The "other" round 5 Super Rugby games
-
@Damo I think Singapore is their second home to limit the travel for SA teams. Part of the reason why they agreed to the Sunwolves joining Super Rugby.
@Stargazer OK, but that's gotta wear thin if there's Bugger all interest in the team.

I've had it with these 3 minute TMO reviews. Can understand why people aren't interested in watching.

Come on Stormers! Don't give the Sunwolves a justification for their presence in Super Rugby!

Stormers didn't pick a team to demolish them unfortunately. Will be another case of sneaking across the line by the look of it

I don't know. It's entertaining but the quality looks pretty poor to me. Worst I've seen the Stormers defend all season. I mean Robert du Preez is nearly 1.9m, had tons of time and the touch line to push him into touch and didn't nearly manage it.
If the Stormers were playing the Chiefs it'd be 27 - 0 to the Chiefs.
Knocked the ball on 3 times in a row leading up to that Sunwolves try... and then knock on AGAIN immediately after the restart. Atrocious. I think people are just excited to see the Sunwolves actually do something.

@cheetahsBO Yeah fair points. However it's very entertaining for a neutral.
-
Sunwolves in again from their own half! Leading 31 - 20.
And Bjorn Basson showing us why EVEN THE BULLS didn't want him anymore.
-
Referee wastes another 2 minutes checking a contest in the air. Nothing comes of it.
Feels like I'm watching an NFL game with all these stoppages
-
Stormers needed brawn to get them home in the end. Embarrassing more then anything I'd say even if they did win by 13 (so not to ruin everyone's multi's). Handful of good performances thrown in alongside terrible ball handling, shocking defence by Bulls imports Kriel & Basson and nothing innovative to show us they will compete against better sides.
Pick-and-go won't work against anybody else except maybe the Kings. Really embarrassed to have watched that and I look forward to the Lions giving me some faith in SA rugby again later on.

Sanzar deserve a bullet.
Japanese TMO says "not offside" "can award a try" in broken English to an Argentinian whose English isn't much better. Referee says "okay no try".
Idiotic at best

I couldn't believe that. Surely the video ref could have told him he had misunderstood when he went to the penalty.
