some good passing by both sides & a few long breaks by the stormers. B. Smith makes a miracle tackle.
