SuperRugby: Stormers v Waratahs. 19/05/2012

[Cave Dweller]

Maybe because they get a wet Newlands everytime with these 7pm kicks offs. Pietersen ran 4 meters dived in for a try and slit about 7 meters. C'mon Sker you of all people should know how wet the grass is this time of the year. Yet they keep on giving the Stormers the late kick offs. Only 1 5pm kick off in natural light and they banged in 3 4th was denied by TMO. Then they force teams to conceding penalties where they take the opportunity. That is spoiling tactics by the opposition.

It's a little boy *****ing about his team playing after bedtime. Nothing serious.

Hey, that was quite a mouthful, but I guess you're used to that sort of thing.

Tbh Cave Dweller the Stormers are still playing below par rugby, I love them, they're my team. But they have much much more potential. I don't know where the blame lies, with the coaching or with the players. Being really really great at defending, doesn't mean you're allowed to be really **** at attacking.

Top of the log. Won 10 lost 1 and the no 1 defense in the competition. It is hard to play expansive rugby when your facing the Force after a torrential storm, yesterday it rained earlier and the dew not helping. Just have a look at the 7pm games compared to the 5pm games and see the difference. See how many bonus points the teams got in them. They did not have the luxury of playing a Reds team ridden with injury as they faced a almost full strength one, they beat the Highlanders away and lost only to the Crusaders. What more do you want more?

I cannot believe someone is actually blaming the starting time of the match for his team not scoring enough tries. Stormers are a good team but lack variety on attack from the backline. It's a team that builds on a tight defense and the kicking of Grant. It has nothing to do with playing matches at 7.

Sharks put 4 past the Blues in poor conditions.
I blame the Bulls, controlling the weather and making the WP backline look like a bunch of poofs.

You seem to use these types of insults regularly.. Have you an issue with homosexuality or something?

Even the Bulls Brumbies game. The Bulls scored only 2 tries. . Cheetahs vs Stormers 3T both late kick offs.Do anyone know why the formatting of the posts keep on messing itself up?

I think its called a CUMBACK? Almost like the one above you scraped from the back of your throat.I did not mention homosexuality. You are the one that keep mentioning it so you got to ask yourself that.

Your ridiculous little opinion has been noted.

While Cave Dweller is a pretty aggressive poster and his points get lost amongst his fury, I agree on the timing of kick off thing. In NZ we always get games at 7.30pm in winter (to appease the TV gods) and the quality of games suffers. Always cold and dewy which makes for worse rugby and colder supporters. I blame this as much as anything for dwindling crowd numbers.

Back inthe '90s a lot of Super 12 games (and tests) were played in the afternoon in NZ. It was a lot better as a supporter as you could come down from say Palmerston North or Napier to watch a Hurricanes game in Wellington at 2.30pm and still get home at a reasonable time. The rugby was of a way better quality as the ball/ground would be dry. Better for everyone all round. I'm sure the Northern audiences would rather watch a better quality game that has been delyaed rather than watching a kick fest live. I still can't work out how they haven't figured that out yet. What else are people doing on Sat afternoons? I'd way rather go to a game during the day than at night anyway.

lol I am not agressive just tossing the ball back that was thrown to me. But anyways. Thank you someone who understand the dew factor. I can not say how the NZ away games looked if its cloudy or not but it always looked cold and overcast over there. For the 15:00 time slots we had them in the CC and earlier years and that slot and the 17:00 slots always produce some entertaining stuff. But the dew not many teams are going to throw it around. Ok maybe NZ teams but SA players do not do well in the wet. I really don't know how they worked that one out but the Stormers had only 1 game in a earlier slot. The Force game as well. They got there just after a massive storm.

Yeah thanks to a ref who awarded try like these

Great attacking play there

If that try was disallowed, we'd still have 3 tries in Auckland, in wet conditions.

Cave Dweller won't know this as he has numerously mentioned he's a ******...
