Neither team seems like they want to win this.
Both fucking up every time they get into the red zone.

Conditions really tough out there for how physical things are.

Only thing worse than the Stormers’ catching has been their kicking.

Very frustrating to watch. Yes, conditions were incredibly tough, but the handling and kicking was so very shit.

It’s like none of these players have ever played in the wet before.

Nice going Stormers. SA teams showing plenty of backbone this weekend. Can't remember when last I saw a scoreless half of pro rugby.

Swiel is just garbage. If we had a proper 10, Stomps would have won easily.

At least the forwards lasted 80 mins tonight :thumbup:

Brok Harris wouldn't have conceded a penalty in the scrum if he'd stood up and punched the referee in the face.

Even stevens at the end is probably about fair, very good defence from both SA sides this afternoon.

Only last 10 were wet. No excuse for the terrible back 3 standards of catching before that.

He was collapsing like a cheap accordion for the last four or five scrums, but the ref wasn't having it

Navidi bonbed a try in the corner there, now off.

Very winnable game for the Bulls but I've been hurt before. Rarely look like they give a shit.

Yes. Ref was great everywhere except the scrums where he - probably wisely - decided he didn’t know what was happening in there……so just let the ball go to the backs.

That's Goosens career over. ACL gone I reckon. Surgery and a year off. Hard to come back from that.

Every game so far like they want to get the damn thing over with. Very basic attack too.

Maybe White's not the guy to take them forward?

I had fairly high hopes for the Bulls coming into this but they've been playing braindead rugby. Jakeball its called. Worked once to win a RWC and ran OK with the Brumbies and the Sharks for one season each. Other than that he's done squat. A bit of a fraud really is our Jake.

I did like Jackman's story about the two of them up in Marcoussis.



If things do head south for a team you need more than confidence to turn it around.

Pretty easy score. There's more of them there if they can get the territory.
