Great win by severely depleted pack but we need the big boys back. Should have a better pack on field nexr week with Elstadt, Kitshoff and eEtzebeth back and possibly Koster.But this was a very needed win in difficult circumstances. Van der Heever shows great touch of class. Why Jean moved to wing is a mystery.
Now bulle need to see if their legends" can beat the Cheethas no namers!
...haha Moonbean not so great win being reported too...unconvincing they say...leaking too many tries...Canadian saves the day ...just like Mounties to the rescue haha....rain puddle team almost all dried up .....might stormers do the job ?...sitting bull thinks your chances are about as good as Moonbean's spelling...not very good at all haha
Stormers were piss poor today
And Jantjies and Strauss were great?
Actually yes both individuals were great as were a few Stormers, but as a team they were poor
Piss poor or not, a win is a win, and we scored 3 tries!
Good win and thats all that counts, but they need to up their game moving forward
first off, Stormers were no good today(and yes, it's still Saturday for me) That is not going to cut it when it comes to winning this league. BUT, a win is a win, and we will take it. Kolisi looked good, as usual, and Fourie at Flank surprised me. So all in all, a job done.
As For Jebb sinclair, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I don't think I've screamed louder when I scored a try myself! so happy for the guy.
Lot of work to do for the Stormers for sure. Etzebeth, Elstadt, and Pieterson all back next week, so I expect much more.
Very good try scored by Sinclair and that shows how really good a player he is. He came on when the Stormers were in trouble and made a real difference. Delighted to see him performing as he adds value to Canadian rugby.
@Mike
I think Sinclair is much better utilized coming off the bench. He's a good player, but I'll admit, he's not that good of a player to play a full super rugby game. He can come off the bench and keep up with the pace with 20 or so minutes to go and give the team good tackles, and good metres run. A good move by Coetzee. With Elstadt back next week, it give's him more options as well.
Poor performance by Stormers, but missing key personnel did not help the cause. Stormers will definitely bounce back next week with Etzebeth, Kitshoff, Elstadt, Habana and Joe Pieterson.
Only hope these okes start scoring some bonus point tries!!
Stormers just need to keep a tight defensive structure, pressure kick and chase and good goal kicking - its what has made them contenders. Forget the bonus point tries and flashy rugby - thats not them.
I would love the Mighty Stormers to get their considerable act together and get a 5 pointer for once.
Then of course the sharks beat the bulle and we win the SA Conference again. Oh yes and Sharks stay in hunt for playoffs.
We need 3 SA sides in the playoffs to put ou sitting bool on his place. This rain puddle team will drown the chiefies sitting bool. I see a dark moon rising for chiefies!
Beeno form here on going forward all the stormers need to do is win, win, win. Don't worry about bonuspoints,
