I disagree the commentator highlighted that it seemed to not come from set piece so much certainly didn't diminish how amazing they where xD That number 8 turn over was epic!!!!!!!
um great opportunism , not really any sustained blah blah blah. just another reactionary haha. sounds like its from the saints tv channel or something so to be expected
I don't know that the Stormers played a very good game. That score flattered them immensely. As the announcers alluded to the Stormers made an immense number of scores from opportunities just handed to them by the Saints. If there is a compliment to be made the Stormer have some players with immense pace and can finish when given the opportunity. But it wasn't like many of there scores were a result of build up, territory and pressure by them. Northhampton gave that game away.
Stormers won, but I'm still disappointed by how they played. But! Damn is Dayimani fast, he was running like a backline player to get that try. Nicely done
What a game, watching it in mute mode and wow, fast, accurate kicking and solid passing... Stormers were amazing, especially the speed that they were playing at. Its the style England wants and has yet to have for full 80mins.
The negativity around the scrums from these commentators where astounding. No wonder we waste most teams at scrum time because SA have to right attitude towards scrums. NZ and Eng commentators want to watch rugby league with no scrums.
The Stormers have now beaten the top ranked French club and top ranked English club away (I know it’s an exhibition match, but a nice moral victory at least). Also managed to beat the current Heineken Champions at home. Hopefully we can get Leinster too (don’t know why we hardly ever play them).
No we play Leinster once a season. There are 18 games where 6 are local derbies both home and away. The other twelve matches are played against every other tournament club. Now what I have seen URC is doing, is in the next season every home game will be played away and every away game will be played at home. Home games from this season will be played away next season and vice versa
Just a friendly. Giving the Saints some game time after a relatively quiet period of rugby for them. They are currently top of their Gallagher Premiership Log.
I think the ref probably missed some on both sides but I am annoyed by this commentator. Seriously biased and blatantly so. I am seriously irritated. Yes we get you are an English rugby supporter and a Northampton Saints supporter but your commentary should be, as far as possible, unbiased and fair. Every time he spoke it was saying something good about the saints and somewhat critical of the Stormers. Well we silenced him in the way we know how. With the ball.
These commentators are bitter and they don't anything about turnover ball. Springboks are 2 time RWC Champions because how good they are at turnover ball.
pisses me off when the ref allows a play to continue and then the advantage team knocks the ball on their play, then the ref proceeds to go back to the initial hands in loose ruck before all of this started.???? This does not make sense at all. So the saints got a free try from stommers 5 meter line.
Good to give the fringe players from both sides an opportunity to stretch the legs. Proper exhibition match but my word were the commentators awful. As if Gelant gifting the first try of the match wasn't the softest of tries this entire match and as if the Saints tries were brilliantly "constructed" scores...
the rugby was class to watch but god was the commentary dismal. it’s supposed to be informative and amplify what’s going on in the game. not for them to sulk and undermine everything the opposing team does
What an atrocious commentator. For a 12 try game, you'd swear it was a boring game. Every try stormers score, absolute negative dribble. Please keep this bellend away from commentating again
