Did really well in the end since the time the game was at a draw.

Rebels played well, but not on the same level as the current Brumbies and Waratahs. Stormers need to work on their lines.

In my opinion the Stormers had a well-rounded victory. They should be able to pick up 10 more points. Please leave Schalk as the team captain.

Yeah, convincing victory in the end! Tight five was immense today! Notshe as well, love watching him play?!! kids got wheels. Bet he would beat Damien to the ball too? Schalk solid! Stormers backs not as dynamic without Kolbe and Juan, although Taute had a solid return game.

Cheetahs having an epic brain fade... Letting such a lead slip against the Force... :erm:

 

[sand_man]

Giving away soft penalties. You would think the ref repeatedly shouting 'leave it white' would be a clue. Apparently not. Cheetahs have gone backwards under Franco, sadly.

Some soft defense and poor control at the kick offs too.

Sigh! Rapidly losing my love for rugby..... find it to be more time wasting than entertainment.....

That was some offload by Mapoe.

Siege.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Poor Sharks...

 

[OrbitalDawn]

That's heartbreaking.

Fool's Gold at his finest. Play a zero possession game against arguably the best ball in hand team in the competition. The Lions are great, but the sharks, even with all the injuries, are pathetic.

That's heartbreaking.

No it's not

Beautiful to watch....

And I hope AC is watching the Beast and Redelinghuys battle

Wave after wave after wave. There is daylight between these teams in every aspect of this game, every one. Other than the little break down the left, I can't think of a moment the Sharks have looks threatening. The Lions on the other hand...

 

[Agent_Smith]

The handling... It's like watching a bunch of okes having a game of touch on a Sunday afternoon; the ball just never dies in contact. Feel for Paul Jordaan though. He just can't catch a break. A tear, on the other hand...

 

[iDOL]

They're running the Sharks ragged. My word , just wave after attacking wave.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Be nice to have it slowed down a tad by the ref actually picking up what the commentators are picking up ......

Would have been only a slim chance with a full strength side, this decimated B team has no gap against the Lions, at all

 

[Mortymoose]

No "Surfs Up" on my telly!

 

[FoXtroT]

Our defense is just non existent. Lions are getting so much go forward we don't have time to even get back in line.

Some serious thinking needs to be done in terms of our game plan.

LOL. Have there been any scrums that haven't gone backwards for the Sharks? Also, Jaco breaking lines and running in support, Malcolm being fantastic and Franco imperious... So good to watch. Centers have been good as well today. Johan's boy handling No 8 just fine right now too.

BARSH! Great tackle from Sithole
