Its not brilliant by any means but it’s far better than the English final earlier today.

It’s very physical, but conditions are difficult and possession changing hands a lot. Not what you’d expect from two South African teams. Like they seem determined not to play the conditions:

How on earth did Brace miss Roos joining that maul illegally?! He had to run in front of Brace and hit it at a incredible speed so don’t know how his eyes wouldn’t have been drawn to him, then joined ahead of the ball carrier AND at the side. Crazy.

Don’t play the 9 says Brace as he plays the 9.

FT: Stormers 18-13 Bulls. And sure isn't that good for the URC, as we wouldn't want the Bulls dominating?---

Brace was notable by his total absence. Missed virtually everything of note

Very enjoyable second half, both sides going hammer and tongs at it.

Stormers deserving winners.

I enjoyed it. But mad at times but a very physical game with a lot of drama.

Ah ok. I shouldn't really have commented as I didn't watch it. Well done Stormers.

Happy that the Stormers won, they actually try to play expansively at times. Bulls are a very negative teams and Jake White is an unpleasant person.
