Stormers vs Blues

@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."

[Duluth]

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.

[Rebound]

Wtf. So what more evidence does Sanzaar want that SA refs in SA just don't work. Tmo looks at angle that clearly shows try being scored, tells ref want to view another angle. What for try was awarded
