I’m thinking the same. We look so sloppy with all the basic errors costing us. Just need to tighten up
We're playing a bit more than we are normally. I think it's a mixture of us having lots of ball but facing a big pack that isn't giving up much ground on the hard carry and us also trying to break the resolve of the young Stormers early and then holding on well.

John Dobson is a clever coach, rotated side this is but weak side it is not.

Worst of all worlds, getting turned inside out against a "B" side and picking up key injuries ahead of some actually important games to our season. :smt013
No, not that one!

Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Some dubious decisions in a match against a Welsh region if I'm not mistaken?
If he didn't before he's gaining some at the moment...
This is Brace, isn’t it?

He is certainly getting lots of knocks on wrong.
its not Brace he's French and he's just been moaning about the amount of injuries ...

No, not Brace. Some French ref called Tarantini or something.

I feel like its going to boil over between Jasper and the Stomers No4, they've clobbered each other a couple times and you can see they're both unhappy

If they weren't injuring all our players it might be prudent to hook him early but we'll be lucky to still have 15 on their feet at the end...

You'd think the Stomers are the team that are used to playing in wet conditions
