The tree pronged crusties plan

the crusties truw=e to nz underhand traditiosn harched aa subtle and elaborate plan to down the Stormers. The only thinkg they probably hd no hand in is the injuries to bekker and Etzebeth which were a big blow to the Stormers.

irstly they planned to chip the ball in behind the Stormers and profit therebye. A ligitimate plan but one that failed totally.

Next came a pan of breathtking arrogance. Turn the Stormers defensive efforts against them. Blow them up for offisedes where possible or not possible. Do not show any replays unless call is genuine. Make sure commenttors bleat yes tha twas offside.. With no replays who could contest thisi

At the same time do not blow for crusader of fsides or enetering from the side - a number ofsuch cases were mentioned b ythe new zealand commentators in their efforts to cover their tracks.

So after a couple of seasons being reffre dal by many reffs suddenly the Stormewrs were oof sides al lthe time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They all workd together as a team to ensure the plans success. A classic example of this was the hands in ruck by Franks that led to the crusties solitary try. The ball squirted back from the Stormers side ofthe ruck which in itslef begs the question. I saw  it with no problem but of course the ref did not. Neither did the touch judges of course or even the commentators. We had to wait till half time when Naas replayed it and showed the blantant out in the open hands in ruck!! (Naas being was weak kneed showed little indignation. No lamenting the ref, the touch judge the commentators etc. and calling to  account). However in contrast note how the sharp the nz commentators were in picking up a knock forward by Joe, much quicker and more difficult to spot.

With the game in the balance the third art o fthe plan was to send off a Stormers player for iligitimate reasons 13 minutes from the end giving the stormer spractically no chance t ohit pack. Elstadt went off .

Then there were other incidents such as Deon Fouries standing over the ball nad being penalise dwhen as the nz commentators correctly said the penalt ywss fo rus - 3 points to crusties. Or when Jean was trapped under a heap of bodies and was pinged for not moving away - a decision though unreasonble by the nz commentators.

Frankly another dismal ref performance from nz. Steve Walsh I heard also had a shocker.

Is it not time for nzrefs to be banned from the super 15 comp? Surel ythey hav eproved totally im=ncompetent and biased. Bl nz ref of the year - Bwahahahahahahahhahahahahaha  - dropped from the IRB  elite ref panel (and now nowhere to be seen in the Super 15 comp?)

Well a Stormers match 22 without Bekker, Etzebeth, Burger, Kostner and Aplon and a bent ref to boot lost by 6 points. If ever there was a moral victory it was this one!!

I call on all SA rugby supporters not to lose their sense of outrage at the down under refs even if we have had to put up with their nonsese for many decades. Dont be like naas botha and just accept this rubbish.

In contrast notice how scrupulously fair Kaplan was to the chiefies. I fact an error by Kaplan favouring the chiefies (the brussouw incident late in the match) led to the chiefies winning the match.

What happened Bean Brain. Kiwis kick your butt again LMAO. What did you expect a miracle or something. Just as well your precious Stormers has an easy run from here on in. Chiefs will have to beat the Bulls, Hurricanes, Highlanders and Crusaders . How do you rate their chances Bean Brain coz you know I hang on to your every word..

brycy I am quite sure you do hang on my every word. Given their lack of warrior spirit the chiefies should beat the hurricanes but probably not much more.

The chiefies were bigger in the backline and the pack than the Cheetahs but the Cheetahs had more fight in them and should in the end have at least drawn the game. Chiefs will fold when they meet a power pack. They lack th warrior spirit.

What a great pity the Cheetahs didn't start with Goosen, Johnston and have Adriaan Strauss fit. Cant but think they would have won.

Now tell me what you think. 

As I have said for a long time the Stormers are in with a shout provided they have fair refs and injuries are limited.

Anyone will have realised given these two requirements we are better than the crusaders.   Hope we meet again at full strength and a decent ref. Does even one exist in nz? Bwahahahahahaha  - its time to ban all kiwi refs.

Ex Supersport

The Stormers started the second half strongly, and a 43rd minute penalty saw the Crusaders lead cut to just three points before Taylor restored the six point buffer a few minutes later. But the Stormers were getting stronger, perhaps sensing that jetlag might catch the Crusaders later in the game, and they started putting together impressive multi-phase attacks.

One of those netted the Stormers perhaps their best try of the season so far, certainly from the viewpoint of a try actually being created by them, with the Stormers simply refusing to give up possession after capitalising on a poor kick from Israel Dagg, with a well weighted kick into the corner eventually sitting up perfectly for Bryan Habana.

The Springbok wing had used his pace a little earlier to get back and prevent what looked an almost certain Crusaders try as Dagg chased the ball towards the tryline, and certainly now looks to be back to his best form. Pietersen’s difficult conversion would have put the Stormers into the lead with 20 minutes to go had he landed it, but he pushed the ball wide.

Then came the ridiculous yellow carding of Elstadt and although the Crusaders looked tired there was always only going to be one winner once it was 15 men against 14 and the Stormers lost their momentum.

There was absolutely no ways the crusties would ahve won bent ref and all but for those injuries to our two locks. The timing of te yellow was also impeccable given the ywere about to lose the match. An adavanced course in how to burgle a match all in all.
