Phew, thought I'd be down 2 games, good last minute score by the Reds, very lucky though.

Haha, I hope you enjoy the game tonight Greg.

It was fantastic. Of course, there was this idiot where we were sitting who had obviously been drinking all day, face painted blue and behaving in the most atrocious manner. Oh, wait, that was me. PARTY!!!!

Nervous towards the end, I will say.

Interesting start to the tournament. Second round predictions going to be tricky.

Stormers should take this game. Need to play for the full 40 minutes though.

 

[Bona Botse]

Stomers seem to have dozed off, 23 all.

Hurricanes seem to have read the Stormers play but the Stormers have not realised it and changed game plan.

 

[Creag]

Nice win for the Stormers. Thought there was serious decision errors by the Canes.

I thought Jonker was diabolical.

...that moegoe from the Cape got tackled from behind just as he slowed up to dot down under the posts many years ago. What was his name again?

Chester Williams tackled Robbie Fleck.

Chester Williams tackled Robbie Fleck.

That's it! Funniest thing ever on the rugby field. 2nd was one time when Kobus Weise got flipped onto his ass when he tried to tackle a Natal player from behind the shoulders. Another pearler was Helgaart Muller throwing a complete frothy on the field when a decision didn't go his way. He even ripped up the grass and stomped his feet like a petulant child. Actually, on second thought, I'm going to bump that one up to #1.

It wasn't Chester Williams, it was Deon Keyser from the Sharks ......

Lions 27 - 25 Cheetahs

 

[sand_man]

Horrible game. Close to 30 penalties. Crap.

 

[Creag]

Hoping Lions can play with confidence from Currie Cup last year. Hoping SA teams get the rust out asap.

I stand corrected. It was indeed. I got so much satisfaction watching that since it was a period where all the WP players fancied themselves as superstars and models.

I still have that on video somewhere, I should get it put onto dvd. It's one of those moments that you remember forever

Few pics from our photographers at the game tonight.

Cheetahs centre Andries Strauss has been suspended for two weeks!

This follows his dangerous tackle on Wikus van Heerden in last night's match. Wikus was stretchered off the field with concussion and Andries received a yellow card and then a white card (means that the referee recommends a citing and disciplinary hearing of the incident)

Edit: He pleaded guilty to the charge.

If he did not pleasd guilty it would ten to one have been four weeks. Luckely for him he did not drive Vickus into the ground.

After seeing this photo from our photographer Denese Lups, I think he was lucky to get away with two weeks.

@APoc84, great photography. 2 weeks is definitely extremely lucky.
