Stormers V Chiefs
-
BBBR is far from his usual form. Is he carrying an injury or is he just tired ? He did not seem too concerned by the game while Mitch Brown is too small for a lock. That second row was outplayed by Du Toit and Etzebeth and this is one of the reasons why the Chiefs played so badly today.

Retallick got through a mountain of work. There were a couple of times where he made hit up and then got up and made another one from the next ruck. Brown definitely shouldn't be playing lock.
Just finished watching the game, it was a nail biter, like a test match.
How good for Stevenson to come on and have his first touch of the ball scoring the winning try. I'm actually surprised he has been starting in this back end of the season.
I like how Cane talked Peyper into penalising Carr - every other captain is doing it these days so we may as well get on board.

He seems to cruise during Super Rugby and then really steps it up for the ABs. Was still pretty good though.

I've just watched the game myself. It was a scrappy match but the result is all that matters. Newlands looked heavy underfoot as a lot of players were slipping. No excuses for the dropsies though.
Brown was picked at lock on form according to the coaches, and he does have a high workrate. There was one tackle on a back out wide in the 2nd half which saved a certain try I reckon. Bird's form has fallen away from the start of the season but I would start him next week as we'll need that extra bulk.

Chiefs got the job done, but that's about it. Backline didn't gel.
Two gripes:- Waited in vain to hear, 'Beaver's on fire!'; and
- Recorded on new U.K. Sky Action. Watching this morn and out of the blue presenters state that if one wants to watch whole match they must push the red button NOW. WTF!!!! And no replay. Luckily was able to finish on YouTube.
Must one make some cunning plan when setting to record? Is this some underhand ploy to corral viewers into viewing live?

Fucked me right off too.
They can get fucked if I'm paying to be able to record, and then they can't deliver

@MiketheSnow I reckon we could get DoTW to write a letter and we could co-sign. @Disgusted-of-TW ?

@Bones I tweeted skysports rugby that I would only pay half the fee next month because I got half a game.

No problem, I have the quill permanently at the ready for just such consumer injustices. Just let me know whether you want wordy or pithy. Also, if they should send any compensatory stash (as if), it's only fair that I get first dibs.

Loved the result but I must say that I have real issue with players jumping into a tackle and winning a penalty.
When being reviewed it should only ever be reviewed in real time so the ref can see if there is time for the tackler to change. I also ask, what is the tackler supposed to do in that scenario? Just atnad still and get absolutely clobbered? In my mind the person catching is creating dangerous play.
On a more serious note, is Beaver ok for the Semi? I thought he played brilliantly

least mad-Monday can be postponed for another week!
