I think the Stormers forwards did very well thus far - and if sacha and wilmse was heir the Stormers lead would have nearer to 30 points than the present led at tis stage, I do not know whether this is the best forwards Leinster has they will struggle to retain the URC Cup.


Roos was very good thus far,

Plenty of errors 6-0 to Stormers halftime


Roos looking strong, busting tackles


Enjoying the physical carries of big Andre Smith at 4


Matthee at 10 is indecisive and Ungere at 9 is shit - has always been shit

Leinster are without all their British Lions so it’s effectively their B side


Stormers without Willemse, Libbok and Sacha

Looking forward to seeing how the Stormers bench props go - Zac Porthen at 3 was Baby Bok captain last year and Oliver Reid at loosehead was in this years Baby Bok side - is only 19 so available for Baby Boks next year


Both good prospects


16-0 to Stormers try to Ungere after a Sinatla mini break

OK Dave


But the B-Side was overwhelmed by the Stormers


The Stormers will end up top of the log after Round 1 - but that point difference will be enough.

Good performance from Stormers - Leinster still had 14 test players involved

Just watched the highlights, so much for Nienaber much vaunted defense.


This wasn't as flashy by the Stormers like recent seasons but definitely a complete well balanced performance to knock of the top team in the URC.


Just curious how many of the front line players got left at home, again. From Leinster, but Stormers are also without some of their key players.
