Stormers vs Bulls live chat

Second local daaahby. Stormers probably favourites at home.

Early counter ruck success for the Bulls.

Okay first dcrum

Iffy start for Zulu, wayward pass and now a hoist straight into touch.

Amazing how the SA props handle the Bok front rowers

Big hits coming in from the Bulls.

Bunch of the best forwards I Weldon display here...and it shows

Zulu easily beats Kriel.

Jirre Sacha!

Playing against Sacha must destroy one's nerves

What a pass Sacha. And now he kicks straight out again. Been a mixed bag.

Papier down the blind, support too slow to get fatal momentum though.

That backing up and quick offload Nortje just did...those are the things you NEVER see PSDT doing.

Bulls going blind and into touch. Probably not the best option.

The ref just apologized, there’s a furt..er first

Lots of pressure on the Stompies now...this Bulls pack is savage

Seb with a superb take.

Roos trying to be Wiese

Second time Marco had lost the ball in the ruck/tackle

We really should be allowed to play a Bok B team as well….so much talent

Rudolph manhandling Slaapman.

Sacha now with a great take.

Notice Nortje trying hard to make a Jackal….I thought giraffes don’t.

LOL, Gelant hands the ball to the Bulls in the tackle. This guy remains the opposition's best player.

So far neither side able to put much together without dropping the ball. Springbok studded lineups, pretty amateur play.

Papier try? Knee into touch and ball grounded virtually at the same time. Jeez that's tight, no try probably the fair call.

for me, no try

Fat Knees will get you every time…bit of a shame

It's not just actually jacking and winning the ball but the pressure is often enough to create a result.

Something Davie doesn't understand

Oupa Willie bumps off Simelane. Another penalty. Very stop start stuff.

I'm a big Cobus Wiese fan.

He so the real deal

Now Wilco drops the pass. Amateur hour. 20 minutes gone and barely any rugby played.

Yes Plum trying is better than bottling out, something both our Bok flanks do.

Vermaak's injury looks bad. He had a look of "this will take a while to heal" on his face

Great cleanout by Sacha on Kriel keeps the Stormers attack going. Ends with Willemse kicking the worst droppie of 2026 so far. Pollard boots the dropout straight out. Error rate in this game is nuts.

Stompies gaining ground though al then stop start...

Lol Willemse tries a droppie.

Gosh, not a great 1st half

Some pressure there on the Bulls scrum from the Stormers. Reset.

Boy that looked like the Stormers tighthead dominated

Reinach's break ends in an offload going to ground. One must feign surprise at this point.

Big scrim on the Bulls 22 now...

My money is on Wilco

reset

Stomoies get it out but fumble
