Thanks bud for the lineups! Finally Alofa Alofa going to play the game, yeaaaaaaaah

 

[SomeOke]

Well I hesitate to be confident at all after losing over 9000 games in a row but the Tahs line-up looks less threatening in terms of creativity in the backline, will come down to which forward pack fronts up. I don't know how but I'm still exited for the game!

 

[iINDOMINUSxx]

here does anyone know when Israel Folau is back ? so i can put him back into my fantasy team thinking about it as i need to make 6 changes for next week

 

[RoosTah]

Sick of seeing refs win games for the South African teams - hope the tahs, crusaders and chiefs all get up.

 

[Jaguares]

Amazing try of one phase by Van Wyk!

here does anyone know when Israel Folau is back ? so i can put him back into my fantasy team thinking about it as i need to make 6 changes for next week

There were rumors that he was coming back today, so I think he'll be back next game

 

[RoosTah]

Pretty telling that this match the Tahs won with a neutral referee.

 

[Draggs]

Stormers were headless, absolutely clueless. On paper they should be a very competent side. They've been a conservative but competitive side for the past few years, what has happened?

Hello, Pot. Refs have won games for the Australasian teams as well; Stormers and Cheetahs have had terribe calls against them on tour.

On the game though I actually hope we end up bottom of the table this year. Maybe then we'll stop with the 1/2 measures. Something is seriously wrong when for every year you are the team scoring the least tries and have the biggest injury lists;

[Draggs]

Sorry Stormer, but every team gets buggered with injuries. We lost our top halfbacks by a long shot within ten minutes of each other, and our only established second row a few days earlier. Our only legitimate outside centre missed most of last season and past few weeks this year.

I think that the CC win in 2012 might have been counterproductive. AC was not a popular man before it, with failure in 2010/11/12, including a bad lose knockout loss to the Sharks in the S15. The win gave him legitimacy, only to revert to type in 2013. I'd argue the same with Plumtree too.

 

[Gena_ZA]

Even the most Bias ref on earth could not have made the Stormers win and that was pretty obvious now right?
Stormers on an all time low at the moment

In all honesty, there need to be a complete management clean-out, starting with that lazy fat donut face the CEO.
The appointment of Gert Small was encouraging, let's see where it leads to.
I have no problem if we come right bottom this year, as long as it leads to positive changes going forward
