We are red, we are white. Morne van den Berg is dynamite. (Add a Tshituka or two to that)

[Jock42]

Well done Lions. Better team on the day. Too conservative from Embra but handling when they tried to play with tempo.

[Chilli]

Vincent playing like a Springbok

Oom are you one of my multis?

[Chilli]

We are red, we are white. Morne van den Berg is dynamite. (Add a Tshituka or two to that)

Great Win!

[Sards]

Now the Stormers must do their job

[FalseBayFC]

We are red, we are white. Morne van den Berg is dynamite. (Add a Tshituka or two to that)

Morne is the by far the best SA scrumhalf playing locally. Vincent T ahead of Elrigh Louw in my book. Louw is a blindside flanker and not a no.8.

[Chilli]

Super try..
Manie Libbok is such a good 10.

[Blake]

Let’s hope “Good Manie” plays for the whole 80mins today.

[Chilli]

And another try.

[Blake]

What is happening???!!!

This is madness!

[PCPhil]

Christ almighty. Watching Osprey’s tackling……. Were they all out on the piss last night?

[OomStruisbaai]

Springboks fatties vs Wales fatties

It looks like we have the next generation of bok loosies all lined up, a few young guys that are really putting their hands up. Lock stock looks pretty decent as well.

[Chilli]

For 5 Million a year he should really be able to kick the ball better.

[Blake]

Warrick Galant would have KILLED in this match.
So far it is proof, if any was needed, that Willemse is AT BEST a stopgap at 15.

He needs to play 12 or 10. Play on instinct with little to no time. When he plays 15 and has time on the ball he is terrible. Overthinks everything and executes poorly.

[Sards]

Libbok has been phenomenal. I would have him as bok utility player in a heartbeat

[Sards]

Stormers scrum still a concern

[Chilli]

Another quality try.

[Sards]

Another quality try.

Again Libbok

[Blake]

How strong is Zas?

I’ve seen I’m truck a couple of players over the last couple of weeks. Complete wrecked Specman and now bounced another defender. He’s not bulky enough to be able to do that!

He isn't a 10.
Been there as a senior. Was pretty ordinary.

[Sards]

De Wet has been a proper scrumhalf

The guy he wrecked was a forward too! He does seem to be bit more swole than past seasons. Stormers site puts him at 93kg. He could well be a couple of k's heavier than that now.

Oh, I agree, my point is just that he shouldn’t be given time to make decisions because his decision making is generally poor.

The less time he has on the ball, and the more he is forced to play on pure instinct the better he tends to play. So 12, 10, 15 in that order is where he is most useful/least damaging

[Chilli]

De Wet has been a proper scrumhalf

So much better than Junkies.

You are correct.
However I don't rate him as a player in general.
There are much better 12's, 10's and 15's.

[Sards]

Lots of pace. Him and Libbok feed off each other.


Good first half Stormers

[Blake]

Not a fan either.

I eagerly await the announcement that he is going Japan for a payday. Annoyingly that will probably open a more permanent spot for Segeal Petersen who is just as bad.

[OomStruisbaai]

Stormers look like a happy team. Enjoying their rugby.

[OomStruisbaai]

Evan Roos pure Springbok

[FalseBayFC]

Evan Roos pure Springbok

Dan du Preez is bigger and better.

Fatter en kakker

[Sards]

Willemse is no Gelant

[OomStruisbaai]

Zaaaaaassss .

[OomStruisbaai]

Willemse is no Gelant

That try is on you.

[Sards]

The ex Sharks players are alive and shining. Zas

[Sards]

Willemse is no Gelant

That try is on you.

That was all Zas

[FalseBayFC]

Evan Roos pure Springbok

Dan du Preez is bigger and better.

Fatter en kakker

After years of being spoiled by Duane I feel more comfortable with a huge no.8

[Sards]

Junktjies is such a step down

[Blake]

Junktjies is such a step down

Massive drop in tempo.
He is so badly out of form
Wish we could get 2019 Herschel back.
