Stormers vs Cardiff URC 2026 Quarters

Thomas with a saving steal for Cardiff to end the half. Not sure if I'll watch the second.

Sloppy Stormers

Cant understand why the 10 doesn’t do these clearance kick…..horrible clearance by Cardiff 9.

WTF did Roos just do? He insane?

There it is the Manie Libbok lucky packet, this time the timing wasn’t perfect. A very dumb move there…..not a tactic to be used near your 22, if ever.

The Bulls were playing much better rugby than the Stormers….less aimless kicking, more pace in their moves

The game is slipping....

Moerat WTF?

Better.

Not a great game, the Stormers should win easily. Not sure what happened to Sasha.

Sacha injured his leg when he scored his try...hope it's only precaution.

MY TV is on the blink - did the Stormmers win?

We're still struggling to Mike....34-21 now.

Weird number of obstruction overrules in today’s games

Willemse shows why he is a fullback…saved tries at least twice today

Stormers is like a pretty girl with no personality. Every one of our sides have their own charm: the Sharks their perplexing incompetence, the Lions their underdog flair (which I hope we see today for a change) and the Bulls their dogged efficiency with flashes of beauty, but the Stormers is just a frustrating case of promise and potential looking for an identity while drowning in confusion.

There it is…Stormers to the semis

Pakie the Stormers lost their personality went Gelant disappeared.

That's not a bad take actually.

Bulle clearly our no.1 team ... WP 2 ... guppies3 ... Lions4

Only caught the last few minutes. How bad is Sacha's injury?

Lions are way better than the Sharks and probably the Stormers Blobbie, they just stopped doing what worked for them all season. Guess conditions in the overseas make it more difficult to execute but they've been playing some dumbass rugby. Let's say under local conditions, them and the Bulls will be fighting it out for top spot.

The stormers pack works well. Mchunu is in seriously good form and definitely a front-runner for the Springbok Loose head spot.

He is excellent in the loose, and his Scrum power has improved tremendously. DW is really at home at fullback and a solid option for the Boks.

The Stormers lock pairing of Ruben van Heerden and Adre' Smith is also in excellent form. Overall, it was a good performance, but our defense needs some work. Congrats, Stormers.

"Lions are way better than the Sharks and probably the Stormers Blobbie, ..."

Not eve close...they stopped doing what they were doing because it's too difficult to reprise on that level....you do know the Stormers crossed the tryline 4 or 5 times more...2 disallowed tries and 2 held ups?....then a few rediculous calls by the ref...we were lethargic and poor in this match, but the potential is there...even when we play poor....the Lions need to fire on all cylinders to beat anyone of the big boys...they need a wee bit more depth... hopefully they can build on this season...they were a pleasant surprise this season...

Late seasons Lions, fair enough Draad, but they handily beat the Stormers earlier this year and the Sharks twice. For a team with so little depth it's not easy losing a talismanic player like Ruan Venter - think Stormers without Sacha, Sharks without Andre. He was the bite of the team.

I don't think they stopped playing their game because it was too difficult to reprise. More thoughts later when I have time.

Agreed. The Lions just don't have the budget for a good second string..

With their best side playing, they hammered Glasgow. And they won the SA shield.

But loosing Mills, Oosthuizen, Venter, Crappies, Mills and Asenathi...it hurt them a lot.

I did see an article this week that said they are looking at leaving Ellis Park and going to move to Wanderers. I refuse to go to Ellis Park and so do most fans. But if they were at Wanderers I'd probably go to most games.

Pakster complaining about the Stormers repeatedly smacks of bias. Very one eyed!
