Blikkies Stormers definitely had an edge.
Add in Marx and should be okay.
Who else is doing better. Lions props not bad.

Should the Stormers win with this makeshift team the Sharks will be extremely embarrassed.
Bad call ref!
But Stormers second string lead 6-5!
Senatla is a gutsy little player needs a creative 13 to set him up. JJ i s not that player.
Stormers scrum dominan ce earns penalty!
Bongi getting stuck in but gives away penalty. Like Bongi 's attitude.
Bongi does great work. Playing ver y well
Moz yes another doubtful penalty.
Nkosi loses ball
Fassi down. Cant say he impresses.
Yup its cat and mouse.
Oh no Senatla dots down but its forward pass.
Nkosi could play 13.
Scrum penalty to Stormers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Du Plessi s nails it its 9-5
Oopsie ... ouch
Oh dear Sharks score to win.
But proud of the guys, a makeshift side almost won. As things stand no point in going further too many injuries.
Congrats to S harks.
Moz the Sharks should have won this comfortably given the makeshift Stormers team
As Mallet is saying both team were not up to scratch. Glad we are not wasting our time being in playoffs. This side would not go further. M allet is now saying exactly the say thing. The Stormers are out on their feet with injures. Sharks have better chance. Agree.
Mallet said try was Du Plessi s fault.
Good rugby genes runs in the family.
PSDT has become used to get the MOTM award and today his brother, Johan followed in his footstep by receiving the MOTM award.
Geez rootwt you cant be proud that your first strangers very nearly lost to this make shift Stormers crowd! Ou rootwit has no dea!
Moz see the younger Du Tot was man of the match. Runs in the family!
What was du Plessis' mistake?
Way I see it, Am was Du Plessis' man while Senatla easily had Smith on the inside covered coming from behind.
Du Plessis though breaks his line to tackle Smith on the inside and Senatla coming through at chase pace simply overruns the inside break from Am, while Leyds is obviously trying to get in a position to cover Nkosi.
So basically Du Plessis, by tackling the inside man, forced a scramble across which always leaves defenders vulnerable to the inside step (which is why Du Plessis should have held his line). If Am had kept going straight Senatla had him easily too, but the step inside was more than Senatla's brakes could handle.
No question defenders overran, but Du Plessis leaving his line certainly turned a fairly simple defensive situation (where Senatla reigns in Smith, Du Plessis takes out Am and Leyds then gets the wing) into a more confusing one.
It obviously was e Allende's mistake - the first thing Mozart at it again.
