Mighty Stormers versus wee Cheetahs official match thread

Go Stormers. Hope the kbbs are watching some real rugby this a fternoon.

 Good to see kiwi nemesis Eben back in action!

 Good call ref. Penalty to Mighty Stormers! One has a reqsonable hope thayt the rf will call it fairly !

 Stormers squandering chances. Not good

 Vermaak goes off injured, blow to head.Then nice Stormers try!!!!!!!

 Good afternoon Beenz. Nice try by Stormers.

 Too many silly errors!

 Hi there Draad. Game hasn't got going yet.Wonder how ou JW is doing in la la land!

 Much better Stormers. S!P Marais made it. Try!!

 Its 15-3

 Leyds scores again!!!! Its been a busy half with too many errors but guys are trying!22-3

 Match nicely under control thus far!

 Another great piece of skill from SP Marais. Try time!
ou rooitwit probably wondering why his hapless guppies cant do this sort of thing!

 Cheetahs score via rolling maul. 29-10

The Stormers lack a formidable pack and have a lot of small backs. They don't look like serious challengers right now.

 Brilliant work by Robert Du Preez. Looks the best flyhalf in south Africa right now. Try time!
Its 34 -10

After sustained pressure Kolisi scores!
It's 41-10!

 Very slick passing leads to another great try!
Ou Jw will be gobsmacked if he sees this. Rooitwit will be wetting himsel f. hahahahhahahahahaha

 Its 48-10

Robert du Preez is playing very well.....definitely one of the players in the running for Bok 10.

 Well don e Cheslin for try saving tackel

What a chase by Kolbe...bad luck Henko, it looked like a grand moment.

 Another great try this time its Notche after Kolbe break!!!!!!!!!!!!!Stormers not letting up!
Greetings to Dr Moz

 Its 53-10!

What a runner that Kolbe is.....brilliant try.

 Stormers look fit and full of running.
Can they handle a top pack and top backline. Ti me will tell but this was a good win 

One can see what that Kiwi advisor has done for the Stormers .   There off-loads in tackles were master class embodied by especially a player like Viljoen.   All the stormers did well and it is clear that the Stormers backline is something special.  
Is SP Marais Springbok material?

 SP  looks streets ahead of Willie, but he looked average at the Snarks and da Bools. Time will tell. 

S o all you Chiefies fans are you up for the match next week! wonder if they will pitch? (snigger!)

He was average at the Sharks and the Bulls - just think who the coaches were when he played for them.  His style never fitted in with what he has been given a free reign to do what he is doing  now.    As I said the Stormers backline has learnt a lot from their Kiwi advisor.  

 Andries Coetzee has looked good as well. Don't know how Willie is playing.
Ou Maaaaikie you are right. The kiwi coach has definitely taught them things that are in any event basic skills!
Frankly we need a kiwi backline coach at the sharks and  the Bulle. We could see a huge improvement.

 Oh, were the wee stormers playing? I had some matters to attend to & will have to rely on Beeno's account of the game.
Reviewing this thread there is no mention of the opposition, glad the Cheetahs were mentioned in the title. 

The scoreline indicates that the Cheetahs had some sought of financial arrangement with the wee stormers. We will have our resident financial genius Mozart check this out as he is probably the most familiar with these types of shenanigans.
I'll watch the replay later & give my cut & paste analysis - some bait for wee cc - let's see if he bites again. In the meantime I will watch the Mighty Chiefs game .

 Cheaters will lose more yhan they win running everything at all cost. Stupid rugby by the Boks backline coach.

 Draad
The Stormers has a great center combination - the best in many years.     That gave them a massive advantage.   As a result they use the backline better than what they used to do in the past.
I think that is what was part of the difference.   The other part was their Tight 5 was not competitive enough.   I do not think it was running rugby alone that caused their loss.  
The more I see of Kobus van Wyk the more I think he is a great loss to the Stormers.      

 Van Wyk might be a loss, but both Kolbe and Leyds are better, and we have Senatla too. Good thing he's getting game time at the snarks.

 Draad
My problem with the Stormers wings are they are good in attacking play - but especially Leyds is a serious defense liability.   You will see on Saturday how the Chiefs handle the situation , but I think they will concentrate on him as a defensive liability,     

 Mike that is my concern.

 ...Bean Brain they're saying the Stormers played like a NZ team this week...so obviously the game was rigged, yr team played netball ,cheated and had a bent ref in their pocket haha... congrats albeit not much of an achievement anyway given the circumstances..

 Brycy
The Stormers has appointed a Kiwi consultant and he makes a huge difference to their style of play.   The situation is that if the Chiefs plays like they did today - the Stormers will be the favourites in the game next week.
