Match thread
Stormers
The two Smiths are pretty incredible players - tidy things up and create and make it all look pretty easy.
Throw Barrett into the mix and the Lions are going to have their hands full (and that AS might not even get to start).
so call from Jacko - the balls out
a hand form the Stormers grabs it back into ruck, Highlander who came round when he said out, Jacko tells him to leave it...
@taniwharugby common sense prevailed, bugger the law book, he knocked it on....

@Gunner although he has never lost contact with the ball...
Should be a try then
22.1 Grounding the ball
Grounding the ball
There are two ways a player can ground the ball:
(a) Player touches the ground with the ball. A player grounds the ball by holding the ball and touching the ground with it, in in-goal. ‘Holding’ means holding in the hand or hands, or in the arm or arms. No downward pressure is required.12
(b) Player presses down on the ball. A player grounds the ball when it is on the ground in the in-goal and the player presses down on it with a hand or hands, arm or arms, or the front of the player’s body from waist to neck inclusive.
Oh fuck, how's that a high tackle, the guy had fallen so much he was almost sitting on the ground.

Highlanders luck there. Naholo clearly off his feet for the turnover.
Yep
Tits for hands Fekitoa.
Landers doing their best to keep the Stormers hot on attack.
As I type, they go the length...
It's the Highlanders night for sure.
@taniwharugby said in Highlanders v Stormers:
Stormers have had zero luck in NZ so far, and getting reamed for it!
I don't think they have played too badly even though they have been dealt two thrashings.
I think that try was the first time th e ball had been out of the Clan's half in the second half.
