Tigers face the Storm

Roos receiving at 12 again. Stormers spill it.

Forward pass Tigers not called.

Roos with the turnover penalty after a fine tackle by BJ. This is shaping into a fine loose trio for the Stormers.

Roche is Solid in midfield, massive tackle, roos over the ball and penalty

Ungerer off after a fine game.

Stormers dominating at scrumtime.

Meh, Sacha may be in trouble for an elbow while handing off. Yellow card. That could be big.

WTF, yellow for Sasha trying to fend off a player. F'ing TMO

Tigers immediately into top gear as they look to take advantage. The 12 kicks it away fortunately.

Great turnover Stormers, didn't see who it was. Schikerling runs it in. Whoever got that turnover has to get credit for that among others. 29-21

Amazing try by Schekeling, dummy and takes the inside line

Stormers 8 points clear, 29 - 21

Stormers defense has settled well now, very little space for the Tigers.

Raining, all of sudden handling becoming difficult

Strong rain coming down now.

32-21

Chargedown and Tigers score. The boxie fails again. I was about to say I don't think Tigers can come back here and then this. No conversion, 32-26. Converted try needed.

Charge down, lumping tigers lock scores , poor clearance

6 point game now, 5 min to go. Zulu boy back. Need to pin Leicester

Scrum Tiges, Tigers up and under and knocks on. Stormers need to keep their heads now

Jakkals de Villiers gets MOTM.

Khan scrummy is kak. Gets great Stormers scrum and then runs off shoulder. Makes meters, then bottles it by trying to grubber

Yeah that was a kak grubber attempt.

Scrum penalty Stormers. They should close out from here.

This was a good contest. Stormers dominated at the right time, sorted their leaky first half defense and pulled it through. Khan scores and denies the Tigers a losing bonus point.

39-26. Good game.

Great game. Hartzenberg is over rated. Slipped a lot of tackles.

Stormers Will get home game in Last 16.

Score doesn't reflect the real game.

The rain in the final quarter helped the Stormers. Very slippery under foot and killed any running rugby or accuracy for Tigers

And Paul De Villiers man of the match. again!!!!

What a player. Must be in the bok team to replace Kwotalisi.

Is he still playing?

Great effort from the team. Pity about that charge down try the Tigers got.

Scrum in complete control in second half.

Simikane an improvement on Gelant.

Two scrummie did well.

Not really imprsessed by the Stormers in view if the multiole handling errors and defense cost them points/

Howevcer, a bonus point win remains a bonus point win,

I'll take that.

Slippery ball Mike. Damp rainy conditions.

See we are second on our pool log Draad.

If Quins get 2 points vs LaRochel tomorrow they will overtake us.

Maybe I was a noy hatsh, Based on perfromances. Do some reasons the Stormers send a very weak team to with 4 newboes to play against Harlequins lat week and realzed the eam will need to concentrate on Leicester this week. Be it as it may leicester as by some b dstance th e strongest team SA sides played against.

BY the way - what was the best Stormers try today? My vote goes to schickerling - the dummy he used to beat defemders was for a forward masterclass, I think for the rest D eV illies and Roos were the best loosie display thia weke and Sacha varied from very good ordinary, The rain could have ccaused problems in ball handling. I am not sure Harlequins can beat La Rochelle - but something tells me that big win last Saturday was extremely misleading as to the real strngth of Harlequins
