Pretty hard to stop a number 8 ….2 metres out when he has some momentum

Now Sacha makes an unforced error and spills it forward.

Galant has to lose at least 50m in a half else it's like he wasn't on the field.

Connacht just keep coming. Try Jennings. If the conversion is good then the scores are level at half time . . . and as good as the Stompies have been at times. you'd have to say it's a fair reflection.


Good game so far. Conversion missed. 26-24 at half time.

Both the Sharks and the Stormers simply don’t have the line speed to make the rush defense work….

Should be a good second half.

The usual stuff from Connacht, good attack, can't defend to save their lives. Stormers seem much the same.

Stompies lay siege to the Connacht line but they can't get over. It is a yellow card for Connacht though as Forde is binned.

I’m missing Dud Allende. Actually the match up I’d love to see is Dud Allende vs Esterhozen. In the old days that would have happened in a Trials match.

Galant syndrome strikes again.


And this might be a penalty try too...luckily not


So Galant has not cost the Stormers a try from his direct kick to touch and now he's put them under pressure with the yellow

Deon Fourie off after just coming on. Stompies have no more forwards so Loader replaces him.

Connacht are the next team to score after sustained pressure. If the conversion is good then the scores are level. It's off the upright. 31-29 to the Stompies who still have 6 minutes to survive with 14 men.
