Yikes... Master class so far from the Crusaders. Their ball skills is something else.

Also, lol at poor Robert du Preez.

The guy asks him "How do you stop this juggernaut?"

Him: "Who? :confused:"

Not at all bud, just analysing things. We will see if the Stormers can do anything against the NZ teams. At the moment they have already gave up, not the best mentality atm.

Your boys don't look like they have a plan B and they seem to slip back into old habits when the going gets tough.... Also not sure the maturity, patience and structure is there to mount a come-back.

i get what you were saying about the Lions but they do seem to have that last bit, and it's getting us over the line on bad days.

So when Fleck spoke midweek about having 'plans in place', were these them? Interesting plans... :wtf:

Stormers simply haven't pitched up. Let's hope for a game of 2 halves. Records will fall if they don't improve by 200% in the 2nd. They're on for a 70 point drubbing. That's horrific!

I feel the same about Robbie Fleck as I feel about Nollis Marias. Super Rugby is a level too high, and they are inconsistent. The WPRU should have listened to Gert Smal, but no, and I do understand that the GLRU also obstructed John Mitchell's appointment, but succeeding Robbie Fleck to head coach was a mistake. My opinion.

I think he meant he'd checked TripAdvisor and they were sorted for restaurants, wine tours and jet boat rides. ;)

I thinks its also because they had possession for a change, what's the stats looking like?
Don't have a eye on the stats, but going by New Zealand Super Rugby victories they have favoured less ball possession and more kicks from hand.

Was 57/43 when it was on screen a couple minutes ago.

And yes, this idea that nz teams don't kick is silly. They kick more than most, but they don't kick just for the sake of kicking.

Stormers got schooled today.

Just a pity the commentators are clueless regarding the rules on playing the guy in the air.
