Stormers is making hard work of La Rochelle

9-13 after 45min

poor reffing...9-18

9-20

Willemse footpass to Ben Loader...14-20!!!

Manie misses from the sideline...

Stormers' confidence seems to be building...not a particular hot December day in CT, but not the Frog winter either.

GO BOYS!!!

Maaik, where is Frans?

Well that miss from the sideline for Manie must have been his first I guess.

Trust he has more success after the RWC performance.

Have no clue about it.  He may be in  Still Bay with his parents.    

Well AJ, he slotted the difficult one when it counted...what a match!!!...Stormers burgled this one...

Terrific pressure kick by Manie, not a great performance though…he is overdoing the cross kicks and he threw an awful pass behind Zas with the goal line open with a minute to go.

Galant seems to botch anything he touches these days. Roos had another mixed game as well.

But the pack did well against the big Frog pack and Zas is increasingly productive. Looks to have Bok potential.

Zas has the goods, but the incumbents are an almost impossible act to follow...

Bools doing well away  s Lyon...17-21.

Bools just missed it with 1 point!

Jislaaik ................. come back Paki asb.

Draad keep your day job, your match reports are sadly substandard.

SHaaks vs Cheaters up next...Challenge cup.

Old man Pienaar...@40, still keeping up with the young guns...

5-0

Eben scores 7-5!!

7-7

Good win for the Cheetahs...Snarks hust can't find any rhythm .

Tx Draad ............. you're doing well.

Public supporting this summertime rugby?

Stadium was a bit empty Saturday...I'm gonna try catching a Stellies match sometime, seems to be a good vibe there ...the Bools match in CT should be well supported.

Zas can fill Mapimpi's boots easily...I always rated him, but it's gonna be difficult getting into this Bok team....Arendse, Kolbe, Moody...we've got good wings, but I think Zas brings a bit more physicality than the others.
