Do Lions practice passing, by throwing custard pies ?

They keep on butchering chances, by godawful passes

Terrible display of aimless kicking by both teams.

Stomps haven't tried to do enough, need to bring more ideas and inventiveness than they have in this one.

My point stands. Stomps didn't ask enough questions and made it harder for themselves. :thumbdown:

Moerat and our scrum and our defense was great to nite. Thought the Dragons had a great pack but the Stormers boss them.

I was flicking between the games tonight; but from what I saw; the Lions should have been much closer to Ulster; & the scoreline flatters the Stormers a tad.

The good news for us fans is that the net impression after the rounds so far, is that the SA teams have now found their feet; & their form will plonk them right smack in the middle of the rest of the teams; & this season will be ultra competitive; with the SA teams forcing the other teams to raise their games; or risk no playoff, & no European rugby next year :thumbup:

... and with more games being competitive; & the signs so far in terms of viewers/round; the signs are good for the: ugggh "Product"; so the teams can look forward to a decent income from the Leagues TV contracts ! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Now there'll be proper; "Home Games"; for the SA teams; I'm looking forward to some running rugby in our winter :grin:

Happy Days !!

Gelant was outstanding. Again. He is nailed on at 15 for the Stormers. He really turns your game around.

No excuse - they should have competent replacements - but I think the Dragons suffered when Dee went off early.

The Stormers defense was last night Springbokish. They still get going even when Moerat was yellowed , which was a joke. Was a good old legal hard hit.

A try saving tackle by Alex Cuthbert. Worthy of note?

Benetton with a dozen chances, 1 converted. Really poor decision making, however the Ospreys discipline is even worse!!

Pretty well unplayable when everything sticks like it has most of the time.
