Galant trying, but his teammates are just too village to keep up.

God we miss Damien Willemse. :sad:

What happened to clear and conclusive evidence needed to overturn a decision?
Just been reading about the attendance in this game: 2800. Welsh rugby is so screwed.

Rubbish, we’ve been much worse than that!!! Leinster just keep coming and don’t make mistakes. If you attack them without pace (no Libbok, Sasha or Willemse) then they just devour you.

I think Stormers were screwed by the ref in the first half too. Who was the replacement Stormers loose head at the end? Utterly out of his depth :oops:

Really looking forward to watching this game.
It's great to get a good win on the road.

But once again the ref screwed the Stormers over

No one is judging. We are all Saffers struggling with the depth required for European tournaments

What teams don't have a prop run up and whisper the call into the hookers ear these days? Seems like a very odd and easily overcome gripe.

He must do a ton of work away from any sort of ball in play because I never notice the fat lazy bugger until lineout or scrum time.

Mapimpi banned for 3 matches for an eye gouge.

Quite surprised about this, I didn't see anything during the match or in the post-match chatter.

Anyone got footage?

I'm hearing from a Boks fan that Big Eben is stuggling with concussion symptoms

I hope he prioritises his long term health first and foremost.

Hope this was the last of Jantjies and specially Matthee. Bulls scrum was very good.

Bulls are in a great space. Only 2 home games so far and 3rd on the log.. Also great to see the good spirits between the two teams players. Something the French can learn from.
