Stormers v Blues

Dice

Can't complain too much with the line-up, although I was sneakily hoping to see Faiane and SBW in the midfield.

I thought Collins was going to start this week because they mentioned he was on the bench last week for rest, but it looks like he was just dropped.

This is a massive game for us. Even if we manage to scrape through with a win, we have to travel all the way back to face the Chiefs on a short turnaround. Two long flights in less than a week is pretty rough. Plus that game would be our 3rd short turnaround in the last 4 games.

Sad to see Faiane out. Would rather see him and Moala in the midfield together. Hope we don't lose Faiane as I feel that he should be our 12 for the next 5-10 years. Hopefully SBW begins to show his quality.

KiwiMurph

@African-Monkey Completely agree. Faiane last week was better than anything SBW has produced. He looks the goods. I think he is a good chance of sticking around with the Blues though - the Blues stuck by Faiane through two years of ACL injuries.

ACT Crusader

Yeah Faiane looked the goods in what has been a troublesome area (midfield) for the Blues this season.

I don't mind them starting SBW. You never know coming back from injury how long someone might last.

Also Moala hasn't been great shakes in the midfield either.

Tana looking for his two ABs to step it up.

@KiwiMurph @African-Monkey Fortunately for us, Faiane is signed until 2019, so we're not at risk of losing him anytime soon.

Looks like Gibson might be injured. Quelle surprise!

Bones

Parsons carry leads to turnover. Quelle surprise!

African Monkey

Shocking discipline from us so far.

Bones

God I can't stand the co-commentator that's doing this game. He's worse than Skinstad.

African Monkey

Oh man this could be a long night.

Bones

Blues destroy the stormers scrum after a good battle with the ref not even telling the stormers to use it, no penalty. Awful.

Bones

Kolbe doesn't have to release the ball on the ground because he's a midget. Fair.

African Monkey

Can Piers Francis stop kicking the fucken ball away

Sucked in Etzebeth. Long time coming.

Hell yes. Surprising to see him finally get done for his niggly borderline dirty shit.

KiwiMurph

SBW starting to warm to things.

KiwiMurph

Ridiculous call on Pulu there.

In saying that, no surprise who the scuffle was with...

KiwiMurph

@Bones Agreed. Akira needs to be careful with these refs.
