Super 15: Stormers vs Sharks. Newlands Stadium (3/3/2012, 17:10 GMT)

And still, he is not suited to be a scrum-half in SH rugby because he is too slow on recycling the ball. He gets tackled way too often. Compare him to Sarel Pretorius, Francois Hougaard and Fourie du Preez when it comes to quick recycling of the ball and you see why we struggle

The French scrum half is much different than scrum halves around the world. They are often seen as the playmaker instead of the 10, and usually the goal kicker. Look at Yachvili, he is hardly known for his quick service, but fits in well with the French team.

So, does this make him a better fly-half than scrum-half, or a better fly-half than scrum-half just in the southern hemisphere?

Why can't people (not speaking about anyone on this forum) remember that Michalak was far out of favour when he came to Durban last year?

Hearing more of this 'Superugby is better than northern hemisphere rugby, cos' Michalak is being sh*te' and all that phuckwittery. Forgot how much the sports pages grated me.

yeah but those idiots can't really compare SH rugby with NH rugby and the tournaments because there are A LOT of different factors to take into account...

WTR to Michalak, my honest opinion is that, SH rugby doesn't fit with him and he will be better suited playing up north, even though his ball skills could be compared to many gritty SH/FH in the SH...

40 minutes left until Keegan Daniel completes the first game with untwatish behaviour in... a long time ago, in a point in space far, far away*...



*Relative to distances on earth, not atrological ones of course.

Pietersen's goal kicking has gone to the dogs today.

 

[Gavin]

Habana has now started falling over a lot now and generally complaining to the referee. Has been a habit of his over the past year.

 

[Seaton]

Ah well, figured Keegan wouldn't make it, still a twat.

My interest in the Sharks further wanes, can't even say I am even bothered about the crappy performance today.

Still don't understand how the guys on Sharksworld rate Chadwick as a good scrummager, don't think much of Herbst being that good either.

Close game, didn't enjoy it that much. But I was right last week that this year the Stormers will be on top of the table in the SA conference.

.. just glad for the log points. Can't say much else..

 

[Gena_ZA]

agreed, both tried vey hard to loose this one

 

[TRF_heineken]

This was by far the most boring game of the last 2 weeks (with the Bulls vs Sharks last week a close 2nd)... I swear I dozed off 3 times in each half...

Welcome back Peter Grant!

Very glad to see Joe Pietersen back in SA. I always liked this oke. At the moment he is our best 15 by far. Etsebeth is also putting his hand up. What are the stormers gonne do when Elstadt is fit. Maybe the Bulls must do some shopping.

I was quite surprised about the Stormers pack. According to reports they got smashed by weaker opposition in all there warm-up games. Did they played badly on purpose or did they just improved sine then?

I seriously don't know what Koster did to recieve MOM trophy. Etsebeth, Kolisi and Pietersen where the stormers best performers.

Bismarck should really check his disipline and temper. After 2 weeks of play I would say that Strauss and Chilli are better than him.

"Maybe the Bulls must do some shopping." neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

All I could think during the final 20 minutes was "Why not try to cross the freaking line? Why just take 3 points?"

At some stages we had the momentum to go all the way. Man, losing this match is worse than last week
