S15R14 Blues vs Stormers @ Eden Park - 2011R14

[Nusadan]

I thought the Stormers were done 10 minutes go.

Argh, just missed an easy conversion.

19-18 after 62 minutes.

Still waiting for that conversion...must be delayed online streaming...

The Stormers line-out has been absolutely terrible...Deon Fourie has not had a good night.

 

[Nusadan]

See that ref almost get rucked and then buried?

 

[Godfrey]

Stormers score on full time with the kick to come!

 

[minorbird]

Wow. Great win from the Stormers!

 

[Godfrey]

Stormers 1 point ahead with seconds to go!

That win was as good as the Crusaders win against the Stormers.

Really up against it with injuries and a card.

Excellent win.

Umm, choke anyone?
Great second half Stormers, and some very ordinary decision making and option taking by the Blues towards the end.
Huge win for the Cape Town boys. Well done.

Stormers deserved that. Blues lacked in 2nd.

 

[Nusadan]

The Blues kicker must be wanting to kill himself, missing a 3 pt sitter with around six mins to go....would have created a 8 pt buffer had he made it...

Great game in the wet.

Great win. Great to see a New Zealand team who is flogged in terms of possession and territory get beaten. Normally they get up on the back of flukey tries.

 

[whatty]

For once I am speechless!!! Wow and against sooo many odd.

 

[Victorian Reds Fan]

Burger is a gun. Simply unbelievable player.

 

[kiap]

Huge result for the Stormers!

(and Crusaders, Reds, ...)

Great turnaround. I enjoyed the intent the Stormers had in attack (whilst exicution wasnt that good), players like Burger, Aplon and the two centers stood up.

Burger is a gun. Simply unbelievable player.

He went alright, made a few handling errors. I really like the look of Rynhardt Elstadt. Cannot believe De Jongh isn't the normal starter. JdV is somewhat past it.

Nice comment, about in line with expection to be honest VFR.

Great game of rugby and kudos to the stormers for not giving up. DeJongh was unstoppable in the middle which ompletely turned the game on it's head. I thought the blues had it won after Turner's try, but the Stormers never lacked belief. Full credit to Schalk & the Stormers, a hell of a win on the back of adversity.

Blues have got the wobbles!

EDIT: Just realised the the Stormers NZ trip they really have been a one half team! Put first half in Hamilton & second half in Auckland and you've got an unstoppable team!

The Stormers midfield of de Jongh and Sadie was so good, scary good considering that Fourie and de Villiers are both out. What I would do to have even one of these four at the Tahs...
What I found impressive is that the Stormers, despite initial troubles, looked quite good when they strung consecutive phases together when they kept the ball in hand. Their pack is full of strong ball runners, and with the aforementioned midfield, they are going to be a tough team if they can keep this form up.

Reckon Januarie was a bit worried when his kick after the siren bounced in goal? And Deon Fourie seems likely to get a touchup from Bekker after his throwing effort.

Hell of a comeback, full credit to the Stormers. How about the kicked metres stat at half time, Blues almost 500m, Stormers about 80m. I thought they were rooted after Cronje went off.
