Moz,  the union  is done. Newlands will be sold, someone will get lots of money and someone else will redeem.

Terrible implications for the area. The campus comprised of Newlands Cricket and Rugby grounds combined with Kelvin Grove (for the parking not the food) worked really well. I had cricket tickets for years and it was so pleasant popping in for a session. Will any of it survive......places I remember though some have changed, some for ever....none for better!

Welcome back to the hapless JW!!!  Your ignorance has been missed. Hahahahahahahaha

The hapless Stormers were an embarrassment to Beeno!

The heroes of the Bulls team actually are the coachvng staff. The Bulle looked like professionals who knew what they were dong. Pollard was superb, They had bit of creativity and a superb defence. So what can one say about the Stormers and vs there any hope. The pack wasn't to bad once they sorted the lineouts. The additions to the match 23 of Kitshoff, Malherbe, Etzebeth Wiese and that young eight man whose names escapes me right now will ensure the Stormers have a more than adequate pack. Eben is a key player for sure.

Bongi was poor throwing in and pretty nondescript generally. Moerat - noways is he ready for Super rugby. Notche was out of his depth. Louw is a huge lump of lard

Vermaaak is loafing and playing purely as a link despite having a fair turn of speed. No place for loafers. Willemse was poor as well and Du Plessis doesn't look to be the player he was before injury but time will tell. They need to give Willemse a run in one position.

Then we have Nel and JJ who contributed zero.

But above all fleck was again exposed as an incompetent. The Bulle have a real rugby man in Pote Human. Very impressed at he alertness of the Bulle their controlled passion, organization and skills.

The Stormers looked like a poorly coached side who had very little creativity on attack .

So the Stormers season will depend on having their best side on the park and a vast improvement in the backline.

Oh Beeno is still on the site... well one must be tolerant I guess

I agree Pollard is doing very well, he had some superb plays, e.g. the Kick to Kriel. Some of us predicted his return to great form after his injuries but some were very tough on him and not patient. He's a class player.


As for the weee stormers.... one must be kind so... well the did figure out how to put their uniforms on correctly

'Veteran Vermeulen delivering a thunderous performance at No 8 was an especially bitter pill for the visitors to swallow, as he tore into several opponents who were accustomed to having him as a hard-nosed team-mate at varying stages between 2009 and 2015. He provided the special brand of go-forward for which he has long been famed, and only reminded of his status as a key cog in the Springbok plans for RWC 2019 later in the year.' ... From Houwing.
