The myth? That all players need to be good defenders to have a good defensive team or maybe, that because the Stormers is a good defensive team it doesn’t necessarily mean that all the players are good defenders […]

Great first post PF. Glad you took the plunge.

Too often our backlines just shuffle across to be caught against the touchline with no-one looking to straighten the attack until it’s too late

I believe you have to pay to get full stats. Actually you must be a TryMaker Pro user.

Does any stats site?

Piet started moving as soon as Genia put his hands on the ball.

I suppose if you want to nitpick you can say the one Reds player’s foot was behind them and that they were fractionally off-side

I get enough flack from the Cheetahs supporters without going to look for more

But, no, as Genia puts his hands on the ball they were behind the ruck.

JdV,s (and the Stormers’ management) mistake wasn’t in going for tries so much as going for it too early before they had established dominance in the lineouts and with driving mauls. They just assumed they would […]

The Cheetahs won and won well but they were outplayed for possession and territory as well as on attack. Their points came from two individual efforts by Piet van Zyl and Elgar Watts’s boot, otherwise they never […]

You are obviously unaware the according to Rugby Stats Jantjies is the best defender in the Stormers backline with the least ineffective tackles and missing less tackles than Gio Aplon, Gary van Aswegen, Damian de […]

You’re right but the Highlanders isn’t the best defensive side. On the other hand, Morne is used to have someone like Meisiekind outside him who bash it up and pull in the defenders so the Bulls is sticking with […]

What pissed me off about these forward pass TMO decisions was the camera angles used for the decision but as soon as an overhead view is given in the replay afterwards the absurdity of the decision is clear. Why […]

I don’t think we will pull players from the Pumas and the Leopards as the Currie Cup 1st Division is in full swing by then.

According to a rules discussion on Rugby365 the TMO was not allowed to rule on the knockon, only on the foul play, as a try wsn’t scored. Only in the case of a try being scored can the TMO rule on things like […]

Well done Cheetahs.
