Stormers need 5 points here, they have a grueling away leg, need to find early form

No idea how much SR is broadcast in the UK I'd imagine very little on a 6 nations weekend, but you might get lucky.

it's on Sky sports action and Now TV in UK.
You might get lucky with most pubs really the only football game on is Wednesday v Swansea at that time.

It's in sky sports action, so you should have no problem finding a place. I would call before just to be sure. Nearly all pubs that have a tv will have it, the only problem you might face is they decide to show something else instead. Just call, you should be fine.

Saracens and Harlequins are both playing away i believe so, as far as i understand, no.

It's do or die for us too. Stormers are arguably the only game we can take from our initial 3, and i'd be inclined to believe our management is aware of that. They should go out guns blazing. They'd be idiots if they don't.

Good weather normally means good rugby.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

LAmentable. If this is the level of defense we bring to the table many teams will tear us appart. I ve counted 10 missed tackles in 2 plays alone.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

why on earth didnt they went for 3??? Such a stupid call

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

I m livid. I ve seen touch rugby teams defend better.

Just saw the stats. 21 missed tackles. 21! And we had the ball most of the time...

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Our tackle success rate was 53%, 53....
We missed 1 out of every two tackles we attempted.

It's impossible to compete against anyone with stats like those.
But that's just the execution, the decision making was just as bad.

Honestly I'm happy with the game, a win is a win, and I saw enough to give me hope that we will at least be competitive this year.

We defended well for long periods, and we were good value from the counter-attack again, we haven't completely regressed into a boring game plan. Damian Willemse was fantastic and Seabelo starting to look very comfortable in the 15 man game Nizaam was also everywhere and looked hungry which is an encouraging sign. Our pack was perhaps a bit light with no Eben/PsdT and Bongi and our set piece needs consistency but all in all a satisfactory performance.

I didn't think the Jaguares were too awful, but as it's been mentioned too many missed tackles on defense (the Kolisi and DDA tries in particular, made the Jaguares tacklers look foolish), and perhaps needed to do more when structuring an attack.
Sanchez looked good, as did Boffelli and their pack in general was hard working.
