Stormers/Chiefs live thread

Formidable Chiefs team....tough ask

 I started a thread on this at the same time you did Moz. Let's use yours.

 Kicking dual right now

Etzebeth easily covers McKenzie testing the outside gap

 Stormers grinding it out but Chiefs want to play the territory game.

Sorry I also missed yours......Some change for the Stormers, beaten by the counter ruck.

Certainly seems more like play off rugby. Less risks by most teams so far. 

Good tackle by Stephanie leads to turnover....Bongi spills, has also blown the lineout throw.

Tackle in the air thing again....NZ obviously well schooled by the Lions.

 I thought he was offside when he made the tackle anyway.

 Bit of a chess game so far. Hope it's not all penalties as both team have some real talent in the backs.

 3 points to the wee stormers. Time for some tries.

Etzebeth lobs the ball back at Louw...clever tit for silly tat.

Malherbe crushed....overrated fat man

 Very strong scrum by Chiefs!

 All tied up at 3. Chiefs are playing well within themselves, not going crazy throwing the pill around... not yet anyway

Ancient Donald rips past Stephanie.

 McKenzie lands another penalty kick. 6-3 to Chiefs.

 Donald with another good run. They may be trying to make him run out of gas.

Donald gasses Fat Viljoen

 A lot of penalties against the stormers down inside the 22. Wee Beeno used to protest this when was a kiwi team but he is strangely silent now

Jaco hands out a warning...Stormers in the cross hairs of the martinet.

 9-3 to Chiefs. Game should open up in the second half.

Rettallik dive bombing the Stormers scrum

Etzebeth man handles McKenzie....lots of kicking of feet in the air. A bit embarrassing.

Willemse looking a bit green as the pace lifts.

Stormers recycling at the rucks before Kolisi scoring is looking at bit like the Lions/Bok rugby

Fat Viljoen cant get round the Chiefs number 2....gets another chance and offloads to Kolisi......Marais misses the conversion.

 Not so sure that was a penalty against the Chiefs for that scrum. Chiefs had won the ball before the collapse.

Momentum killing knock by Stephanie

 PSDT giving Moz a lot of ammunition. 

Malherbe hand his hands on the ground first

 Oops

 Don't tell me that is going to be called a dangerous tackle

 Damn TMO, don't let this ruin the game.

Jaco getting this wrong....no different to the SBW incident

 Donald is out of the game with a head hit. Chiefs will have to hang on for 10 mins.

Fattie Malherbe takes to the air after a big illegal hit.....Donald crushed by Etzebeth.....Stormers within 1.

 1 point game. That yellow card may be the story of this game. Chiefs will have to open the flood gates if they get behind.

Finally he calls the skew throw
