Joe Pieterson scores a try in the 2nd minute of the game and converts his try 7-0
Petoors crocked already. I TOLD reki she was being optimistic given him 4 rounds 🙂
Go Stormers! Go Joe P.
Go Claytie! Is Morne there too?
It is HOT in Newlands
@robdylan (Comment 2) : Nah, apparently he is baby sitting 😈
Tiaan Liebenberg fields the ball on the wing and breaks down the line, makes good ground pops to Vermuelen who gets the ball to Bekker.Try
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 5) : Pop was actually a chip
Tiaan Liebenberg Try
Stormers are on fire…. Bekker in the tries already 🙂
Force pack must be soft enough that it doesn’t matter if he plays wing.
@robdylan (Comment 2) :
Articles during th week were saying that AP would NOT start this game but will probably start against the Sharks.
Pretorius start doubtful
2010-01-21

Cape Town – Springbok flyhalf André Pretorius is unlikely to be in the Western Force’s starting line-up for Saturday’s friendly match against the Stormers at Newlands.
While the visitors from Australia have no intention of announcing a starting team before the game, Sport24 has learned that there is a better chance that Pretorius will feature from the start against the Sharks on Tuesday.
Pretorius trained with his Force team-mates on Thursday afternoon. It was noticeable that he used a kicking tee as opposed to sand, with which he kicked over the years.
“It’s nice to be back in the Cape because the people are rugby mad here,” said Pretorius.
“I actually kicked with a tee for the first time against the Force (for the Lions) last year because I struggled with sand against the Chiefs. I now use a tee, but you never know!”
Pretorius, 31, does not even want to discuss a possible Springbok recall.
“My focus is nowhere but the Super14 with the Western Force. You will be ineffective if that is not your approach. The team’s aspirations should come ahead of any individuals,” he said.
“I am completely out of my comfort zone. I was at the Lions for 11 years and everything is now about getting out of my comfort zone and getting my game to the desired level. I have high expectations. We worked hard in the pre-season,” he said.
Pretorius had made a significant lifestyle change after his move to Perth from Johannesburg.
“There was a big change in lifestyle and it’s an improvement,” he said.
“You go to the beach after training and have your recovery sessions in the ocean. I’m not used to anything like that!”
Aplon breaks down the line, Bekker gets ball to Aplon who broke down the line and fed Liebenber for the try.21-0.
Force looking pretty useless.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 9) : His name is on the match programme,anyhoo.No biggy,they are bad so far.
Follow the twitter updates
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 12) :

@provincejoulekkading (Comment 13) :

Stormers wearing white, I see…

@robdylan (Comment 16) :
It’s that jersey with the signatures on. Say what you like but that IS a good looking jersey.
Joe P, drops a standard issue pass received from the base of the [email protected]KSA Shark © (Comment 15) : 😳
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 19) :
So Joe P is a twit? 😛
Who passed the ball to make Joe P look like a twit, was he the Twitter?
Joe P gets another, decides to not to give Habana any glory just yet, rounds everyone and goes under the sticks
31-0
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 21) :
is there such a word as un-twit? He just un-twitted himself. 😉
Aaaaaaand now its Peter Grants turn, come now, Goodwood 3rds woulda put up more of a fight
Dankie Kleitie, Tyd?
@PaarlBok (Comment 25) :
twintig voor ses. 😛
Ek bedoel wat hulle al speel!
Stormers maul and Habana gets his first try in Stormers jersey, much to the crowd of 18k d’s delight
@PaarlBok (Comment 27) :
One of the players over here and I have been trying to set that scenario up during a match for ages.
He either forgets to ask me the time or I forget to tell him the actual time instead of the time remaining. 😳
Player: Time please ref:
Ref: twenty to six.
@PaarlBok (Comment 27) : 41-0 Oom, 38 minutes
Bliksem maar hulle kook ne! 😯
Half time.Ill b back
Wat het die B span teen Maties gemaak?
@PaarlBok (Comment 31) : Ja nee
EP 3 – 3 Cheetahs after 35 min 😯
@robdylan (Comment 35) : sorry – that’s half time score
Dit is vrek warm hier op Nuweland… Stormers are playing extremely well but then again the opposition has been really poor…
Big shout out to all our new friends from twf.com.au! Sharksworld has a LOT of Stormers support too! We’ll do Sharks-Force updates on Tues.
Guys – lots of Aussie boys following. Can we can the code and stick to red language? 🙂
http://www.twf.com.au = The Whole Force. Seems they’re just like us, expect they support the Force, of course.
Tuesday night could be fun
free advertising? Loving the hits you’re sending, so not really free 🙂
@PaarlBok (Comment 33) : Ook pak gegee, alot alittle
2nd hald Stormers are playing in blue and white hoops also allowed Force to score, coincedence?
@robdylan (Comment 35) :
Bwhahahahhaa.
THAT is giving Cheeky Watson all the ammo he needs. 😳
@robdylan (Comment 39) :
Seems they have a Saffa on there, confusing us for somewhere else. The only thing about this link is, some people might give comments in afrikaans, but I can translate that 😛 😛
No Worries tdevil, our commentators are mostly “souties” 🙂
Stormers ring the changes and Naqelivuki gets a kaaaaak reception
@robdylan (Comment 36) :
Where did you get the Cheetahs score?
I saw quite a few Force supporters earlier, their female fans are quite niiiiiccce hey chinas!! 😎
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 45) :
Was it in slo-mo or has he laid of the greeen stuff?
@robdylan (Comment 35) : i guess this concentrating on defence cheetahs forgot they need to attack 🙄
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 42) :
Claytie the Force guys feel you can up your performance a little by telling us WHO scored for the Force and what the score is. 😛 😉
Hello Oom!
@rekinek (Comment 49) :
Their defence bit has been practiced for two seasons now. 😳
@robdylan (Comment 2) : i was guessing that he would be rested for the first 3

@Jarson’s (X + V) (Comment 65) :
And if the result ends like this it will be another “upset” according to the 2009 S14 Log. 😳
En ja die Bulle is [email protected]
@robdylan (Comment 36) :
The Cheetahs game should be almost done as well? Wonder if they woke up in the 2nd half.
@RugbyGal (Comment 72) :

I see the Force didnt field their best starting 15, guys like Sharpe and ‘O Connor didnt come on until later, the Stormers would probably have won anyway, the margin might have been smaller though
@KSA Shark © (Comment 121) : all that experience and still not a 1st place. Shame on you 😉

@KSA Shark © (Comment 121) :
@robdylan (Comment 128) :

I bet EP could even beat the Force’s 2nd string side. They were diabolical… When Sheehan, O’Connor and Sharpe came on their play improved dramatically…
@KSA Shark © (Comment 50) : Will do a better job on Tuesday.Promise.
@provincejoulekkading (Comment 132) : Ja en lossie papsak byrie hys 😈

He must be one of those Jonathan Trott/Kevin Pietersen types…only he falls slightly short given he’s Aussie and not a Pom. 😛

@RugbyGal (Comment 141) : good old PB is an active member of every forum I’ve ever encountered 🙂
@robdylan (Comment 142) :
That will be him. Actually he does not like me very much. Saying I like the souties too much. He gets very upset when I support the Sharks! 😉 And when the S14 is done I will go back to my all time favourtie avator. Mr Kankowski!
@RugbyGal (Comment 143) : he he… you’ll fit in just fine here, then 🙂
@robdylan (Comment 144) :
Well I am just waiting for the day that Mr Kankowski joins the Stormers! 😆
@RugbyGal (Comment 145) : he’ll go overseas when he leaves the Sharks
@robdylan (Comment 146) :
Now please – don’t go breaking my heart. Even my hubby made peace with the fact that I gonna marry him one day.
@RugbyGal (Comment 147) : he is very understanding 🙂
@robdylan (Comment 148) :
I trained him well! 🙄
@RugbyGal (Comment 149) : please don’t ever give my wife any tips 🙂
@RugbyGal (Comment 145) : then you’ll have to wait another 10 years or so. The WP likes the retirement age
@robdylan (Comment 150) :
Oh should have a chat or 2 to her! 😆 He also looking forward to the rugby season! Apparantly I am way friendlier when I see them running around the rugbyfield! He agrees the the off season was way too long!
@RugbyGal (Comment 152) : I dont think my better half likes the rugga to much, she says I get to passionate. She supports the Bulle 🙄
@robdylan (Comment 146) : maybe trying to find his roots 😆
@Jarson’s (X + V) (Comment 153) : that’s tough
