Stormers vs Blues

Highlights from the 2019 match vs Stormers

That Tele’a try was great. Anyone know when he’s due back?

Other than the Tele’a try the main thing I remember about that match was the stoppages the Stormers created. They were really concerned about their fitness last year

@Duluth I went to that game. Tele'a also got ref carded for taking a man out in the air. It was far tighter than the scoreline suggested,with our defence standing up to the task.

I was there too. Big Karl was motm for me

Funny that the often most maligned Blues around here all featured in that video (2 x Ioanes and SBW).

@nzzp Parsons was on the radio on Thursday and said that the best case scenario is he'll be out for 2 weeks. He still has to have an MRI when he gets back though, but the x-rays in SA showed that there was no fracture in his shoulder.

Some interesting stats:

The Blues and Stormers have faced each other 20 times and they're tied at 10 wins a piece.

Average score: Blues 25 Stormers 24.

Average score in Cape Town: Stormers 24 Blues 23

Any update on the Parsons injury? I haven't seen anything, but getting trampled by a couple of monsters didn't look good.

In the words of Basil Fawlty - "Let's hope it's nothing trivial."

Tuipulotu has made some huge hits this year

[Duluth]

Nice. Perofeta is dangerous from fullback

[KiwiMurph]

Nock is absolutely killing it (so far).

[Dice]

Nice pass by TJ to set up Dalton out wide.

Ridiculously good start by us.

[KiwiMurph]

Charitable of Rieko to gift the Stormers 7 points...

[KiwiMurph]

Here comes the Blues implosion.

Hmmm. Wish he’d made one on Kitshoff

[antipodean]

Rieko defending at centre... Doesn't look pretty.

[KiwiMurph]

Gee Rieko has added a lot today....

[Duluth]

Self inflicted 7 points

Nocks shitty pass got them down here, Karl penalised for boring in yet again then Rieko’s defence

[KiwiMurph]

What the fuck was that from Ofa. Seriously

[Duluth]

Classy touch from Rieko in that try

He’s half of a good centre

[KiwiMurph]

Yeah i'll give Rieko credit there very nice hands.

Perofeta is having a monster game.
