[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 402499, member: 43875"] strange because the stormers lost from a clear lead the week before and won from being clear behind this weekend. Blues are a very frustrating side because they are so good when they have momentum but when the momentum switches they have a habit of colapsing. It was really their defense that let them down. Brett made more of an effort this week but he was still bad, Mathewson was pretty bad on defense as well. These guys are both so brilliant on attack but so questionable under pressure. Peter Saili was very good again but that kick was a shocker. Gifting the stormers possession and position at the business end of the game like that. Then burgers try at the end. He didn't exactly celebrate did he? And as we saw the week before he fancy's a bit of a celebtation when he scores. I think that says it all, had the ref asked try or no try rather than is there any reason then the result would have been different. But well done stormers, Blues didn't really deserve to win. I think the crucaders will end up with the #1 spot in NZ, the crucaders and chiefs are the two form NZ teams right now. From the Blues last couple of games they will find the chiefs very hard to overcome after their bye. [/QUOTE]
