@stodders Roos, Bongi, Asenathi Ntlabakanye is on the backup list. The other Stormers players are in good form, leading the URC log and still unbeaten after 5 rounds.

Wonder how Kevin Pieterson feels about that white South African clapping and celebrating after that penalty?

Bones

Defence is largely pathetic. Not sure that can be wholly pinned on JJ.

Give Robertson credit. The South Africa tour next year is obviously an identification of the desperate need to expose a large group of players to South African rugby

Yeah how could that not be anyone's first thought.

Saffa forwards make Numia look like an oompa loompa

Have you considered running an alternate commentary channel for rugby? Might be quit successful

Tim

Nice fast passing down the blindside.

Bones

Roe saving the day again. Best player in black this weekend probably.

Bones

Penalty try! Fucking hell

Removed the scrum and maul has let NZ back in this.

Tim

Penalty try. Tackled without ball.

Bones

Ref has decided because it's an exhibition match, he's going to do his Jordan Way impression.

Semisi Tupou Tae'iloa should've been picked for this tour over the worst Boshier brother

Bones

Jacomb really has gone backwards in the last couple of years.

Yeah, hardly proved any of the doubters wrong. I guess he's a good lineout target.

wtf kind of advantage was that

Bones

One fucking pass backwards and advantage over! Christ

Doesn't feel like there's many (or any) players in NZ atm that genuinely love smashing opposing players.

Seems everyone is so passive. Drives me nuts.

Petrified of cards.

geee George Dyer is getting smoked at scrumtime

Torian

That's my toko from the North shore/North Otago ๐Ÿ™‚

Bones

Retire white! White contests the kick area. Play on!

Bones

ABXV look a fair bit more lively now. Flanders has decided to start playing.

I'm crediting that to the injection of Withy.

nostrildamus

or Ennor coming onto the pitch and not being injured for at least 5 minutes

nostrildamus

19-19 at 59 minutes.

sure thing ref... just let them lie all over our side of the ruck

Bones

Why field a kick on your 40 and immediately turn and kick without even getting eyes up? In a baabaas game? When the opposition are tiring?

Fuck NZ rugby really is lacking in brainpower, in crucial positions.

Overcoaching?

Bones

JRK needs to show a lot more to prove he's worthwhile too.

Victor Meldrew

Huge gap on the left....JRK throws a shit pass.
