    Is Milner-Scudder in the AB's squad?

    No. This is his first super rugby season. He played league for a bit I think.

    He's been quality every time I've seen him.

    Not yet. With emphasis on the YET.

    That was a tough call on the Sharks I reckon.

    It looked tough to me but then speaking as a back like one of the commentators it was a bit too complicated for me. I'm not really sure what the Sharks did wrong

    Lovely response by the Sharks

    Bloody hell. I reckon MOC needs to write an open letter. Smit's has completely galvanised the Sharks. This is a test of the canes mettle.

    Lovely try. Coetzee is having a great game.
    Sharks deserve it after being robbed by the ref (who has been very confusing).

    "Changing lanes". If I understood correctly he ruled the front forwards shifted the point of attack before the drive or something like that as a sort of obstruction. Extremely technical.

    Finally! Would be fair to say Julian Savea has been missed.

    Ardie showing he's a Savea!
    Canes need a bit of resolve now to close this out.

    Definitely. TJ as well. This performance is all Steve Hansen's fault!

    Win of character from the canes. That should be a top 6 finish guaranteed. Poor Sharks they get nothing from that.

    Hard on the sharks to miss the LBP but Hurricanes went all right without 9,10,11.

    Desperately unlucky for the Sharks to drop the losing bonus point at the death. Glad the Canes dug in and got it done. Nice win in that context.
    Broadhurst, Matu'u and Conrad were very good. Cory Jane had a nice game too I thought.

    Tough call to wipe that try, didn't look close to being able to make the tackle

    You know syd, the highlanders could even win the SXV if they can somehow get home knockout matches. Can't see them catching the canes though. Lol force beat the waratahs I see. Can't watch this one I'm in the Swiss foothills drinking local wine after a hearty walk.

    Lions are getting turned over in the tackle every time and you can't give Fekitoa space like that..

    3 - 20 half time.

    Here hoping swiwi, still think we're a bit shallow up front to do that though..... although we're a hell of a lot better than 2 years ago and significantly more solid than last year.

    Love to get out of here with a tbp !!

    Was wondering what all the red/pink stains are on all the Stormers jerseys. Turns out its in honour of mother's day tomorrow, supposedly its red/pink roses.

    Thats a bad mistake by de Allende.

    Thats now the 3rd or 4th big scuffle involving most players from both teams in the first 31 minutes of the game.
    Bit of bad blood here?

    Make that 5 fights in 37mins.

    Very well deserved try by Schalk Burger. Hard to imagine he was fighting for his life 2 years ago and now they'd be mad to leave him out of the springbok world cup squad.

    Stormers win 25-24.
    Lealiifano missed a conversion right infront of the posts, makes the difference between winning by 1 point and losing by 1 point.

    Each player had his mothers name at the back of their necks

    Didn't see it, what happened with the conversion? Was he rushed, or charged down? Was it under the posts or a few metres to one side?
