Wilco Louw who had slightly the better of Ox Nche in a titanic battle….first time in ages Ox didn’t provide a stream of penalties.


Moody who gained 116 metres and beat 6 defenders.


Arendse  who never beat a defender in 6 runs, when last did that happen.


Roos who made 75 metres and beat 7 defenders while making 12 tackles

Wilco has grown into a powerhouse TH. That battle was Classic with Ox. Ox, Marx and Wilco a absolute Monster Combo….Moodie was just short of the line after a magnificent Break. He is flourishing at 14….Manie is also on the up and yet again he played a big role with his magic to lift the Stormers to win….Lekker weekend of Rugby : )

JC Pretorius was a constant thorn in WP's side yesterday ...very handy player in the Deon Fourie mold.

Ja, Arendse was Rock solid on defense but struggled to get the ascendancy. Thought Fassi showed great pace to catch up to him for a try saving tackle. Hooker equally as fast

Wilco Louw should never have left the Bok squad - he is class. I’m guessing his limited all round game counts against him but he is immovable in the scrums and adds plenty of grunt in the engine room. Just as impressive is Gerhard Steenkamp at loosehead and Ruan Vermaak at 4. Elrigh Louw continues to impress as does Papier and David Kriel Roos is such a class player and he has cut out his off the ball nonsense which is growth. Ben Jason Dixon keeps showing why he was invited to the last Bok alignment camp. Big fan of Ruben v Heerden at 5 and Moerat is good at 4 Libbok has such great touches, with Sacha showing his class. Jantjies is playing good rugby again. Stormers threw the 14 man rule out the window yet again. This rule keeps getting exposed for being a load of shit Fassi yet again was class, James Venter and Vincent Tsituka were good, Hooker strong and showed pace catching Arendse. Dylan Richardson made an impression when he came on Horn is quality at fullback for the Lions but is probably too small for test rugby. JC Pretorious is fast moulding himself into our next Kwagga. Emmanuel Tsituka and Horn were good and Jordan Hendrikse added another string to his bow playing really well at 12. He is at home at 10,12 and 15 - great acquisition for the Sharks - muscling up has paid off, he showed good strength at times. vd Bergh was good at 9

Yes Steenekamp is very good…honestly a person can make a strong argument that Gerhard and Wilco must start for the boks… Gerhard is a strong and inform Loosehead that is In better form than Kitsie and the same counts for Wilco over Frans….there is not 1 pack in the whole of the URC that can Dominate the Bulls pack….

The 14 man point effect on results was developed by looking at hundreds of games ….you look at one and use that as an opportunity to protect Erasmus.

So what is the value of a card. Nothing. Who cares if a man goes off, it makes no difference. Might as well infringe near your line…the yellow means nothing. The ABs wouldn’t have scored 2 extra points if they had 15 men on the park.

Cloud Cuckoo land!

Listen you stupid, self-important, dull-witted rugby noob, the All Blacks went down a man because they couldn't cope with the Springboks ferocity. Once Cane was gone, we just needed to manage the game which we did.

The Lions have won two games alone this season while down at least one man and they've lost one when their opponents had the red . . . so stop embarrassing yourself with your laughable rugby ignorance, Rather suck it up and admit you made a gigantic fool of yourself, not just with your hatred of Rassie bu t with your demonizing of the great, the legendary Pieter Steph du Toit.

LMAO!

Must say, I agree 100%...we were all over them in the 1st 30min...we relaxed too much after the red...and our yellow in the last 10 fave them a sniff.

Rubbish you popularity craving old wreck. If NZ made their kicks they beat us…..they had 60% of the territory, they made 100 more metres, beat 37 tackles vs 14 and doubled our clean breaks.

That with 14 men….only a fool would believe they wouldn’t have won with 15.

As for your legendary Dud…,all he contributes is process tackling.  He missed at least 3 clear turnover opportunities in the final. At 30 metres a crack that’s equivalent to 100 missed metres. Hyped up the gazoo.

Created by the media for fools like you to hero worship.

To Moffie: Shut your stupid trap you egg-faced old fool! 

I think pretty much everyone has had enough of your infantile and ignorant garbage. You just carry on feeling all dispirited and unsati sfied by the Springbok RWC victory while the rest of us continue to enjoy it and laugh in your stupid fat face.

LMAO!

I once actually thought you had a modicum of honesty. Claiming that the red card handed to NZ had no effect on the result…..when the difference was 1 point,  is lacking in any integrity. It’s a lie and you know it’s a lie. Don’t question anybody else’s honesty on here…..liar.
