Mostly the Irish thus far.

 

already 10 - 0 to the home team.

 

Stormers scrum failing and Dweba sucks

Jan 25, 2025, 18:18

Stormers scrum on halfway here. 

This is where they need to get a penalty...

 

and they get the penalty...Leinster walking around

 

Manie goes to the corner

 

Attacking lineout now for the Stormers

 

they need a good maul here...but Dweba chucks it over the top...and Leinster knock it on...

 

attacking scrum for the Stormers now about 15m out

Jan 25, 2025, 18:19

Why are all the Saffa teams so KAK

Jan 25, 2025, 18:22

Stormers get the penalty from the scrum...and then they score a well worked one in the corner.

Manie flings an almost no look pass to Galant who gets it to the man in the wing.

And Manie converts from the corner

10-7

Jan 25, 2025, 18:25

Stormers looking a bit better now. 

Manie does a nice jink on the counter run...but then spills one soon after

This ref is a cock.

He's just walking Leinster up the field 

Jan 25, 2025, 18:32

So the ref blows a penalty for Leinster because he rates "affecting foot position"...

So the Stormers guy wasn't stoping the ball coming out. He had rolled away after the tackle...but because his body was in the spot where the scrummie wanted to put his foot...it's a penalty 

Jan 25, 2025, 18:33

Dweba screws up another lineout.

This guy is so shit.

Jan 25, 2025, 18:41

Stormers survive the first half.

with 3 minutes to go...it's still 10-7

Jan 25, 2025, 18:44

Very low quality rugby. 

Eye bleeds 

Jan 25, 2025, 18:48

Dweeb needs to spend less time in the gym and more time practicing line out. 

Can't believe this guy is still number 1 hooker for the Stormers. Can see why Rassie dropped him

Jan 25, 2025, 18:50

Are you seeing the kak ref, King?

Jan 25, 2025, 19:13

Seriously...this game. There is hardly a phase before the ref blows his whistle. 

I despise these refs that think the game is about them 

Jan 25, 2025, 19:29

It's actually too frustrating to watch 

Jan 26, 2025, 08:25

Ja, the reff was kak. Blowing way too soon around the ruck and very one sided. 

That said, I stopped watching and flipped to the sharks game who did a lot better. A few soft tries but was a much better game to watch. 

Can't believe how dumb Dobbo is. No flyhalf on the bench and then trusting Libbok that yet again struggled to play in the cold. Fumbled the ball few times before taking a knock and then deciding to call it a day. 

I want to murder Gelant, this lose pass and throwing the ball at all times not to mention his dumb kicking or deciding to run and step from your 22 and then giving a hospital pass when he had plenty of time to find touch. 

Then, don't get me started on the props. Flab Malherbe pulled from the game and only Fouché as recognised prop on the field. 

2 40 year props in Brok Harris and Andrews. I can't believe that guy is still playing. 

Good news is that Machunu had a really good game for the sharks and heading to the Stormers 

Jan 26, 2025, 09:05

Mchunu is playing much better as of late and he was very good in the loose yesterday. 

He was unlucky that his try was not awarded. Is his move to the stormers a done deal?

I hear rumours of Duhan V D Merwe moving to the stormers to??

Also Cobus Reinach??

Jan 26, 2025, 10:20

Ja, Reinach will be 35, so don't think it is the right move, but maybe can add value. 

Machunu scrimmage is a real problem and he got destroyed against the french teams, but his play yesterday was phenomenal. I like how the sharks are using him and the fact that he bust a tackle and then got a pass away for Bongi to power over. 

They played really well and he has such explosive power. We hardly see props like this now a days that can break open tackles. I remember Coenie Oosthuizen and Os being two props that could run with the ball like that. Os was still my favourite of all time and the pace that guy had. Best was when he carried 6 wallabies on his back and scored a try

Dobbin loose rugby is coming back to bite him. Still think he needs to almost have two different teams. One that is physical, direct and can play a great tactical game. 

Then, when they are home and on the hard dry fields and when it is hot, bring in the likes of Libbok and Gelant etc. 

But 40% of our games are played in Europe. So the stormers need to get that physicality back 

Jan 26, 2025, 11:18

Exactly King...Mchuna was murdered against the French. Scrumming is what he is kid for. It doesn't help if you are good at your secondary role but abysmal at the primary. The primary role is called that for a reason.

We need to stop looking at games against shyte teams.

 

If a prop can dominate against the top Irish and French sides then he's Bok worthy. If he can't then he's not.

That was a piss poor performance by the Stormers - apart from Shenan, RG, Jordie and Lowe that was a Leinster B side 

The Stormers are a half baked side - their squad balance is fucked - they have loads of exciting backs but no way to play them together when they are all fit 

They have no centres and their props are a shit show. When you are still relying on the 38 year old Brok Harris you know you are desperate. Ali Vermaak, Sithole, Harris are all shit, Fouche is average 

They were meant to have Kitshoff and Malherbe but that’s fallen flat
