Stompies vs French Fancy boys La Rochelle

Academy against stormers

Moerat sien sy gat, moerse tackle.

What a wet piece samosa, getting creamed by a standard tackle and then rolls around like a pap snoek in the floor trying to milk it. How on earth is he a Springbok

Stormers losing momentum now and letting the frogs back in

Zulu boy showing he is human, kicks ball out on full. Stompers making silly mistakes, mistiming the sack and conceding a penalty

Stormers turns over ball, but struggles to exit

Two bricks De Villiers winning much needed turn over penalty on the ground

Good barn storming try off a line out maul from venter

Frenchies score try after endless line assault. Stormers dropping intensity

Wow, play of the season, frenzies turns the ball, attack up the side from their 22 , Stormers turns the ball over on their 22, reinach takes a quick tap penalty, finds Sasha , break the line up the middle and back hand pass to the winger that sprints all the way to score a try under the post

In the end the Stormers beat La Rochelle 42-21 with De Villiers the MOM. Why is this loosie not in teh Springbok team?

Great win by the Mighty Stormers.

Stormers make some silly mistakes but also play very enterprising rugby

Add Wilco Louw and Willemse into the match 23 and you have a very good side

Paul De Villiers man of tbe march. Gutsy very smart 6.

SACHA is a magician.

Now let's hope the wee guppies can win for a change!

After 2 matches the Stormers are top of the Log in their pool witth a PD of 30 points/

In Rund 3 the Stormers are playing Harelequens away and in Round 4 Leicester at home

Bsed on performnces thus far it should be easy wins b the S tomers,

Well done Stormers!

"with De Villiers the POM."

Don’t think he will be happy being called a Pom, Uncle:)

Whoop whoop, if this is how we play when Sacha has an off day!@@

I look forward to Wilco and Willemse joining the team.

Members please help. I refer to the disallowed try scored by the Dixon in the first half of the match. Can somebody please explain why the try was disallowed,

A earlier infringement, a forward Pass, in the lead up to Dixon‘s try, was apparently the reason the try being disallowed.

Could not be the reasoon since the Stormers got a scrum on that mistake of the La Rochelle team and if they made a forward pass the scrum would have been awarded to the French team. The ref allowed to attack of the Stormers to continue. Fact is the ref wanted to award the try and iwas stopped by the TV monitor, If the scrum was awarded to La Rochelle I can understand what happened - but it was not.

Stormers 8 from 8 this season. Sport is a funny old thing, just last season there was people calling for Dobson's head.

Indeed, must say, they surprised me this season...we were "lucky" a few times...something special going on ...the results are better than the sum of the parts...

"Stormers 8 from 8 this season. Sport is a funny old thing, just last season there was people calling for Dobson's head."

Yes, because he was allowing the Galant syndrome to take over. I dislike Galant even more than DDA. Guy annoys the crap out of me.

But with Sacha featuring more, Galant gets less opportunity throw games with his idiotic play.

Anyone calling for Dobson‘s head, respectfully, doesn’t know what they talking about.

I have said this before: he is the only SA coach that has brought us URC Gold.

Go Stormers!

All part of the magic...irritates the fck out of me when it flops, but it's responsibe for the success.

I got that info from a Facebook Article, Uncle.

This is what Supersport said happened: "The Stormers made it look so easy in sending in first Ben-Jason Dixon and then the other flanker Paul de Villiers for tries that were subsequently chalked off.

The first was for a foot in touch at the start of the attack that saw Dixon go in, and the second was for a teammate being marginally ahead of De Villiers as he drove over after the attack had been set by a driving maul."

Mpower

I realized that the De Vuiliers on was doubtful - but the Dixon one was B S supreme, If there was a fault during the attack then a scrium should have been called if it was the Stormers fault - but it was not the fault was made by La Rochelle and the Soprmer should be givn the benefit - since there were no indcatiopn that a scrum has to be formed during the attack.

Yes Uncle, a lot of Ref & TMO calls are total BS, but we still won handsomely yesterday.

Ref was clearly compromised...lots of BS scrum penalties against us...

May b ta case wher the refs were read he riot ac during halfime - becayuse after half time the reffing did not reproduced.
