Hunt didn't last long 😂

Is he off contract this year? I wonder if he is leaving the Highlanders?

I thought he was on contract until 21, but could be making it up. Even if he is, he should look for a release. He's a much, much better player than his use at the landers would suggest.

WTF is going on the Landers with their loosies?

Frizzell looks the business this year and is benched for Lucky Luke who is far below his usual baseline performance, and Hunt is in the wilderness. Maybe he's signed with the Crusaders?

Anypoint watching games in SA anymore?

I predict the Stormers to win the penalty count

[Stargazer]

Great line-out steal from Parkinson.

[Stargazer]

Arrrgghh, so close!

[Stargazer]

Try Senatla? On-field decision is try, but checking whether Senatla was offside.

[Stargazer]

Geez, this TMO is also a cheat. Shows only one angle (a bad one) and says Senatla was onside. Ref asks for another angle and that one shows that Senatly was clearly offsied. Bloody hell; glad that Berry learned from last week's farce.

[Stargazer]

Hope Tom Franklin is okay. Head clash.

[Stargazer]

Another Stormers' try going to the TMO to check the grounding.
That's okay. Try awarded.

Stomers lead 5 - 3 with the kick to come.

[Stargazer]

I find it a bit strange that Franklin wasn't taken off for a HIA.

[Stargazer]

Matt Faddes, what the heck?

[Stargazer]

TMO checking Faddes' tackle. Tip tackle, Stormers' player landing on his head. Not much force in it.

Yellow.

[Stargazer]

Stormers' fans booing; obviously wanted red.

It will be interesting to see whether it will be a citing. May depend on whether the citing commissioner is South African?

[Stargazer]

DLB injured.

[Stargazer]

DLB stays on the field after some treatment of his knee. Or maybe he just needed to catch his breath.

[Stargazer]

Damn. Try Kolisi.

[Stargazer]

Highlanders are missing too many tackles.

[Stargazer]

Hollinshead comes on for Faddes.

[Stargazer]

Struggling to stay awake. I'll watch the 2nd half in the morning.

Fresh Meat here

I watched the game and I was very disappointed with the Landers

In the space of a month, they've gone from an ascending team primed to make playoffs to a side who need BP wins & some favours to make Top 8

SA teams & Jaguares have exposed some limitations in Landers

0pts from 2 games in SA is diabolical
