URC 1st QF, Glasgow vs Stormers

33-18

Now Roos runs onto and knocks a Sacha pass which may or may not have been meant for him. Stormers definitely doing a Sharks here.

Sione finds a huge gap and makes far too many meters through some poor tackling. Glas has the penalty, they'll take 3.

36-18

Stormers get a penalty for obstruction, probably go for the lineout 5. Yes.

Their maul doesn't work. Sacha again going himself and gets carried back 5m.

Another penalty on the 22 Stormers. Manie for touch. Lineout 5 again.

Couldn't watch the game due to internet issues.

Well done in the thread though.

Will catch tomorrow's games and hopefully the SA teams can win

Maul better set this time. They go wide where Gelant knocks it, but another penalty. Lineout 5 again.

And AH Venter knocks it as he breaks around the maul.

Didn't miss much Plum. Jordan's been fire though.

The way the scrums have been going Stormers may have another penalty soon here.

Early push though and Glas has the free kick. Clearing into the Stormers half.

I see Dobson has shifted Sacha to 12 for the second half.

I really can't stand the idea of shifting one of the best backs to 12, where he is far less effective and has much less opportunity to make things happen.

I know the WP will defend him to the hilt but Dobson has really lost my vote this season.

The Stormers look like a complete shambles unless they're playing against bad teams that they can flex on.

Another Gelant moment as he tosses the ball behind his back to no one with the Stormers hot on attack.

How has Sacha, Pakie?

Their 12 is injured so Manie has to take flyhalf.

Sacha's been terrible.

Stormers win another scrum penalty, annihilates the Glasgow scrum.

And the Stormers just about tosses their lineout ball to Glasgow who rumbles it up to halfway wehere they get penalized again. Glasgow has been leaking penalties like a bucket that's eaten too much buckshot. 14-3 is the count.

I think Sacha will do better in a team like the Bulls or Boks where he has a coach that knows how to create cohesion and get the best out of players

And the Stormers lose it again. Jeez Loooweez.

Ja the Stormers have no plan. They had the one good move for a try in the second half, other than that nothing's happened. Even there just now they had lots of space out wide and then they cancelled it with the short pass before just losing the ball.

Another offload to nowhere from the Stormers but they have another penalty.

Stormers knock it again.

Tom Jordan has made 100 meters beating 8 defenders with 4 clean breaks and setting up Rowe's second try. My MOTM.

Stormers sitting at 62% tackle success.

Henco Venter off after a great game.

Roos struggling to outmuscle Rowe. How strong is the dude really?

Awful play by the Stormers. This is what happens when you have Libbok and Zulu boy on the same field. Hartzenberg was useless at centre and Gelant was nowhere.

I said it before, these coloureds can't tackle. They love flashy rugby

Gelant throws a kak pass to Loader as the Stormers try to counter out of their own 22. Lineout Glas.

Yeah KC there's too much flash and no one steering the ship. Looks great against poor opponents, looks shit tonight.

Glasgow's achilles heel is their scrum and maybe their penalty rate, which has been abysmal tonight.

Oh, where is Moderate, saw nothing from him. What a waste of space

All over, 36-18. One lucky bounce and one good backline move for the Stormers, along with some scrum dominance. Glasgow probably lucky not the get a yellow or two given their penalty rate, but despite a useless scrum they still smashed the Stormers.

I overslept got my times wrong ...

Lekker Blobbie. The sleep was better for you, believe me.

Darge gets MOTM. Fair enough, 22 tackles and a ton of work. I still fancy Jordan.

Ja Pak , Bulls at 11.30pm tonight unless I nod off

Atrocious defense by the Stormers lost this one. Sacha tried to do too much….that said his centers were hopeless outside him. Libbok created a try, but his defense was awful and finally that high open field cross kick resulted in an opposition try….just when the Stormers had gotten to within a point. Another disappointment on the day was Roos who did little positive except for one turnover, and was carved up by Jordan in one of his runs

Glascow by contrast with much less possession and much less territory were water tight on defense and ran some spectacular lines.

Only the starting front row and Senatla came away with credit today.
