Super Rugby 2018

Also love how the ref blows turnovers for them, almost immediately.
*rolleye*

The M_H is strong with me today...but things like that has huge impact on close games like this (-_-)
 
Haha!! Jonny Wilkinson reborn. Off his wrong foot. Stormers and Fleck, just fck off!!
 
They took the drop which we should have taken when we were on their side of the field.

I think Fleck is skating on thin ice.
 
Stormers needs a proper coach. Pity JM is at the bulls, he would have made them a proper team. Fleckie is way out of he's league. A proper 9 and 10 would have won most games for the Stormers.

Awful performance and heads needs to roll.
 
I doubt that the Sunwolves will win the next two games as most Japan eligible players are leaving to group up with the national camp alongside Jamie Joseph.

Cape Town - The South African Rugby Union (SARU) and the Golden Lions advised Western Province to not appoint John Mitchell as new Stormers coach.

SARU president Oregan Hoskins spoke to the Sunday Times where he revealed that he, and Golden Lions president Kevin de Klerk, warned the Capetonians to not appoint the New Zealander.

Thelo Wakefield, president of the Western Province Rugby Football Union (WPRFU), last week said Mitchell’s poor track record of people skills was the reason he was not appointed Stormers coach for next year’s Super Rugby competition.

The union’s Director of Rugby, Gert Smal, was keen to appoint Mitchell as Stormers coach but in the end had to settle for Robbie Fleck, who was named interim coach last weekend.

...

According Hoskins, WP made the right decision.

Strange that SARU and the Lions said nothing about him being appointed by the Bulls.
 
More good rugby (in atrocious conditions) in 3 minutes between the Blues and the Crusaders than in 80 from the previous game.

EDIT. Sorry, that's unfair on the Sunwolves

I find it strange that SARU and Lions would give such input as it's absolutely nothing to do with them but bad blood. Maybe they were afaraid Mitchell would put structures in place and make WP an proper outfit. I've never heard of Mitchell being a bully and mistreating players, it we don't know what happens in the background.

The only reason I heard Mitchell not joining the Stormers was that he wanted a long 3-5 year contract for he's family to make the move. WPRFU was not gonna give him such a long contract.

Maybe there is more to it then it actually is.

It's true though. These New Zealand teams are so good. In the rain they play this amazing running rugby.

For sure!! They play better rugby in the wet than we do in the dry!! That Stormers game was atrocious on so many levels!! Embarrassing performance.
 
Yoh, that was dumb. No way that is unintentional. Looks the tackler in the eye and straightens the leg.
