Jees, that's a harsh maul call against Neville. He called a maul as he hit the ground. I think the two turning points for me were bring on the bench at 55 minutes, and McIntyre's poor kick for goal around the same time. Stormers score after the full time hooter as the Reds just stopped...

Why sub a big 8 having a huge game for a small 7? Beggars belief, then subbing a dominant tight head right before a scrum is again so questionable. McIntyre still too lateral too often for mine. Nabuli just went close, but just forced into touch as he tried to get the ball down.

Yeah, shocking decision from the ref. I reckon the Reds coaches blew it by subbing some of their players at exactly the wrong time. Reds reserves have made a entirely the wrong impact. Paia'ua now on for Fainga'a.

Gunn gives away a stupid penalty 5m from the Reds line. Talakai now yellow carded for not 10 from the Stormers quick tap, Talakai reaction was shock. Replay showed the entire Reds team back 10, unfortunate.

Gorumaru is on, and immediately puts in a useless kick in good attacking position, Stormers reply from their 22 to the Reds 22. These subs from the Reds coaches have been woeful, would love to know what they are thinking. Really turned the game against their own team. Gorumaru's recent...

Strong Reds scrum but it wheels a bit and the Stormers 8 makes a lot of ground off the back. Chip kick into the 22, Frisby cleans up but the Stormers turn it over, then penalty against Frisby for off side. Stormers with another kick for goal, and they nail it. 30 - 22 with 10 to go, I'd...

Stormers kick the penalty and move to 27 - 22. Goal kicking may cost the Reds a bit, McIntyre has put in some shockers in recent weeks. Short restart from the Reds and it doesn't make the 10.

Scrum goes down, and the ref blows to the Stormers.

Browning makes another break off the ruck, gets the ball to Nabuli but they miss an opportunity there. Tui knocks on a few rucks later. I think if Nabuli went outside off the break they would have come close. And Browning is rewarded by being taken off. Unfortunate. Talakai also on for...

Horrible kick from McIntyre and the score remains 24 - 22 to the Stormers, 20 to go.

TH to the Reds scrum, lovely to see. Reds attack is going side to side before Kolisi gives away a penalty for not rolling away. McIntyre to kick at goal 35 out on an angle.

Neville on for Matwijow and Saia Fainga'a onfor Ready. 23 to go.

Stormers in beside the post after their halfback wasn't held, and dived over in a second go. A bit of average defence from the Reds. No pillar at the ruck allowed that try in. Stormers up 24 - 22 with 27 left.

22 - 17 to the Reds after a Kerevi break, then Nabuli in the corner. Great comeback from the Reds.

Quirk had a real presence at the breakdown in that game, which was great to see.

Gees, I'd forgotten that Burke played 13 for the Wallabies at the end of his career too, I remember it for the Tahs though. Mortlock at 15 and Burke at 13 just feels a bit weird.

The Brumbies had a lot of middle run centres (when Mortlock was constantly injured) / wingers over the years who Larkham made to look like world beaters.

Herbert played a few tests at 12 right at the tail end of his career, inside of Mortlock if I remember correctly. Herbert was replaced in one of his last tests at 12 by a young Matt Giteau, who came on and threw two passes straight onto the ground.

Don't think we'll win, but can't see the Stormers scoring a heap of points either.
