Stormers vs Blues

@Duluth my tip for this game was decided by a coin toss...

[KiwiMurph]

By all accounts Stormers are planning on really emptying the tank in this one with a bye for them coming up the week after.

I have a worrying feeling Blues may have a few more in the injury ward after this game.

You're much more confident than me

Stormers are on a good roll, the Blues will need some luck

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth the margin I picked was double that of the average result above too...

[pakman]

Blues have the cattle to give this a good shout. The challenge is that Stormers are a seasoned team and will jump on any Blues lack of composure/cohesion.

Highlights from the 2019 match vs Stormers

That Tele’a try was great. Anyone know when he’s due back?

Other than the Tele’a try the main thing I remember about that match was the stoppages the Stormers created. They were really concerned about their fitness last year

@Duluth I went to that game. Tele'a also got ref carded for taking a man out in the air. It was far tighter than the scoreline suggested,with our defence standing up to the task.

I was there too. Big Karl was motm for me

Funny that the often most maligned Blues around here all featured in that video (2 x Ioanes and SBW).

@nzzp Parsons was on the radio on Thursday and said that the best case scenario is he'll be out for 2 weeks. He still has to have an MRI when he gets back though, but the x-rays in SA showed that there was no fracture in his shoulder.

Some interesting stats:

The Blues and Stormers have faced each other 20 times and they're tied at 10 wins a piece.

Average score: Blues 25 Stormers 24.

Average score in Cape Town: Stormers 24 Blues 23

Any update on the Parsons injury? I haven't seen anything, but getting trampled by a couple of monsters didn't look good.

In the words of Basil Fawlty - "Let's hope it's nothing trivial."

Tuipulotu has made some huge hits this year

[Duluth]

Nice. Perofeta is dangerous from fullback

[KiwiMurph]

Nock is absolutely killing it (so far).

[Dice]

Nice pass by TJ to set up Dalton out wide.

Ridiculously good start by us.

[KiwiMurph]

Charitable of Rieko to gift the Stormers 7 points...

[KiwiMurph]

Here comes the Blues implosion.

Hmmm. Wish he’d made one on Kitshoff

[antipodean]

Rieko defending at centre... Doesn't look pretty.
