Roos scores with a scintillating runaway try . 7-0
Dodgy stream ............... missed 2nd try WP 17-0 AFTER 9 MIN
What the hell? I turned on 8 minutes into the game and the Stompies are 18 points up.
17-5 after 17 min
Who scored the second try?
And why is Sacha already bandaged up?
Ulster fighting back now with the help of the ref.
12-17
Ulster 12 - 17 ............. 29m
Dave would be proud of Roos. He's putting in good work tonight.
Ulster have no scum at all.
Saying that, the Stormers are slow to the ruck and too frantic, as usual.
Sacha with a lovely 50/22 with 3 minutes to go in the half.
And no Sacha gets a yellow card for knocking over the player chasing a kick ahead.
And Ulster score from the penalty.
Stupid stuff from Sacha.
17-17 at half time
Well I didn't know there's rugby on. Just in time to see Ulster score.
Petulant Zuluman gets a yellow & Ulster score, halftime 17-17
Stupid shoulder charge by Sacha on Baloucoune and it's a yellow. That could be a game-changer.
I dunno, but the Stormers look like they play for themselves. Very little structure or plan to what they wanna do.
Lots of headless chicken stuff and frantic panic about them.
Loader second try
De Wet replacing Duvenage is also a big problem . . .
Stompies should have had this in the bag at half-time. Instead they're level and down to 14 men.
And now the Stormers fail to clear their lines from the kickoff.
Great way to start the half.
Saved from conceding a try by a knock on from Ulster.
Zas lucky not to get a yellow but it's a penalty to Ulster and Stockdale scores. The wheels have come off here . . .
Another long ass review for a whole lot of nothing.
And now they're checking an illegal clear out
Willemse with a soft cleanout and Ulster awarded a penalty on the Stormers line.
And Ulster dot down in the corner.
Conversion is good...damn that was a difficult one.
25-17
Simple try Ulster.
Correction, it was Willemse who gave up that last penalty, not Zas.
Now it's a red card for Fouche. Stompies have imploded.
Break in play for an injury.
Ulster - standing in a close circle talking
Stormers - standing around doing not much of anything
And now they're checking a fouls play.
Red card.
How can you get lower???? He's on his knees and the guy falls into him.
These refs are retarded
gameover
They are killing the game. This is beyond ridiculous now.
Well I'm off to bed, who wants to watch this pussy game called rugby anyway. Just convert it to touchies and be done with it.
How can you get lower???? He's on his knees and the guy falls into him
Its not about height, its about needing to use your arms. It was a shoulder straight to the head and the Ulster player went off injured. Falls into him?...fuck off.
I agree. Red card was the right call.
Sacha back on and the Stompies are back to 14.
Sacha drop goal and it's 24-20.
Nice drop by Sacha.
Stormers have zero ideas here so they'll welcome the 3
20-24
Hugo wins a penalty after the Stormers yet again fail to clear their lines from the kickoff...lucky
Stockdale offloads to Ward and Ulster score. Not sure there's any coming back from this . . .
Ulster make ground at will and run in a try from deep on their own half after the Stormers fluff the lineout they got from Hugo's penalty.
Kak lineout, kak defence!
Nice pass from Sacha and the Stompies score through Engelbrecht.
31-27
Stormers with lineout about 16m out...
Maul rolls, a few phases after...Engelbrecht gets through and scores.
Easy conversion...
Game on!
31-27
Lol Rooi...whoever was doing the TV score is drunk.
Pathetic defence from Zas and Ulster score.
38-27
FFS
Ulster run in yet another one from their own half.
Zas has to be the shittest winger in SA
38-37
Lovely try Ulster 38-27
Mathee on for Willemse. Does this mean Sacha goes to fullback?
Stompies 5m out but they knock on . . . ref checkng something here . . .could be a yellow for Ulster?
Yes, yellow card to Ulster and penalty to the Stompies. Stompies can still get out of jail here . . .
Yes, yellow card to Ulster and penalty to the Stompies. Stompies can still get out of jail here . . .
Ulster intercept but the ref was playing advantage . . . Stompies should take the scrum . . .
Stormers can set up a lineout from a penalty now.
Maul evaporates. A few phases but the Stormers win another penalty and set up another lineout.
5m lineout now...maul goes down...then the Stoners knock at the bar if the ruck...
Ref checking for illegal play on the ground as Ulster play Roos' hand as he tried to place the ball - yellow card for their efforts.
its 14 v 14 now
Storners opt for the scum in the Ulster line...scum penalty...Stormers have ZERO ideas on attack and luckily come back for the penalty advantage.
Strong carry by Roos . . . surely . . . no . . . Roos over!
Sacha kicks the conversion and it's 38-34 to Ulster with 5 to play.
Roos goes over the line after numerous close phases on the Ulster line.
This should make it a 4 point game with 5 minutes to go
38-34
Ulster give up a penalty with 2 minutes to play. Stompies set up a lineout on half way. Last chance saloon . . . Stompies win it but Ulster turn it over and kick it out. Game over. Ulster win 38-34 after being 17-0 down.
Stormers get a penalty in their own half with 1 minute to go. They setup a lineout just inside the Ulster half...
And they fluff the lineout.
Dobson is everybody's buddy.
Bravo Belfast boys ............. grand ultimately frustrating game.
Man the Stormers are a frustrating side to watch - sublime to shit in a matter of moments
That first try by Roos was beautiful
Sacha is a special player - those hands, that vision and execution. He started with a bandage as he split his head open last week.
Plum - Zas is far better than that - has always been good on attack, deceptively strong.
But he has been injury plagued and looks to be struggling with his pace - that fullback stepping him and leaving him for dead was piss poor
Willemse is completely wasted at 15 - too many changes to the side each week. They lack some real clout at centre. Dan du Plessis had a purple season last year but has been nowhere this season
Dobson has Baby Bok standouts at centre in Bruce Sherwood and Josh Boulle - maybe it’s about time he introduced them instead of playing the pretenders
Connor Evans at 4 had a good game - was very involved
Another disappointing game by the Stormers - time for a coaching change - the side needs different directing
We should have won this, but it was still a very good result...2 points for our last away match!!!
There have been many games the Stormers should have won - same applies to Sharks and Bulls none more so than that Saints game a few months back
The Boks make a habit of winning games our provincial sides often flatter only the faulter
sxcvb
The Stormers should end about 6th on the log...pity about the loss last night.
7 points from 2 away games aint bad...
