Yes I said the same about the Stormers - they had the same BS selection and to start with - Willemse is no flyhalf and should be used a an inside center or full back, Gelant was a joke and their props went on holiday,
They were slightly better in defense was than the Sharks - where backline defense went AWOL. The only player I found was playing well was Schickerling - the rest was supershit,
Yes - like the Sharks they made horribly bad calls

I've said it over and over. These hot steppers can't play in any northern conditions. It was cold, there was due on the ball and no real footing and they think they can play their high pace game.
Willemse should have been pulled of off 10 min into the game. Like Libbok, he simply can't handle the pressure when he can't step and end up into traffic. He had one good clearing kick and that was it. He still does his little tap dance when he gets the ball, then either try to pass or run. He brings no rhythm. Willemse is so over rated.
He is not the best 10, he is not the best 12 and neither is a the best 15.
Why on earth did the Stormers not stick with Matthee, it worked for them last week. They got score board pressure and then got their tries towards the end.
Still playing trying to play tap dancing rugby
The Stormers' heads aren't lekke ATM...Dobo will fix it, but yeah Wimmelse shouldn't play 10...
Agree Jurie Mathee was doing so well and to go and change him for Willemse was a mistake. Besides that they didn’t get of the plane
Without Shaca the Stormers have no playmaker in their backline and it showed yesterday. the sis nothing like tap dancing rugby - there is having to have the ability to play 15 man rugby and in e case defnse was poor in the case of the Stromers and non-existent in the case of the Sharks. That has nothing to do with tap dancing rugby as KC mentioned above, It also have to do with lack of basic ball skills so clear in both the Sharks and Stormers players yesterday. . ,

Anything to say about their management?
They made numerous bad calls, managed the game poorly and looked like they didn't know how to tackle.
