Stormers vs Sharks chit chat if anyone cares

Well one more kickoff.

I feel a bit hard done by. All the ref's decisions went the Stompies way and the winning try came from someone who shouldn't have been on the pitch.

Oh well, well done Stompies.

The quality of rugby was crap but it was a nailbiter.

LOL, Manie almost knocks it.

Mighty Stormers stomp out the challenge of da frot vis. 

It shouldn't have been this close. 

Thankfully Manie did better in the second half.

Stat s show Mighty Stormers were the better side. 

Oh Rooitwitterbug whining about the ref again. Hahahahaha. 

The guppies were outplayed plain and simple. 

All we need now is for ou Maaik to come tell us how much better the Sharks backline functioned once Esterhuizen went off and then we can conclude today's activities .

Congrats to Malherbe who neutralized Ox. Vital contribution. 

AE never did much. He was up against an injured Sascha as well.

No our resident dreamers will imagine AE going off was a big turning point. They have become victims of their own propaganda. 

Thanks ou Jinxer!!!...Lekke Manie...sorry I missed the game...Eben did not play?

"Oh Rooitwitterbug whining about the ref again. Hahahahaha."

Yes, funny indeed...hilarious...I'm sure the joke is lost on him.

Check JLDP's cleanout on AE, Draad. He wasn't targeting anything but the leg. It caused a match ending injury and should have been carded.

One incident...or a few..doesn't  matter...Yes Pakie, I've under no illusion. There might have been some bad calls, even some biased calls, but given Rooi's history, it's FAF that he even dares to mention it...glad my team won...Snarks is  a valuable scalp.

WP jou lekker ding .................. suck it up guppies

Good to see Manie having the last laugh and silencing the circus crew

After not being able to put anything between the uprights from more than 15m away and his channel being a saloon door for anyone who ran at him all game long? Even Jordan ran through him for the Sharks' last try.

Julius is no Danie Gerber. Not even close.

Manie did better in the second half but confirmed once again he is no Bok flyhalf. His goal kicking is just too erratic. His defence is too weak for flyhalf where a player has to make tackles against big forwards, He does not control a game like a Pollard. Try the M anie on the wing?

Sascha should be the Stormers flyhalf. 

Bye the way Pakster everyone cares when the S tormers are playing.

"Bye the way Pakster everyone cares when the Stormers are playing."

This is why I love you, Beeno! 

Ja, Manie had his chance. It's time to invest in someone who is actually showing all the sings of being a superstar and has the personality, and brain, to captain the Boks from 10 for a long time. 

I despise the fact that Dob played him at 12 the last couple of weeks. He has to sit on the side and watch Manie miss tackles and kicks. As i mentioned earlier, it's an ego thing..."Look at what a nice coach I am to keep showing faith in Manie." It's actually a bit cringe, if I'm honest.

I'm still thinking Moodie for Bok 13 because he's shown both at the Bulls and the Boks that he has the quality and composure. Julius has some evolving and a bit of hardening up to do before I'd want him tarting important games for the Boks.

It's the forwards I'm worried about. N obody other than Hannekom seems to be really holding their hand up in the forwards the way that Fassie, SFM, Henco and few others are in the backs. 

Fassi has easily been the best SA player this year. It's not even close. He's gonna be offered a lot of money from France soon. 

Rassie did a lot of experimenting this year. More than anybody else. Come 2025, which is gonna be a much tougher year, he's gonna have to do a lot less tinkering and actually put whatever he learned from 2024 into action. The ABs are on the up and up, and apparently so are Australia, so the RC won't be a cakewalk like it was in 2024. They're likely gonna play both Ireland and France away from home too...
