[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 103057"] Congratulations to the Highlanders- this game was over and done by half-time. For the Highlanders, pretty much job done- easy pickings really, just keep the concentration, and this Stormers rabble will either throw a reckless pass, resulting in an intercept, or concede a penalty. For the Stormers, well nothing new really- conceding 3 points immediately after their best period of rugby got them a try through Andries Bekker very much sums it up. An intercept try, and the final nail in the coffin coming from Hale T-Pole after yet another reckless pass, certainly tells the full story. The lack of a game-plan really irks- throwing the ball around, playing from touchline to touchline might work in the Currie Cup against the likes of the hapless Pumas, especially with some potent game-breakers in the backline, but against well-organised Super 14 defences, it is plainly not good enough. Coach Kobus vd Merwe is clearly out of his depth in this company- the sooner he goes, the better. 4 wins in 17 Super starts tells the whole story- it`s helluva embarrasing. [/QUOTE]
