Let's hope the Stompies can put something good together.


Sacha back at 10...


Willemse on the wing again because he's apparently not a better 15 than Gelant.


I'm already annoyed

Ref doesn't look like he wants to give the Stormers reward at scrum time

Good intent from Connacht, the opt for the corner instead of 3...maul...maul stuffed...plenty of phases and they're looking at a potential try in the corner

See, in this situation...how is it not possible that with all the technology available we can't see both angles together!?

I mean he literally says we have no clear evidence of him being in touch from this angle like why dont they just show both angles at the same time on the same clock so you can see what part of him is in touch when the ball goes down they've got two perfect angles there show them together

Nice try Stompies...they passed backwards and backwards and backwards all the way to the Connacht 10m until eventually Scarra puts Roos away for the try

I like the intent from the Stormers though. They look like they came to play a bit...even though it looks loose as hell

Roos has quite a strike rate for an 8. An anomaly that would suggest he can be better employed elsewhere.

Sacha kicks it into the corner from just outside Con 22. Is that really the play?

And the Con counter ruck wins it. Con 15 seems to be flapping his mouth an awful lot, first an altercation with Willemse, now with Nel.
