If you make handling errors like the Stormers did this morning - there is only one thing that could happen to them - they shall get punished and punished badly. Every try of the Chiefs came from a handling error made by the Stormers - they have only themselves to blame for that.

Mike the Stormers were poor in the first half. But they came back quite nicely and came within 4 points. Forget about that last try it was just what so often happens when a side tries to force the issue.
I think at full s trength the Stormers could yet surprise.

Beeno, that was a full strength stormers side except for Estebeth. The chiefs just seem to get over the advantage line at ease. Carr finally put up his hand and made a decent impact of the bench. Jean was piss poor all game.
The stormers had a good patch for about 30 min in the second half, it just shows you that Catrikillis is not up to Super Rugby standard. I hope they start with Grant from now onwards.
Just hope the stormers can win the last two games and come home with some points in the bag and hope they pull it together at newlands. At least the tour will be out of the way.

Mot really the top side of the Stormers - they were without both Etrzzebeth and Malherbe - who makes a huge difference in the tight 5. The also did the impossible and brought Schreuder on in place of Groom.
Where I agree with you Catrakillis was only slightly better than Jantjies was last year. Personally I think they should start with Grant and only in an emergency bring on Catrakillis and never ever bring on Schreuder.
