Stormers vs Reds

[Incredible Schalk]

Well round two is upon us and tomorrow night the clash of the round takes place once again at Newlands. . Both sides coming off of defeats last week, both struggling up front, however the Stormers looked better than expected in the scrum with Moller on and could target this area. The big talking point of course is Jean De Villiers, will he/wont he play after suffering from whiplash in the Sharks match last weekend. He's been named in the side but may well miss the game, any idea who would take over as captain? considering Watson (old captain) isnt starting..

Looking at the Stormers team there actually isn't anyone that can take over the captaincy.

 

[Woldog]

Reds will win by 9000 points.

Bobo was Western Province's captain during the Currie Cup and I believe he took over captaincy when De Villiers left the field. So he's probably the best bet. Shame...

I would have thought either Burger, Bekker or Vermeulen would have made sound captains.

 

[Incredible Schalk]

Vermuelens to young and has only just joined the squad, i would have thought Burger would make an ideal captain.

That would be like making Bakkies Botha captain imo. Burger isn't really talkative, like Smitty or De Villiers are.

 

[QLD]

Reds by 14 points.

 

[munross]

JdV will be starting, so now the Stormers will win by 100 points

 

[QLD]

We've got Berrick Barnes, worlds best inside centre.

 

[Woldog]

We got Sean Hardman worlds oldest Hooker.

:lol: Bit too early for April fools jokes Dale

 

[Incredible Schalk]

Barnes is a very good player, to be honest the Reds have a pretty strong team, after they get whupped tonight they should do quite well with some home games coming up. Certainly better than 12th i would say..

 

[Vambo]

This one is being shown live over here

Come on you Reds

 

[QLD]

why did I wake up for the 2nd half? Terrible play from the Reds. Try right after HT. 17-5

 

[QLD]

How Watson didn't score...trysaving tackle from Hynes.

 

[QLD]

Peter Grant penalty, 20-5 Stormers. Reds letting it slide away.

 

[QLD]

JDV sets up a great try for the Fijian. Surely the Reds didnt play this bad first half?

 

[cyRil]

Nah, they were worse. Quade Cooper looks a pile of ****, and seems a right ******** to boot.
I saw a lot of Reds fans bigging their team up before the Bulls gave them one last week, they just look rubbish!
Except McLovin at full back who looks a right little live-wire.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Lol, Quade Cooper. Just turned on the game and he almost gifts an intercept try.
