Stormers have been dominating these past few minutes. Yellow card should give us the advantage.

Just saw this on Twitter. If you are a regular user you will understand.

Dear Cheetahs. If u get a DM which says: Someone is blogging horrible things about you, its true... not spam

Gotta love how a ref will officially warn the Stormers for repeated infringements but anyone else, yellow card ......

Ja well. Those dooses like to wrap their precious stormers in cotton wool

Deserve to lose this game, very lame showing by the Sharks. Heads need to roll over selecting idiots that keep giving away penalties over and over.

Typical ... you can't beat a struggling side and then resort to blaming the ref ... shame

Just to clarify -

1) Gregory is a Bulls supporter ..... so that all the rest of rest of us can see that the Stormers get different treatment shows that they do.\
2) Struggling side? The Sharks have people mia, new people in new positions and you say it's the Stormers mstruggling? Please man .....

You read me wrong my friend. I very much hate the sharkies. By far my least favourite team as many here will testify. I take delight in seeing Province nail them BUT I do feel that the officials treat the Stormers way better than the other SA teams.



Glad they won in the end though...

EDIT: Thanks M_H for clarifying and confirming - unfair is unfair, end of story.

Yes they are struggling. Last weeks performance was just as bad as today. I attribuye the win to the Sharks not performing well at all today. If they played like they did against the Bulls, ghey would have had at least a 10 point win. They made more critical errors and conceded too many penalties. But they will pick up their game next week.

Amazing how the refs let the Schmucks get away with so much dirty play, they must be the dirtiest side ever to play Super rugby.
Not to mention the forward passes they get away with...

I just saw the replays again and this was such a *** call by referee Craig Joubert. I've never seen any consistency when it comes to tip/spear tackles.

It was a poor decision, just like the Greyling try.

See the laser pointer? I noticed it during the game as well.

Yeah. Joubert was average at best. Missed plenty on both sides.

I saw the laser as well. Wish they would just catch and ban the bastards. Nice that our photographer got it in the shot.

Yep, merit based selection burns your arse, does it?

Only if it's the Kings at the expense of the Lions.

Mmm - parts of thread disappeared. So, that red card, what is the rule these days? My understanding is mandatory review and sanction UNLESS the offender admits guilt within hours of the incident, at which point sanction can be halved/scrapped.

Is that correct?
