[Leonormous Boozer]

Good try by the world's second best player and Leinster's 31st best player

Rohan coming on so sharks will be back down to 13 soon

 

[Gavin]

Quins being Quins

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bad miss

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great try,
Brutal for Quins

 

[Gavin]

Why did Quins keep on kicking the ball away? Surely keeping it I hand would have been better

 

[unrated]

That was an exciting end to the game! Good to win our first game and will take the bonus point.

Yeah really poor IQ, they looked like the side defending the lead not needing a score

[McTallshort]

But of a statement from Leinster. Good to see Wade bagging a try.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

So far so good for the Stormers. A win on the road would be massive. Just keep going as is. The 6 forwards bench should be invaluable in the last 30 odd minutes. If anything a few of those players on the bench would be upgrades. Deon Fourie MotM so far. I'm not liking Willemse at 15. He should be at 12 for the Stormers and where in the world is Mngomezulu as our bench option?

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Libbok numerous unforced errors back after the break really letting Clermont back into this...

 

[unrated]

Yes, hope Libbok cam recover because when he has a bad game it really screws his teams chances.

 

[die_mole]

Clermont actually looking solid. Impossible to tell what a French team is going to be from the first half of the season.

 

[die_mole]

Penaud with maybe the worst chip kick under advantage in the history of rugby.

 

[IT157]

Tale of two half's in this Stormers vs. Clermont match.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Needed Libbok and/or Willemse to do better this half.. Looking woeful on attack the few opportunities we've had. Forwards must be frustrated as the errors have been totally unforced.

Not even a losing BP for that effort. Libbok and co totally letting our forwards down. Deon Fourie was monumental.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

B team Bulls look solid vs what I expect is also a B team Lyon?

 

[big ginger 8]

Bulls vs Lyon very dramatic.
