If one of the Bulls players did throw a headbutt, I think he;s entitled to get in the refs ear

Get a grip, he’s been at it since he came on

He's trying to get his team to wake the fuck up

He woke up the Bulls with that act. May work against Wales teams but not good against Saffers as you saw the reaction from Coetzee and Botha.

[_Os_]

The Bulls being strong, coached by Jake White with Marcell Coetzee as their star player ... it's a nightmare.

I'm hoping Stormers win today too and the final. But then either the Bulls or Stormers will win the title. I can't imagine which bunch will be more insufferable winners. The nightmare will just be so much bigger. Its hard being a Shark in foreign waters!

Ulster winning would put them in their place. But I just can't bring myself to not support the Saffer teams.
I haven't yet developed the level of rancour I used to have against the Aus/NZ teams in the Soup. I'm sure once we've played a few editions of the URC the rivalries and 'hatred' of the NH clubs will ripen.

If it's two Saffa teams in the final do they play the final in the Northern hemisphere?

Cape Town. Highest team on the log.

Good luck Stormers. Let's see a Bulls vs Stormers final.

[FalseBayFC]

Warm and dry in Cape Town. North Easterly is gusting at up to 30 knots. CT Stadium is big bowl and there'll be some swirl . Could make kicking and lineouts a bit tricky. So long floated passes and kick passes to the corner could be risky.

[Chilli]

My most humble apologies to the Bulls and their fans. I expected them to be spanked.

Well fucking done!

No for the Stomps to moer Munster.

It's like some bizzaro team, specifically engineered in the darkest timeline to press all your buttons.
The only way it could be worse is if they had Frans Steyn instead of Morne Steyn

[FalseBayFC]

I may have just cum a little in my pants!

[Chilli]

10-0

[FalseBayFC]

That wing reminds me of Jeff Goldblum.

[Chilli]

If the Stomps spent as much time tackling as they do protesting they might have stopped thst try.

[Blake]

Forward pass that...but probably balances out the forward pass that led to Roos' try.

[FalseBayFC]

Fourie gone. That sucks. He's been incredible.

[FalseBayFC]

Lovely try. Stormers defence falling apart here.

[Blake]

Fourie gone. That sucks. He's been incredible.

Gonna hurt bigtime.

Ulster with 2 big counter punches. Momentum has definite shifted in the second quarter.

Quitened down the crowd too, who were buzzing with the strong Stormers start

[FalseBayFC]

God I hate Herschell with every fiber of my being.
edit: granted that was a nice one two with Roos for the try.

[Blake]

Fuck! Zas also off now. Not looking good for the Stormers.

2 key players off.

[FalseBayFC]

Stomps lack a couple of heavies in the locks and loosies. Roos carries well but they need another. Orie and Moerat are a bit light.

[Chilli]

Do the Stomps not want to win this?

Yip

[Sards]

Cmaan Stormers. Flippen hell

[FalseBayFC]

Stormers missing Paul de Wet and Adre Smith. A snappy no.9 and beefy lock. Herschel J and Libbok are capable of brilliant flashes but can be maddeningly inconsistent. Not what you want in your knockout game 9 and 10.

Ulster are playing like Leinster usually do. Abrasive and accurate.

[PCPhil]

Do the Stomps not want to win this?

Could say the same about Ulster. Watching while working and every time I look up one of their props looses ball in contact.

[FalseBayFC]

Libbok having a mare! Thinks he's playing for the Sharks.

[Blake]

Libbok having a mare! Thinks he's playing for the Sharks.

Ja, don't think the Stormers are winning with one.

With Libbok not on song, and our finisher on the sideline I don't think we will have enough sting in the backs to be a threat today.

Forwards are getting monstered up front.

[Tichtheid]

Ulster should have put this to bed, it could be costly

[PCPhil]

Well, I think that all the posters watching this match can agree that an Ireland v SA finale would be a lovely outcome after a jolly thrilling tournament.

[Slick]

Ulster should have put this to bed, it could be costly

Hope Fishfoodie is coping!!

[FalseBayFC]

Wazza getting amped! If Stomps can hang on within a few, they have plenty of gamebreakers to do something miraculous at the last minute.

[Blake]

Jissis Libbok!

[ia801310]

Jissis Libbok!

I think any chance of Libbock being a Bok soon has gone out the window

[Blake]

Ulster very cynical in the red zone.

Stormers losing their cool.

[FalseBayFC]

C'mon Stomps!

[Blake]

Jissis Libbok!

I think any chance of Libbock being a Bok soon has gone out the window

Only die-hard Stormers partisans were pushing for a Bok call up. He's shown at the Sharks and Bulls that he is a very mentally fragile player.
He's just showing it at the Stormers now.

[Blake]

Thor just doing Thor-things when it matters.

[FalseBayFC]

Filthy cunt! Adre Smith how the fuck can you do that?

[PCPhil]

Trying to get a fly out of his eye, that's all.
