Mighty Stormers pump the Lions scrum.

Hi Plum, HasBeen, Rondha…..I think Venter must be injured, he isn’t in the match line up.

The Stompies don't seem to want to kick. Sacha should be dropping bombs into the Lions 22.


The amount of times they've lost the ball in contacts is crazy. Lions making almost double the amount of tackles and yet winning the game by two scores after 40.

Softie Stompies trying to reduce the deficit in increments of three while the Lions just carry on scoring tries.


21-3.

I'm still to watch a Stormers game where Roos is the best loosie on the field.


He's being outdone by quite a few loosies today.

Stompies get their first try after the Lions defence disintegrates.


Hang on, looks like there may have been obstruction by Roos. Think this will get chalked off . . . looks good to me.


No, he wasn't wrapped. No try.

I think that lineout take was Dayimani's first touch since he came on


...but now it looks like Roos obstructed...

Well at last a great Stormers drive that demolishes the wee Lions!

But no try. We could of had at least two!

I think I am off for a run. Trying to lower my time by doing a new training Regime. Run a klm quick, slow down, run another klm quick etc

I will probably miss a great Stormers comeback!

Lions escape some pressure after Sacha tries to bring the other guys into it with some nice delayed passes.


20 minutes to go and they need 15 points


Ive missed a few Stompie games this season but it really does seem as though when Sacha plays like a normal 10 the Stormers have nothing else

Can't fault the Lions commitment on defence but that pass should have gone to Roos for a simple try.

So glad he made it into the Bok alignment camp.

Jirre another yellow.

Ref calls Lions not back 10 and 5 minutes later doesn’t call the Stormers for a worse example of the same thing. Rugby reffing remains irandom
