Venter scores earlier after Roos drops a kick-off and then Venter gets KO's at the next kick off as MoerKat headbutts him in the tackle.
Edit: Actually, it wasn't Venter, it was Notnagel(spelling)
Leeutjies came to play today.
Holding the Stormers up in midfield and winning a scrum.
Where is Sacha?
Play it again Sam.
lol the lions scrum is about 90kgs heavier than the Stormer's pack ...skinny coastal girls
Lions Seemed to have begun to want to use Venter correctly and giving him the ball at pace.
If Roos is a specimen, Venter is his daddy.
20 minutes gone and all 10 the Lions points are the result of Roos errors.
Galant is still the biggest waste of a 15 jersey in SA.
Big scrum to the Lions just inside their half...
They win the penalty and kick to the 22 for a lineout. Venter knocks it in the ruck.
Stormers are being muscled badly up front and Venter making mincemeat of anyone that tries tackling him.
Stormers hinging at the scrum and the ref apparently doesn't notice...
...and now Galant passes one over the top to put the Stompies in at the corner.
I still think he sucks.
Roos, yet again fluffs the kick-off recovery and the Stormers under pressure on their line
Lions with a 5m lineout...they get cute and knock it on
Stompies not setting the world alight today...
Phew, the Stormers being let off here as the Lions batter their line and SJ drops the ball right on the line.
Schalk can't stop talking about Venter and how dominant he is.
5 carries for 30m.
As I said last season, set him up to run the ball and you'll see results.
Morne VDB wastes some possession now with a useless kick that Zas marks and then clears 22 to 22.
Stormers have a chance to level the score as Reinach buys a penalty pretending to trip over Venter behind the ruck
Venter looking good……great tackle there to stop a break. Morning Plum
10-10
Pretty even half but the Leeus made more chances and are leading possession and territory.
Quan Horn really is a quality little player. So reliable and such good awareness of when to attack and when to preserve possession.
Venter powers over….next Bok 7?
And Venter muscles his way over and scores....
One the one hand Roos has been called off taking kick offs and on the other Venter us dominating collisions, making big tackles and scoring tries.
Hiya Moz
Venter is a beast huh, Moz?
198cm and 120kgs
Damn, I can't watch...struggling for a proper feed on the phone...well dome Lions so far...they definitely pitched up for the game...come on Stormers!!!
Heavy Lions pack have a definite edge. Can they last the 80 minutes.
Bring on Schickerling and Dixon immediately. Moerat over hyped.
Backs missing Willemse, Sacha and Nel.
Like the look of Maart. Excellent excelleration.
Roos is better suited to a loser role. Maybe try him as a 6. He is trying to play as a 7.
The tactical kicking of Reinach has been very poor. He seems to be just going through the motions.
Roos is trying to play how Venter can play.
Agree, Beeno, Roos' strength is having a bit of space and supporting breaks.
Great start to second half!!
17 all.
Very lucky try for the Stompies after they make a defensive clanger and allow the ball to bounce...and it bounces backwards nicely for Reinach to collect.
17-17
Game on
Hi there Plumster, glad to see you having some clarity of thought today!!!!
What a clearance from Horn after VD Berg shows the forwards how to Jackal
Faf 2.0
Stompies with the Dom Squad coming on haha
On comes the Mighty Stormers bomb squad.
A nervous laugh from Plumster.
Whaddup my dudes. Will check some of the second half with you.
See that Stormers scrum Plumpster.
Where's Sacha?
Phew, the Lions just about surviving that scrum.
Another scrum now...penalty coming for the Stormers...
Yep...penalty advantage.
Ntlabakanya needs to come off now cos he's gonna get owned from here on out.
Yo Paks...
Sacha is watching from the stands and affirming what we already know...he carries any team he plays for.
Reinach out there at 35 on a summer’s day, probably playing his best rugby….not my favorite player but great longevity.
Stompies getting momentum now
Yep, Stormers over with the mail.
Lions need to make some subs, quickly.
Stormers maul looking good.
Obviously Plumster, the better forwards were mostly on the bench. The dumb squad bwahahahahaha.
Look and learn Plumpster!
Jurie slapping that goal kick like it was yo mama's rear end.
