Go through the phases burn a minute. Get an advantage or go back.
And again off scrum advantage.

Good contest.

We should've easily won that. Too many errors at key moments.

Stormers are limited enough.

Top of the log secured which is the main thing.

Well managed lads, we could’ve won that, but a good tough test versus a very strong Stormers side. A draw’s a good result.

I really enjoyed that!!!

Great result that. Fantastic atmosphere and attendance in awful conditions. The best league strikes again.

Good comeback from 0-17 but a pity HB was 1/5.
Nice seeing Connors chopping down fellas for fun. Moloney was my MOM.
I would've liked to have seen that 10 get a proper seeing to.

Happy with that.

A loss by a penalty or a drop goal would still have been enough as ties are broken by wins, we have 15 and most the Stormers could have was 14.

That was great entertainment. Job done, unlucky not to win it. The multiple side line conversions in the gale cost us but them is the breaks. Poor ref needs to go back to junior rugby for a few years, totally lost out there.

Milne is a real talent.

All the worry about the scrum beforehand turned out to be moot.

Yeah happy with that alright. Very unlucky not to win it, as everyone pointed out, given the joke shop officiating and HB hitting the post. But I'll take that karma later in the season, feels like we had no luck last year.

He did really well to be fair, thought he had a huge game.

Harry also did well. Still plenty to improve upon and mixed some meh in with the good, but overall I though he looked really good.

That was a great game, two really entertaining games against Saffers this year.

We actually increased the gap over Stormers even though it was a draw.
