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

[Duluth]

The Highlanders defence in the middle of the field made some basic errors. Plenty of easy clean breaks for the Stormers.

The Highlanders ill discipline cost them again. Although the penalty count was even its where/when they conceded them that was important.
The whining from Whitelock and Smith would have made it enjoyable for the Saffa fans

A good game from Berry. He's still early in his career but he'll over take Gardner as the best Aussie ref soon
