Well if they continue playing like this it will the only thing you can brag about because the Sharks will again not make the final. Considering their players they should be up there with Leinster.
Your game is next dude.

Supporting the Bulls

Yeah well it is anyone's guess how the Bulls will play, they love taking dips after breaks, I hope for something good.

Such a poor game. Looks like Am has lost a lot of pace, or just needs to get more fit? Too loose

Bulls playing lovely rugby

Moodie has lost pace and stamina. Interesting

Bulls should be further ahead. Can't really lose it from here

Im his defense there, he chased back for almost 100m, then got the ball and had to sprint straight back the other way. He also got a knock on the leg just before he got the ball.

But yes he seems slightly off pace since he came back from injury

Looks like he’s been in the gym instead of on the track. Too much bulk.

They are making lots of mistakes again. Agree that they should be further ahead, now the rain is coming down more so I am slightly worried. 2 tries are not always a lot.

We don't have the depth to win games like this regularly, with our Internationals away, even before one of our forwards pulls a meathead move & gets himself sent off

That was a bit harsh on Benetton, Schomans knee goes down, ref shouts tackle, then he keeps running

Surprisingly so. I know it's the B team, but they still have some decent players in the starting line-up. It's the bench that I thought would be their weakness.

What puzzles me is why you leave him do all the kicking. South Africa are one of the teams who sometimes have somebody other than the 10 doing the kicking so why force Libbock to keep doing it?

Sadly fat Trevor shoulder SMZ and somehow got away with it. SNow we are fucked with Libbok. At least Jantjies is on his way to France.

I really like Sacha. But he is very fragile. Besides trying to do everything himself. He needs to calm down.

Libbok....tired of asking wtf he is actually doing at the Stormers and Springboks. He has a huge colored following that cannot accept him as a failure and that is where the problem lies. They even turned on Sascha saying that with him on Stormers went 14 down and Libbok almost won the Stormers the game.

Complete nutters

Posted: **Sun Dec 01, 2024 5:59 am**

Stormers aren't going to have it any easier.
First, hosting the Lions and then the Sharks.
Except by the then the returning Sharks, Springboks, will be rested and have spent some time together.
Lions will be a tough one.
Stormers will have to win those 2 to have any chance of getting into the top 8.
Bulls tackle the Sharks next. Could go anyway

Posted: **Sun Dec 01, 2024 6:25 am**

You forget about the Stormers getting Springboks back. After yesterday's performance I feel much more comfortable. Moerat and Fat Frans will return next week and the man we need the most, Deon Fourie. Our pack has been huge yesterday. Fourie the missing link.

Posted: **Sun Dec 01, 2024 6:27 am**

The Sharks missing link is Curwin Bosch.

Maybe next time Eben will play. He can't fake any more injuries against the Stormers

Said from the beginning it was questionable and won't benefit Stormers

I see Jake White agrees with me regarding Moodie. Apparently his conditioning is not up to standard and he needs to resist the garage pies.

He looked very slow to me last night.

Ouboet. Winners are grinners. It is almost like you believe the Stormers will beat the Sharks in the second round at Cape Town Stadium. Like you are completely convinced

Libbok is starting to remind me of Bosch.

He was atrocious on Saturday. I genuinely feel sorry for him. I think he needs some time away from SA to get his mojo back, like a stint in Japan.

Stormers also not helped by Gelant and Jantjies.

Also I don't normally moan about refs, but the entire officiating team on Saturday was dreadful. Hooker's chalked-off try was utterly ridiculous, just because Venter couldn't make a tackle. Also the Stormers should have been rewarded more at the scrum for their dominance. Both teams screwed over.

Posted: **Mon Dec 02, 2024 6:48 am**

Jake White accuses Moody of overeating in his time with the Boks, and that he's come back to the Bulls out of shape.

I'm not sure if this is something you should really be saying at a press conference, but rather during a private conversation with the S&C team.

Libbok is very different to Curwin. He make stupid mistakes but fuck me his the ability to put his backline in space. Bosch the opposite kick like a donkey but thats all. No defense, no distribution.

Both teams at least have some positives out of the clash and time to kick some T14/GPS arse.

That wasn't quite my point. The similarity is that at some point the Sharks had to accept that his confidence was rock bottom, he's not going to re-find the form of his best years, and that the fans had stopped backing him. The best thing he could do is get some experience away from SA. I believe the Stormers have the same problem with Libbok.
