Stompies vs Cardies

thats the half...

End of an average half. Few soft tries to the Stormers. Red card for Cardiff.

How is there not a shot clock in that stadium?

"How is there not a shot clock in that stadium?"

Good question. I don't know.

Hartzenberg scores off a Manie cross kick. The shot clock starts as soon as the try is scored? Didn't know that.

Good support play from Cardiff as they run almost the length of the field but it goes out 5m short and the Stompies have the lineout.

Paul de Wet on to replace Jantjies. Things could go south here . . .

24-12

Sacha is about to come on. Not sure who he's replacing?

It's Libbok coming off. Connor Evans also replaces Moerat.

Great breakout by the Stormers until De Wet drops the ball into nomansland.

Some pretty messy rugby out there now.

Good handling from Cardiff and Millard is in to score.

Sheedy's conversion is just wide so it's 24-17.

Great try Cardiff. Hamer-Webb drawing in 2 to leave Millard open outside.

Hang on . . . that last pass may have been forward . . . but the conversion has already been taken? Not sure what they're looking at here . . . could be a late no arms tackle by Damian Willemse . . .

Please don't tell me they're going to cancel the try over that unrelated obstruction.

Pass is fine.

This does nothing good for the game. Instead of a try we now have to sit and watch endless replays.

Some simulation from Simelane but that's not the tackle they're looking at. Think Willemse will get a yellow here . . . no, it's red. This will finish 14 vs 14.

What the fuck is going on? Make a decision and get on with it you stupid twats.

Now it's the Stormers with some good handling . . . they're just short . . . Sacha nearly cuts through . . . they have advantage . . . it breaks down and the Stompies have a penalty bang in front.

De Wet chooses not to release to Louw who would have been over.

De Wet is useless. As bad as Jayden.

Stormers really fluffed that scrum ball but they can still do something from here.

A Sacha backhand pass goes way off target.

Ref might as well just give a free kick instead of a scrum. They've just been a waste of time in this game.

Another scrum penalty. For the love of god take a tap and don't scrum again.

They scrum again. Jesus wept.

Scrum eventually completes and De Wet throws a wild pass to Zas who knocks on.

Theunissen breaks, feeds De Wet who offloads via the ground to Zas who can't gather.

Which means another scrum.

Two in a row completed. Happy days.

Bit of a shapeless to and fro going on now that ends with Cardiff finding touch on the Stormers 22.

Good rip by Sacha gets the Stormers possession.

Connor Evans is over after a good take in the air by Sacha. That should be the game.

LOL, the game has lost all shape. One team offloading to the other then popping it back again.

And then the try comes as Sacha picks up the rebound off his high kick and feeds Evans.

31-17

Jeez, Schickerling's got some toe.
