Wolves vs Stormers

Stormers 7 points down and Basson fumbles a try.

 Hi DB, wee stormers battling the Sunwolves and are down 10 to 3 after 13 mins.

 Some very enterprising play by the Stormers - exceptional handling for a South African side.  When they get their mojo going they will run all over the Sunpuppies.
But, the SunWolves are getting better with every game they will test the Stormers for sure.

Currently du Plessis is better than the two incumbent Springbok 10's.  Neither Pollaard nor Jantjies are anywhere near good enough for Bok honours.

 And as I say that du Plessis du Preez tackles the hot-air of a Sun Wolves player - that's really poor!

 Machiavelli
It is not Du Plessis playing at 10 - it is Du Preez.   And Dan Kriel is as useless as his brother at center.   What the hell did the Stormers think when they took over Basson and Kriel from the Bulls and then played them both in a game? 

 Every  ball Kriel got he buggered up - and his defense is non-existent as well.   He and Du Preez are both slow and donkey-like

stormers with some effective play in the forwards & they get the try. 24-17 to sunwolves. Of course Beeno is to scared to watch.

 Yes Mike, but in between writing a book, watching rugby and trying to eat lunch while the dog stares at me, I made a terrible mistake and blamed the wrong springbok's kid..
Robert should talk to his offspring..  

 Stormers are playing too loose.

 Sunwolves score another decent try of a solid scrum and some good back play.

 Stormers shouldnt have laid up their players ,especially the ones in my team !Tell you what the Jags seem to be sneaking under the radar ...

 Agree on the Jags Wardad, they are looking good & no one is saying much about it.

 Hey JW !Too true Bro I hear almost nothing about them despite the pretty good start .Sunnies are looking alright .

Not able to concentrate on the game and can only watch bits and pieces. From what I have seen it is a matter of same old same old with SA teams. The major difference in backline play is that non-SA teams attack the gaps between defenders. SA teams attack the defenders and not the gaps.

Robert Du Preez is having a pretty good game at ten. Good prospect

 Stormers have kept in close & we will see how the bench of the two teams do.

 Stormers score a try, senata with a good run & du Preez making a good runoff a short pass.

31 to 34 stormer s in front at the 63 mins mark. They should pull away now.

 Mighty Stormers take the lead!!!!!!!!Ou Windpomp is correct for once. Too much running at the man rather than at gapes plus going to ground rather tahn passing the ball. I just cant fathom why these oaks cant figure out something as simple as this. I mean even ou windpomp twigs Hahahahahhahaha

 Beeno arrives in time to see a yellow card given to the wee stormers. Now it will be a more competitive game.

 Wee Jap duck and then Stormers get yellow card from glancing high tackle. Load of rubbish.

 Unfair penalty. Justice, kick miss!

 Can the hapless stormers beat teams like the sunwolves? It is an open question at this point

 JW Beeno has been watching but ignorant chirping by some oaks disturbs my concentration.

 Glad you finally put your two yellow balls on the shelf & decided to participate in a live thread discussion. It takes courage to watch a game like this.

 Stormers grinding it out but mess up on the last play so no points.

 Brilliant Du Preez. This guy looks to be a Bok. Lets hope its a try!

 Unfortunately offside!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Now Stormers sink these wolves!

 Looks like a good try from the stormers, must be a kiwi coach involved. Very good kick and catch but try no awarded. Yellow card for sun wolves.

 TRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JW you cant keep a good side down.
On ly trouble is the backline play. Need to learn how to attach, pass, run lines etc

 Dan Kriel has been replaced and the defense improved immediately - but Du Preez thinks kicking is the only way yo go.
Du Preez took a too long time with a kick and the result was the follow-up was off-side.   Useless donkey that one.

 Stormers forwards score a try off the driveling maul

 JW speaks with forked tongue methinks.
Class had to tell and a Stormers second string whips the gallant wolves.44-31. Solid win.
Match revealed lack of attacking skills but halfbacks were good.

 Well congrats to the wee stormers, one feels obliged to say such things even when they play teams like the sunwolves. Sunwolves did well but don't have enough depth so bench is wea k.

Jags are playing later today, that should be a good game.

 The Stormers won - but I hope Fleck learned something from the game and that is to get rid of a few donkeys in the backline and Kriel is the key one.   Jean-Luc du Plessis must get back asap - at least he is a thinking flyhalf and not a donkey-kicker.
Mozart would have loved all the kicking in the game - mostly aimless and handing over possession.   But that means nothing to him - as long as they kcick the ball verything is what he expects from them.   

 Maaik. Rob had a good match. The running at all cost had us behind most of the match. When we started playing in the right areas of the field, we got better. MOM performance in my book.

 Well said Draad. ou maaaaikie was smoking something strong!
