The Rugby Thread - Part Deux

[Heisenborg]

All blacks looking a bit shoddy

 

[S_L_Y_G_U_Y]

Yip, Im glad I decided watch

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Some diabolical kicks Roos showing why he's at home and Fourie wanting back in the Boks with some energetic displays for a balie!

 

[Heisenborg]

Pretty average refereeing. Tmo constantly intervening. Nz getting all the luck

 

[Brawler]

Wow! Impressive from stormers so far

 

[B-1]

Just like that it all changes.

 

[S_L_Y_G_U_Y]

Power

we still in this

 

[Brawler]

Ahmed is very good.

 

[Heisenborg]

Scrum them into the ground but they get the penalty?

 

[Heisenborg]

Scrumhalf knocks it but its backwards somehow. Easy to score tries then

 

[Vrotappel]

Demmit

 

[Vrotappel]

Just a few stupid errors costing the stormers

 

[Speedster]

They were expecting 45,000 - looks like a lot of Capeys arrived at the last minute.

7pm is not a good time traffic-wise.

Stadium announcer just said something about 47000

 

[DarkStarMonday]

Bok pack licking dem lips ….

 

[DarkStarMonday]

I know the Stormers very well. I stand by 'destroy' and once again i say I hope I am wrong.

Chat after the game, then you can tell me 'ha in your face', or I can say told you so. Deal?

Now just imagine a full strength Stormers team pumping like a machine, yep we scruming them into another dimension next week.

GLHF with that ABs.

It was no easy task. Stormers put up a good fight. Early injuries and their fitness at the end was the difference really.

Other than that they could have gotten a win. Good game overall.

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

Good attendance
Great game by the Stormers youngsters and old age home.
NZ not looking bad. There was no intensity like in a real test match, they took the game on like a barbarians game. Even running from their own 22 while they had 13 on the pitch.
Nice and entertaining.

 

[Heisenborg]

Score is irrelevant. What matters is softening them up for the boks

Job done

Government officially takes some control over Springboks Greatest Rivalry Tour

The South African government has officially designated the 2026 Rugby Greatest Rivalry Tour as a protected event.

businesstech.co.za

However, the notice includes requirements governing how SARU conducts procurement for the event, including principles of fairness, equity, transparency, and competitiveness.

SARU must comply with the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and apply the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition’s B-BBEE codes of good practice when assessing suppliers.

The requirements also call for support for South African businesses, particularly those from previously disadvantaged communities.

This has raised concerns from Solidarity, which argued that procurement and B-BBEE requirements should not be imposed on an independently organised sporting event.
