The best lock in the world forces a penalty in the ruck.
Congrats to the mighty Chiefs! Looks like the wee stormers put out an effort of sorts so good on them for that... I guess.

Stormers to many errors too imprecise. Pack Misses Eben and Schickerling. Play Du Toit at 7 and van Wyk as eighthman. Stormers pack have too many flimsy players
Looked to me Stormers were too keen and became too frentic. Some guys are just not up to it. Samuels and Notche come to mind. Need an outside center for one .
Cant understand the Kitshoff sub at such a crucial time and ditto Willemse

Retallack must surely be New Zealand's best lock in the professional era. Ian Jones was good, but Retallack has more physicality. He is, without doubt, the best lock in world rugby. He does all the physical stuff required for a lock but is also a thinking player that reads the game very well- with a high work rate.
This has the physicality of an Eztebeth, but much better work rate and consistency .

So the Stormers think they can take on Chefs with the likes of Samules, Van Zyl, Notche and Kolsi.
A case can be made for Kolisi if you have dominant pack.
Mallet saying Ref penalised Kitshof unfairly and it left a bad taste. Hoped John Reason continues hi s expose of all this.

Jaws a a very smart player. There was one poor scrum penalty....right at the half. There isn't enough weight in the Stormers pack I agree. Stephanie is not a flank.
Five turnovers by Allende/JJ, several in try scoring positions, were key.

Hi Wardad, the Rebs won it I believe . SAs should knotch up a win as the Bulls play the Sharks. Will be interesting to see if the Bulls keep improving.

Having seen both Jones and Retallick up close I would take Retallick .Jones was fabulous in his day but all things being equal Retallick is just immense in both size and ability. and is the man for the professional era
