Stormers can’t find a hooker who can throw straight.

[Sandstorm]

Feinberg is making the Lions centres his private dancers.

[Sandstorm]

Two fuckups from Similani and the Lions score twice. Can he piss off back to Durban please?

[Sandstorm]

Red for Angelo Davids as he takes off poor Nohamba’s head. Stupid. Then Louw’s retaliation gets him a yellow.
Circus.

Davids must have a lot of soccer friends, that reaction to the push would have made Neymar proud.

ROOS!!!!! What a try!!

The Lions defense has been really poor this game, falling off tackles the whole game so far. Reminds me a bit of the bulls defense this season

[bok_viking]

Lions will kick themselves today if they do not win. Many opportunities but very inaccurate.

[OomStruisbaai]

Stormers have their bonus point. Job done

[bok_viking]

Very disappointing game by the lions today, gave the game to the Stormers more than the stormers being the better team.

Bench was immense. Fantastic last 10 minutes.
Roos my MOTM.

Good pack, but an inexperienced backs had no chance when Nohamba went hamba.

So the Stormers will get either Glasgow but hopefully it will be the Bulls plus some SA Conference silverware.

Go Sharks!!!

I actually would not mind the Stormers at Loftus right now, going by todays game.
I am a bit nervous about the Sharks game today, it will just be like the Sharks to play their best game in ages today. The bulls defense is what have me nervous. They will just have to score a bunch of tries again
But we need to get that home SF, so it will be very disappointing if the Bulls lose today.

[OomStruisbaai]

Lions can still sneak in 8th.

Stormers need Fourie . Did well with 14 men.

David's come from a very poor background in Fisantekraal. Stellenberg scout him from primary school and gave him a home.

We do. Only made 1 turnover and tried maybe two more in 80 mins. Not enough pressure on oppo ball.

[_Os_]

Wright stopped the try scorer going under the posts which made Goosen miss the conversion. Tackled back a Bulls lock in the Sharks 22. Almost scored a solo try.

Springbok cap loading.

Springbok bowls?

The Bok frontrow are getting owned here

[OomStruisbaai]

Cameron Wright play a stunner here.

[_Os_]

Wright makes excellent kicks from hand, Stransky gets excited. Tackles back the son of the dictator in the Bulls frontrow and forces a knock.

Springbok cap loading.

What's going on with Koch? He's getting reamed.

[_Os_]

Wright hit back Warthog charging on the carry. Couldn't stop Warthog on the line going for the try.

Springbok cap has paused loading.

Sharks locks are powderpuff

[_Os_]

What's going on with Koch? He's getting reamed.

could be tired, but both Bulls starting props Wilco Louw and Gerhard Steenekamp are very good. They're the sort of players where there's nothing between them and Bok regulars. Rassie even says he doesn't pick just the best or most talented, he picks the best for him which means those that have the mentality he likes, tough and not arrogant. There's a lot of talented players that have been passed over, can't argue with it looking at the results.

Meh, the Bulls are hardly picking Bakkies/Matfield themselves.

[Uncle fester]

Entertaining game. Wish they'd keep the as it stands table up.

[Uncle fester]

Ooof that tackle

[_Os_]

Akker has is easy now Wright is off, the brick wall is now an open gate for the angry Warthog.

[OomStruisbaai]

Congrats to the Bulls and Sharks. Was a great game from both sides. Sharks gave it their best shot, Bulls had to work hard.

[_Os_]

Ooof that tackle

Mchunu's upper body build is ridiculous, shocks me every time I see him. Fuck getting hit by that.

[bok_viking]

That was a bit nerve wrecking . Glad the Bulls defense was a lot better than its been for quite a while in that first 20 minutes when the Sharks were on top. Bulls were made to work for that bonus point, they made a lot of unforced errors in the 2nd half on attack. Hope Arendse is not injured to badly and that it is just a bruised shoulder. Need him for the boks.
The Bulls front row did a lot better than I expected against that bok front row.

Now if Ulster can do us a favour for the top spot it will be much appreciated

[Uncle fester]

Normally when a guy is hurt like that, the tackle is either illegal or borderline but this wasn't even remotely close to that.

[Uncle fester]

Main event coming up now. Hopefully Cardiff and Ospreys put on a good show for us.

Ulster are very up for this.
Munster hanging on for the bench.

[fishfoodie]

Amazing what a change of coach, & bringing in a new set of eyes can do for a team.

[Sandstorm]

Huge amount of ref gobbing-off happening at Thomond today. Scum.
