If there is a member of site who gets to 10% of your biases he will be doing well in the bias stakes.    There can never be one - your list of players you are prejudiced against is too long for anybody else to reach.

Du Toit is a class act no matter where he plays. He is most certainly getting better and better on the blindside.

Mozart doesn't like him and so he tries to spread this rubbish every week ... it's to be expected. There isn't anything that Du Toit can do to win his favour.

Funny though, he doesn't have anyone better as a replacement ... not on the blindside ... nor at lock.

He also doesn't have time for Kitshoff ... with good reason ... as Kitshoff is a far more powerful and technically sound loosehead prop than the old-timer Beast. It's been proven over and over.

It seems that his distaste of players has now extended to Combrinck ... as he was apparently caught and out paced by Wilco Louw yesterday.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaa!!!

It's how he roles.

Any bets that he can't even put a Bok Match 23 together. There will be the usual string of excuses about player quality, age, no depth ... blah, blah, blah ... or we'll see a list of the elderly heroes of a decade ago.

LOL!!!

Saffex when you fail to dominate Dreyer you are not scrumming well. Also he is usually a dynamo around the park but was less soon Saturday. On form Kitshoff though is a very good loosehead.

Anyhow nice to see you again S napster!

The Stormers have a lot of home games at Newlands so we hope for some good results

It's amazing how the truth has to be assaulted. The truth is Stephanie will always be a compromised flank and the truth is Dreyer got the better of Kitshoff yesterday. That's not to say Stephanie can't make contributions at flank, and Kitshoff can't have good scrumming days. Stick with the truth and you wont be embarrassed.

...Sharkbok next time you g et stuck, all the Super Rugby is free on Vipleague.com......there are a couple of popups when you first click on a link but simply exit out of them...plenty of sports streaming live on there,  not just rugby...

Livetv is another free alternative site worth bookmarking just incase you can't get vip to work...

An explanation needed - how come does  a team who lost against the Blues and the Jaguares and struggled against the Sunwolves beats the Stormers with ease?

Funny how Du Toit cracks the team of the week ... at lock ... and yet was selected to play on the blindside.

Aren't we supposed to be looking for the best lock of the week ... or is this just another "anything goes" kinda thing.

Next thing we'll be seeing a loosie who was selected at wing brought in as the best 8th man of the week.

"Case closed" ... ?

More like a crock of shit if you ask me.

Mozart ... are you finally warming to a Du Toit at lock ... or ... are you just having an off day today?

I think they took Du Toit as lock because he went into that position when Van Dyk came on as a loosie.    However, he was the best forward on display with Marx being in the same category,

Don't ask Mozart for his opinion on Du Toit - he will goo bananas - you know his opinion on the guy was formed in 2013 and he has never had anything positive to say about the guy,

Kitshoff was not dominated by Dreyer at all. The big difference in the scrums came from the power of Marx at hooker . Dreyer is too crap to dominate any loosehead. Fact is Kitshoff and Wilco Louw have been excellent all season both in the scrums and general play. Schoeman and du Toit have also been good. Marx is by some distance the best hooker in the game. PSDT has been excellent all season but needs to be kept at lock. Lood was on fire before his injury. JL du Preez has been phenominal - the guy like Marx is a physical freak. Kolisi and Kwagga have been good. All our best 9’s are playing up here. Jantjies has been our best 10. With Willemse looking promising de Allende has rediscovered his form, Esterhuizen has been on fire adding some deft touches to his power game. Jessie has been very good at 13 looking confident as has Am. The Lions are messing JVR and Vorster about with the choping and changing. Dyanti, v/Wyk, Ismiel and Mapimpi have been good on the wings Coetzee and Gelant good at 15

Kitshoff was not dominated by Dreyer he was dominated by Marx....and the late night comedy routine continues. Exactly how does a loosehead get dominated by a hooker, when the heads of the opposing tighhead and his own hooker intervene. This would have been far fetched if you said Marx dominated Wilco.....saying Marx dominated Kitshoff is embarrassing Sapp.

Well ... I would certainly be interested to find out how Marx dominated Kitshoff ... especially seeing as he would had to dominate him through the opposing hooker.

LOL!!

It blows me away to see some of the excuses that people come up with when a favourite of theirs is taken apart.

I can understand the tighthead suffering under that kind of tactic.

Maybe we should give Dreyer a little more credit. He has been solid for the Lions so far. I like him and don't regard him as bad as you lot do.

Jantjies is having another relatively good season ... but he'll fail once again at test level. No BMT. Too many confidence issues. He's just not a test match player.

Esterhuizen has most certainly shown a bit of form. He distributes nicely and seems to be solid on defense. Could be the answer we're looking for at 12.

Tend to agree...at least Esterhozen isn't a proven failure at test level like the Tractor.
