2011 S15 Semi Stormers vs Saders @ Newlands

[qwerty51]

Daley, Fainga'a and Holmes are covering their eyes watching this

 

[ChargerWA]

Fotual'il thinks he is an openside too now.

 

[qwerty51]

Dunno why he doesn't start, much better player than Ellis imo

Final is on Sat night right?

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Anyone else reckon the Stormers go off their feet at most breakdowns? With those charges into the ruck? I don't mind them, that's how rugby should be played but it's illegal.

Having a look at the last couple of breakdowns I'd agree they do this a bit, I think all teams do it from time to time, but your right.

 

[Nusadan]

Game virtually out of reach for Stormers, 29 to 10 now...

 

[Richard D. James]

Wow, this is a bit scary for the Reds...

He used to be a bit flakey, but I think he has got that out of his game now. Ellis has had a few good games though.

 

[ChargerWA]

Where has Aplon been tonight? MIA big time.

Right now Kaino and Mealamu are the only ones who could get into this side, not fair.

Not if you ask Marto who reckoned our "run had to come to an end" against the Stormers so I suppose he'd be happy the Reds are playing the Saders.

 

[Richard D. James]

Stuck on the wing. Some poor selections from the Stormers for this game.

.....very much a case of....anything you can do....we can do better. Saders clincial. Will the travel finally catch up with them next week in the final. A Bazillion kilometres gotta wear you down at some stage.

Flynn has been great, I rate him ahead of Mealamu.

 

[ChargerWA]

Stormers crowd leaving with 10mins to go.

The travel is the only thing I'm concerned about aswell as the Reds team itself.

 

[Moono75]

goal post got in the way of a pushover try

 

[qwerty51]

Will they go straight to Brisbane (via Perth or Sydney) or go home first?

 

[ChargerWA]

I think the Crusaders are just embracing the travel now. I don't think it is going to bother them.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Surprised, I thought the scoreline for this game would've been as tight as a fishes arse, happy to see it as it is though.

The Crusaders' ruck work is quite incredible. They get to the breakdown so quickly and are really efficient in clean outs. What a luxury to be a halfback playing behind a pack like this.
