There's two sides to the argument, the other is who deserves to be picked at 10 ahead of Cooper right now? If Cooper had turned in some of the performances and mistake JOC (James O'Connor) has in the last two weeks, he would've been pilloried. Even Cooper's defence has been better than JOC (James O'Connor)'s for most of this...

Folau with a big smile on his face as he's interviewed by Kearns. Only real mistake from Folau was not kicking and trying to run it out from his own goaline and getting caught. Apart from that, his one kick was booming. Barnes was good when he came on - apart from his kicking game from...

Kafer says the kick won't matter as the Stormer's won't go 100m to score a try. Doesn't matter as Barnes kicks it. Tahs win 21 - 15 over a tough Stormers side who can defend but not attack.

Strong Tahs scrum and they earn a penalty. Kick to the corner or shot at goal? Shot at goal needs to go dead. I'd go for the corner and lineout. Barnes goes for goal.

Pieterson blows the kick off. If the Tahs collapse the first scrum, that's the game.

Barnes kicks it. 18 - 15, just 2 minutes to go. Surely the Tahs can't lose from here.

Caused by Habana running up, who had maybe been the Stormers best tonight.

Scrum steady, Tahs going close. Another advantage being player, Tahs 1m out and they go close a lot. Barnes to Folau, and he's in! Try Tahs! That's surely the game.

Tahs knock on, but had a penalty advantage. They take a scrum 5m out to the left of the posts.

Elstadt limping off now. Stormers lock on at flanker for the Stormers. Tahs win the lineout and work around the corner and the Tahs forwards rumble on. Strong runs from Ryan.

Lucas on for McKibbin, 8 to go. Stormers win the lineout, but Tahs drive them backwards and get a turnover as the Stormers knock on. Strong run from TPN gets 5m. Penalty advantage, ball goes wide, Douglas taps to someone who taps to Ryan who's away to a clear line.....but forward! Back...

Ouch, Vermuelen's knee is gone. Think he might need a reco there. And he knows it as he smacks the ground. Barnes' kicking has been A-grade shit. Mitchell with an average clearance from the mark to 45 out.

Horne knocks on under pressure, Devanage kicks to Barnes, Mitchell gets to halfway. Tahs now getting over the advantage line. Barnes kicks to the corner, too deep, and the Tahs pay. Barnes now kicks again from the 35, rubbish kick, Hababa chips, Tahs can't take it and knock on. Stormers on...

Stormers try to maul, Skelton gets in the way and forces Kolisi (?) to knock on.

Was 63 gone sorry. Bit of an unfortunate shot of Fatcat's "bulk" there. Stormers kick deep, Folau clears from his 22. Great kick, to about 37 out from the Stormers' line.

Pieterson kicks it, 15 - 11 53 gone. Folau knocks back the kick off, Barnes gets it. Ryan half break few phases later with a nice short pop pass and good line, Tahs get to 22 out but then go across field and knock on. Barnes been a bit of a spark so far.

Skelton on for Timani. Tahs attack has been too predictable, Stormers defence fantastic.

Tahs attack has been side to side, they haven't earnt the right to go wide. Stormers steal the lineout, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) gives away a penalty 40 out to the right. Tahs having issues, going nowhere.

Tahs stuck midfield, going nowhere for 10 phases before stoeln from Foley. de Jongh loses it, Douglas kicks ahead, Habana cleans up and makes the Tahs pay with a big kick. Barnes comes on, Foley off. Barnes at 10.

Habana nearly retakes the 22 drop, still has a ton of speed. Knocks on though. Chapman on for Palu.
