Someone please explain.

The Stormers go over the line, the ref blows a try.

Then it gets referred to the TMO to check something about blocking or interference.

There is none shown, but then we get a penalty instead of the try ?

What did I miss ?

I think he saw a knock on after that Sharks player went offside and tackled Groom.

You missed the fact that Peyper is an ejit

Peyper never blew for the try. You can see he indicated no try.

Still loving the victory! Our 3rd string/Vodacom Cup side winning against the no. 1 side!

Then why was the first hand in the air his? (while he blew the whistle)

Indeed.

Yes that was confusing but look just after that.

Well done to the lions and the stormers. I'm just glad that the bulls weren't the only team to lose to a *** team this weekend.

 

[Devill]

Congrats to the Lions and Stormers.

The Lions took their chances and the Bulls could not even do the basics right.

The Sharks might have been a bit rigid in their approach to the game and refused to adapt to the game itself.

I am not surprised if you look at the Springbok selection. I predict alot of young guys moving in the next year or two, not even to mention the Quota System they want to implement enjoy RWC 2015 think it would be our last and the end of SA Rugby

Pretty smart move from him, I think. If he comes back in 2 years' time Matfield and Botha will be gone, so he'll have a better chance. If quotas fsck up his chances then he's already been earning big bucks in France and can just continue.

Johann Sadie also heading to Japan.

No loss there, he's useless

He's not that bad, but not test-level material.

to me he's opportunistic... i sucked at the stormers, sucked at the bulls... is doing a little better at the cheetahs to be fair.

I fully agree but still think alot of the young guns are going to take the same route

I have seen this before in so many players.

I think it's the type of Rugby the Cheetahs play. Lots of players fit right in to their game they play. When they leave however it all just goes South. Also, the Type of running rugby the Cheetahs play feels similar to the rugby these guys played at Higschool level. Where as other unions have a more Brute force approach.

prov also the reason so many SA supporters love the playing style of the Cheetahs even if you don't support them. This is the type of rugby we played in Highschool.

Where's my dartboard ... all the games look like 50/50.

I think that if the money is good, why not. A rugby career doesn't last very long, so why not milk it when you can.
