Stubborn Stormers will stumble

Stubborn Stormers will stumble

MARK KEOHANE argues the Stormers problem is a defensive coaching mindset and not a lack of options in their pack.

Among the more astute and analytical rugby writers in the country is the Cape Argus’s Zelim Nel, who outside of being a fine fellow, is also a rugby coach.

He writes very differently to most who report on the game because he is more a coach who writes than a writer who coaches. I am always interested in Nel’s take on a match and he is good value. Do yourself a favour and get the Argus for his analytical pieces.

Nel, though, feels much of the Stormers try-scoring woes stems from vulnerability among the pack. He lamented an indifferent lineout that has lost its potency in the enforced absence of Eben Etzebeth and he wrote of the Stormers being an inferior collective when it comes to the pack presence.

The Stormers, in their two defeats, have struggled at the set phases. In Pretoria the lineout and scrum were poor and individually the players were second best in the collisions. In Durban the lineout was better but the players were again shaded in the collisions and the pack, in the scrum, were decidedly second best.

But I disagree with Nel that the primary reason the Stormers backs don’t function fluently is because of a poor pack effort. I think it has more to do with the predetermined plan that is all about defence and then thinks about attack.

The Sharks forwards are among the strongest in the tournament and there will be many packs the Stormers will dominate and yet I still can’t see them maximising scoring opportunities. I base this assessment on their tournament history in the last three years.

The mindset of head coach Allister Coetzee is too defensively orientated and the Stormers play with no risk and rely on defence to win matches. It has been a proven formula over a three year period in which they have won 80 percent of their league matches, but they’ve bombed in play-off matches when asked to show more than a defensive mindset.

Super Rugby is not Test rugby. Super Rugby requires more imagination than just making tackles.

The Stormers certainly have the players with the necessary attacking skill and where I disagree with Nel is that the pack is good enough. There have been occasions in the last three years when the Stormers have taken a more attacking approach into a game and scored tries but it has naturally resulted in them leaking more tries. One such occasion was against the Cheetahs and immediately there was criticism of their defence, and within a week the side reverted to type.

A side that places a premium on attack is going to be vulnerable to conceding more tries, but a side that only relies on defence can rarely sustain the defensive effort over a six month period.

Western Province, in the Currie Cup, played with more balance in attack and defence, but the quality of opposition was inferior the best sides in Super Rugby. What has impressed me about the Blues is the attack is not compromised by a desire to defend. It is possible to do both.

Coetzee and his predecessor Rassie Erasmus have restored credibility to Stormers rugby and they are no longer the soft touch or the show ponies of a decade ago, but there is a difference to fixing a side and turning them into champions. The Stormers are no longer the pretty boys of South African rugby, but they are now the most boring side in the tournament, the most predictable and the most pedestrian on attack.

There are fantastic individuals and the quality of player makes for a squad among the top five in the tournament. But the conservative mindset is doing the players a disservice. Watching the Stormers play is like watching Heyneke Meyer’s Boks on the end of year tour. Or like watching white paint dry on a white wall.

It doesn’t make for pleasant viewing and while Meyer will always be able to convince many that Test rugby is a different beast and that it is only about the result, Super Rugby requires a more liberal approach in which no team can win every weekend, so a win at all defensive costs mindset isn’t a winning formula on the field. It won’t seduce supporters either or fool them.

The Stormers will win the majority of their home matches and they will be miserly on defence away from home, but never in the last three years have I ever felt this was a team that would prove masters in the play-offs and I think it has to do with the approach of a coaching staff who play not to lose instead of playing to win with substance and style.

The Stormers are a side that won’t easily finish outside the top six but they are also a side that doesn’t inspire visions of winning the tournament and frankly, outside of 1999 when they played magnificent rugby and I thought they would win, I’ve never been convinced of them as champions.

They are a good side but to win this tournament you have to be very good, in attack and on defence.

    @hendrikp-2:

    The question I find interesting is whether a tight defense by default necessitates a less effective attack?

    Does a more attacking mindset automatically translate into a weaker defense or can both be accommodated with equal effectiveness?

    I cannot begin to describe the frustration I have watching the Stormers…. …..All that backline talent absolutely wasted.

    For the first time in years I am not going to a game at Newlands this weekend.

    With AC and that defensive mindset what is the point? To watch the Kiwis play all the rugby?

    No….i am done till I see a fundamantal change in the Stormers attitude.

    @grant10-6: Agree Grant. Swop Fleck and get Spencer in. Then, in the offseason, poach hawies fourie. Coetzee doesn;’t know how to enforce or implement the change, that’s why the stormers aren’t changing. The other aspect you have to consider is that the skill level of the backline players aren’t good enough. Spatial awareness, the ability to pass effectively, let alone distribute. Most importantly, the fear of making a mistake is crippling.

    Will keep saying this. The biggest weakness in the stormers is AC.

  • 14.John Galt: Reply to this comment

    I wouldnt be too worried if I was a Stormers fan.

    The Sharks were in this exact predicament last year with 2 away losses on the trot and injuries to a few big names. It didnt concern me at the time.

    What did concern me was when we went on tour and lost a game to the Tahs that we should have won and then got drilled by the Hurricanes. Thats the first time I thought our season was over.

    This is a long season and there is still so much that can happen.

  • 15.goodstuff: Reply to this comment

    @Tacitus-4: Look at the Chiefs, they are at present the perfect team. Balanced on all areas.

    The problem with the Stormers is the problem the whole of SA has except the Cheetas, the primary attack channel is the 1st reciever. Our SH’s are terrible at verrying their play and our coaches have huge weakenesses in key areas.

    Drotske – Defence
    Plumstead – Consistancy/ BMT
    AC – Attack/ BMT
    Bulls – Team selection (J Potgieter WTF?)
    Kings – Who knows….

    @pompies2-11: That biggest weakness coached them to tehir 1st Currie Cup win in a decade and the number 1 spot in last years SR?

    Your argument is flawed.

  • 18.pompies2: Reply to this comment

    @goodstuff-13: excellent point. was thinking the same thing saturday. that the percentage of scrumhalf to flyhalf passes is something like 40%. that mean 60% of the time, the scrumhalf is either using the ball himself or passing to the forwards. The rationale will obviously be to build momentum. This is stupid, considering the tightest defense is close to the ruck.

    If you increase the number of times the scrumhalf passes to the flyhalf, you automatically alter the angle of attack and you split that strong fringe defense. In doing so, you create an unstructured, almost unfamiliar defensive line. All of a sudden you find a prop defending next to a centre or wing and this create opportunities by either taking a gap or playing the ball in the tackle.

    As it is, SA teams are suckering themselves into playing rugby league.

    the stormers and their fans are living in some sort of dreamland.. I’m a shark fan living in the cape and I see it day in day out, year after year..
    they refuse to believe that their scrum is weak, that their team cannot win this competition, that tries win this competition..
    it’s highly annoying the blind faith these supporters place in possibly the most boring rugby franchise on the planet..
    they talk about etzebeth being a huge loss, but when you go through the sharks lineup and you see possibly our 3 best forwards all out injured in bismark, daniel and alberts- the comparison is ridiculous..
    these stormers coaches and fans need a serious reality check

    Sorry fellow Srormer supporters, but I thought this should be shared

    The embattled Stormers revealed today their cunning new plan for Super Rugby glory. After two losses over the first two weekends of the tournament the heat is on the Cape side to find some form. To do so, Allister Coetzee and his backroom staff have thrown the coaching manual out of the window.
    Special report: by David Moseley
    Said coaching manual was actually picked up by a high school ninth team coach, who promptly burnt the thing, lest it stymie another teams attacking flair.
    “Ja, look, you know, it’s all about inches,” said the Stormers boss to rapturous applause from the Cape rugby media. “You know, we just need to you know, you know? So once we’ve done that, you know?”
    Coetzee then handed over the floor to backline coach Robbie Fleck, who wowed the assembled media with unique insight into the Stormers revolutionary new strategy. “We’ve struggled so far this season with rugby players. So what we’ll do for the Chiefs game is bring in two cardboard boxes into the backline.”
    Fleck, who says he found the boxes at the delivery entrance to the Constantia Pick n Pay, continued, “We feel we might get more momentum out of a cardboard box than we’re currently getting from our backline.
    “While our tactics have always been to run sideways, we’re now hoping that a freak gust of wind might blow the cardboard boxes forward against the Chiefs.
    “I’ve been told that behind the opposition defence there’s something called a tryline, so we’re looking forward to seeing one of those sometime this season. The wind often swirls at Newlands, so this could be a big plus.”
    Former try-scoring wing, Bryan Habana, who will more than likely be one of the players replaced by a cardboard box, was enthusiastic regarding his team’s amended game plan.
    “Ja, look, you know. You know? I spend a lot of time getting changed, doing push ups before running onto the field, then I just stand on the wing. I feel like this will give me an opportunity to tweet more. I’m not really needed for the Stormers attacking moves, and I wish Cardboard Box well.”
    From the team that took to the field for training, it looks like I&J Cardboard Box, well known for its distribution, could be starting at inside centre, with McCain Frozen Peas Cardboard Box starting ahead of Habana, who’s normally left out in the cold anyway.

  • 33.MacroBull: Reply to this comment

    Whats frustrating me is that whenever the backline gets just that bit of momentum, a strormers forward just HAS to stand at center and crashball, but they will pick CrashballGrant again too, so just like last year players like de jongh will be null and void defenders.

  • 34.skopdiekan: Reply to this comment

    A.C. is Jake White protege who learned every thing he knows from the great ‘defence wins games’ architect of S.A. rugby tradition rugby. So wtf anyone expected? Coetsee either loses his fear of losing or else get new coaching team. They’re falling apart at the seams these three just like JW was in 2007 before he brought his mentor and savior in EJ to change his entire fixed fearful conservative dead end approach.

  • 35.Sheriff: Reply to this comment

    I think part of the problem is that Elton has had 3 major changes that he is coming to terms with:

    * Living in CT; although he is kullid it’s a whole different ballgame living there

    * New team – they know what he can do but has not had enough time for players to play off him

    * Life without his dad – I’ve read several articles that his dad played a significant role in his rugby, so that will take in his case probably a year to normalise

  • 40.skopdiekan: Reply to this comment

    Elton Jantjies was a very poor decision and purchase I stand by my assessment that had Stormers started ANY other fly half vs Bulls and probably Sharks as well they would definitely be in a better position than the 0/2 they find themselves in now.

  • 41.lightie: Reply to this comment

    Some options and variations would help. When 2 Pods of forwards recieve the ball from every other ruck and make a couple inches before the scrummie or flyhalf decide to kick then you’re gonna have a bad time. Even some basic things like one off runners or some forwards crashing off 12 rather than 10. It’s like night and day watching the kiwi teams and our own. They would do well to watch the Cheetahs and take notes. Imagine the Cheetahs actually had a pack and decent defensive structure for 80 minutes.

    I disagree.

    The absence of Etzebeth in particular is a huge loss. Liebenberg too. Just look at the set piece of the Stormers of 2012 versus the current bunch.

    The Stormers have invested in playmakers and gamebreakers. I’d argue that, if anything, their attacking philosophy is flawed. Why? The Stormers have shown signs of playing a more expansive game, but with Jantjies and the midfield standing deeper and attacking from space. You cannot do this when your midfielders are not quick off the mark.

    And, of course, they need to get front foot ball.

    Saying that the Stormers have been so poor is being disrespectful to the opposition. They lost by 8 points to the Bulls (after missing 12 points at goal and turning down 2 opportunities to kick at goal to kick to the corner instead) and by six points to the Sharks. Both these games were away games. As such, the doom and gloom being written about the Stormers seems to me the usual South African knee jerk cynicism and blame game that is always played. As Keo has said we should listen to his good friend Mr Nel, the only real issue in his mind is the pack and specifically the scrum. In both games it was poor and led to scoring opportunities being wasted or allowing kicks at goals for the opposition.

    Furthermore, in both games I did not see the Bulls or the Sharks showing anymore inventiveness on attack than the Stormers, in fact I felt that Stormers have carried the ball fairly effectively, but that may be my blue tinted glasses. It does seem that our players are unwilling to try offloads in the tackle atm. But once again you can only play as well as the opposition allow, and both games the Bulls and the Sharks played the best rugby of the season (short as it is so far). As such, I will continue to support the Stormers and wish them the best. If we start struggling against the Force, Kings, Rebels, Cheetahs, Reds or NSW, that is one the real question marks will arise for me.

    The embattled Stormers revealed today their cunning new plan for Super Rugby glory. After two losses over the first two weekends of the tournament the heat is on the Cape side to find some form. To do so, Allister Coetzee and his backroom staff have thrown the coaching manual out of the window.
    Special report: by David Moseley

    Said coaching manual was actually picked up by a high school ninth team coach, who promptly burnt the thing, lest it stymie another teams attacking flair.

    “Ja, look, you know, it’s all about inches,” said the Stormers boss to rapturous applause from the Cape rugby media. “You know, we just need to you know, you know? So once we’ve done that, you know?”

    Coetzee then handed over the floor to backline coach Robbie Fleck, who wowed the assembled media with unique insight into the Stormers revolutionary new strategy. “We’ve struggled so far this season with rugby players. So what we’ll do for the Chiefs game is bring in two cardboard boxes into the backline.”

    Fleck, who says he found the boxes at the delivery entrance to the Constantia Pick n Pay, continued, “We feel we might get more momentum out of a cardboard box than we’re currently getting from our backline.

    “While our tactics have always been to run sideways, we’re now hoping that a freak gust of wind might blow the cardboard boxes forward against the Chiefs.

    “I’ve been told that behind the opposition defence there’s something called a tryline, so we’re looking forward to seeing one of those sometime this season. The wind often swirls at Newlands, so this could be a big plus.”

    Former try-scoring wing, Bryan Habana, who will more than likely be one of the players replaced by a cardboard box, was enthusiastic regarding his team’s amended game plan.

    “Ja, look, you know. You know? I spend a lot of time getting changed, doing push ups before running onto the field, then I just stand on the wing. I feel like this will give me an opportunity to tweet more. I’m not really needed for the Stormers attacking moves, and I wish Cardboard Box well.”

    From the team that took to the field for training, it looks like I&J Cardboard Box, well known for its distribution, could be starting at inside centre, with McCain Frozen Peas Cardboard Box starting ahead of Habana, who’s normally left out in the cold anyway.

    JPP should be playin at 13 for the Boks, would go a long way to solving your backline problems, but keep him at wing, I dont mind he hardly gets the ball there… Savea? what has he really done? in his second season and will probably surpass Jane at some stage, but is still suspect under the high ball at this stage, definitely not the finished article yet… Gear? too inconsistent, has good days and goes missing often, especially at AB level.. at AB level Jane is still our best winger imo..

    @pompies2-84: Hi Pompies.

    It depends on (i) the type of inside backs and (ii) the type of gameplan.

    Regarding (i) – A strong ball carrying 12 is usually better off taking the ball flat. A quick stepping 12 is usually better off taking the ball slightly deeper.

    Regarding (ii) – if you want to go through a defense, you should stand flat. If you want to go around a defense, you should attack from slightly deeper.

    You don’t beat the Sharks by trying to go around their defense. The Stormers looked good when they built up the phases in the inside channels, but they don’t know how to create space for their wingers in mature phases.

  • 144.nama1: Reply to this comment

    I guess the team that won the FA (who was it again?) Cup in England last year were better than Man City who won the league.

    That’s what happened last year here as well. Stormers won the League phase and the Sharks beat us in a once off in the knock out phase.

    In any case, let’s concentrate on this year. The Sharks are 2/2 and the Stormers 0/2. Surely the Sharks are the flaf bearer for SA in the S15. Will they be consistent enough to last the distance and make it to the play off or will they wilter under the pressure of being the “best team in the SA conference.”

    - Clean
    - Legs better than a Sharks flasher girl
    - C cuptits not sagging

    - no hair on face
    - Vivacious with a girly voice

    All quite different to my mindseye impression (save for a slight remnant of an adams apple and a front bulge only realised in hindsight which I truly hope you do not have) is of you from your posts here…. I imagine Keo’s Doggy in real life to be:
    - A Slightly shy animal obsessive
    - Bit of an Emo, a bit scruffy in dress appearance and quite possible a little bit dirty from carelessness of appearance…
    - A few hesitant tattoos going with the Emo theme and probably quite pale in complexion
    - Not a bad chassis, but possibly some skin issues in the past due to hormones out of control…
    - vsry slightly sagging B cuptits due to not enough (s)exercise…
    - slightly careless hygiene leading to a particular body odour common to Emo, booky types…
    - Woman’s lib slight militant leading to unshaven legs and armpit, with possibly a slight moustache if you have dark hair…
    - Not unattractive, but just dont really make the effort…

    This leads me to conclude that I would probably need just as much beer goggles to consider giving you a rare happinesspomp as I did to think my little Kathoey called Poppa was a Sharks streaker girl….

    @Dilligafrican-144:
    Yes, that would be right.

    The S15 comp however is a combination of a league competition which culminates in a knock out competition in which the 6 best teams during the league phase take part.

    Now the question is: Who really is the best team? It’s easy to answer when the league winner also win the knock out phase. It is a bit more complicated when the 6th place team win the league winner in the knock out phase.

    By nature, knock out matches can produce unexpected results and it is not always the best team that come out as the winner.

    For example, ManU have not won the FA Cup in years (early 2000′s, I think) but have won multiple league champioships during the same period.

    It’s like the WC…..Crazyfuckers like France can make it into the final and come THIS close to winning the whole damn thing, when the reality is they shouldn’t be rewarded for the mediocrity of winning a few lucky games…

    Same for Super rugby….. Rewarding mediocrity throughout the season by allowing teams to enter the playoffs at 6th :)

    In fact, that’s a middle of the table finish – eeuw.

    No how stupid and gullible can one get?
    Durban – A woman accused of stealing cash and jewellery from casino patrons while performing good luck rituals for them appeared briefly in the Durban Commercial Crimes Court on Tuesday.

    The matter was postponed to 18 April for the State to provide the charge sheet and statements to the defence.

    The woman, who faces three counts of fraud, cannot be named until the court lifts the order instructing that her name cannot be published in the media.

    “The woman would approach her potential victims at a local casino and con them into believing that she can turn their luck around by performing bizarre rituals,” police spokesperson Colonel Jay Naicker said previously.

    She allegedly told gamblers she could introduce them to a psychic who would improve their chances of winning.

    Naicker said in one case, a casino patron was robbed of cash and jewellery valued at over R1m. The woman also allegedly drugged elderly people and robbed them of their valuables.

    No chance in hell boet.

    You’ll return 0/4 after your tour.

    Then you still have to face the Sharks, Stormers and Cheetahs AWAY from home. Another two losses at least.

    At least one loss at Loftus is also on the cards.

    Leaving you with a maximum of 9 victories. Don’t know if it will be enough to take you to the play offs.

    not that i care,
    but for what its worth i expect the Bulls to realistically get a minimum of 6 points on tour plus 4 for the bye would put them at 19 points by round 9.

    Stormers are probably gonna lose this weekend, get a 4 point bye the next and then, if they’re lucky, beat the brumbies & cheetahs and lose to the crusaders which would put them at 13 points by round 9.

    still well clear of the Stormers but probably behind the Sharks who should be ahead of both by round 9.

    @nama1-155:

    The rules of the competition dictates who is the best team. In SR to be champion you need you to, first, finish in the top 6 in the league phase, then win 2 or 3 playoff games.

    The problem with league play is that teams rarely get the same level of opposition each week. And sometimes it’s not a matter of ability, rather attitude… The Lions for instance will beat the Sharks, then lose to the Force the next weekend. You get SA teams that go on tour and rest their best players against opponents they think they cannot beat.

    As for winning a lucky few games, teams get lucky last minute wins in league play as well, the only difference is that the loses don’t get eliminated… Another problem with the conference is that some benefit from the luck of the draw.

    Some teams go for months without 2 or 3 their best players, which could mean the difference between finishing on top and no 6. Others are hinded by coaches picking the wrong players in key position, like the Sharks did with Lambie for their first nine games last year.

    @willievz-140: With the current combo of Jantjies, De Allende and JdV, it can only go one way. Both centres are essentially runners first and distributors second. Given Jantjies’ style of attack play where he goes across the field, rather than straight ahead, you essentially rely on either centre changing the angle of attack or try to break the defensive alignment.

    I see , you see it , everyflippenbody can see it except the powers that be at Newlands HO !!!! FFS !!!! Some tweaking of the pack would go a long way of fixing the problems , I would put Tiaan in if his fit , if not the Lions hooker ! Deon to 6 , Kolisi to 7 and Vermuealen at 8. Elkstad goes to lock with Bekker. Props stays the same for me.

    Pack would be

    Kitchkoff
    Tiaan
    Malherbe/cilliers
    Bekker
    Elkstad
    Deon/Carr
    Kolisi
    Duane

    Alternatively put Kolisi at 6 , duane at 7 with Carr at 8. I think the selectors are picking Deon on emotion due to him leading WP to CC glory.

    Backline –

    Groom
    Janjies
    Jean de Villers
    ?? Where is the youngster Du Plesis ?

If you want to watch some skop en jaag, Newlands is the place to be. And the Stormers are great travelers, maintaining their high standards of mind-numbing boredom on the road.

    Never been a fan of Toetie or of the defensive game plan and I never will. What I will bet is that the Stormers – limited as they are at the moment – will end up in the play offs. The Sharks got the better in the scrums against the Stormers. That was the difference on the scoreboard. The Sharks showed even less ambition than the Stormers in some areas but those effing unforced errors killed us. So I’m not really too worried now but yes I yearn for the days of WP/Stormers running rugby!

    I’m a bit worried about our rugby at the moment.
    So far only the Cheetahs have met a serious match, and they lost by 42 points.
    Sharks, Bulls and Stormers have basically played each other, Kings played one of the weaker Aus sides.
    And this is not knocking the Sharks or Bulls, they both have 2 wins from 2 which is great for them, but I don’t think either side has been tested. Stormers are really poor so I don’t think people must read too much in those wins, Force and Cheetahs are also rans as well.
    Sharks will be three from 3 after Saturday, but will still not have met a serious test.
    Bulls are going to be tested the first time on Sunday, will be interesting to see how they go.

  • 346.Dusky: Reply to this comment

    @Rage-337: :-D Just pulling your leg.

    The Sharks wont be taking the Kings lightly. Should be a very interesting game to put the Kings into perspective in this competition. There is a lot to be said about the ‘never say die’ attitude that they displayed against the Force.

    They will also be thinking that this could be an opportunity for them to make the biggest statement in Super rugby history probably so they will come out to play without a doubt.

    Sharks should win by all accounts but it probably wont be a record score. That game against the Force really doesn’t measure anything for the Kings. First away game of the season for the Force and I think even the biggest Kings fan has to admit the Force played fairly poorly on the day. Of course, the element that puts the Kings win into further consideration is that the Force actually gave the Bulls a run for their money.

    Should be interesting.

  • 347.Dusky: Reply to this comment

    @nortierd-342: I think one could say this is a common trait of the South African teams. We often bumble through the first few games with the competitive SA sides gaining momentum as the tournament wears on. If we look at 2007, the Bulls had some very indifferent games that season – had to put a record score on the Reds to get a home semi-final, and then ended up winning the whole thing.

    Then we have the Stormers, winning two SA conferences in a row and falling apart in the semi-final both years.

    I wouldn’t say it is a blistering start and I get your point about the mediocrity of performances so far. We would have to wait and see what happens further on down the line though. It is really too difficult to base predictions on the first few games.

    I do get the feeling that the Sharks have more to offer. I hope they ‘click’ soon. There are some tough games to come.

    I am a bit worried about the Stormers though. The pressure of losing your two opening matches and then facing the formidable Chiefs team as it currently is, is a massive hill to climb.

    @Dusky-344:
    Yes Dusky, the Sharks showed that last year, but we mustn’t forget that even though they ended playing great rugby, they first went and lost against a poor Lions side who could hardly buy a win at that stage.
    Then when their backs were truly against the wall did the Sharks wake up.
    But it was too late and they had too much to do with all the travel.
    It’s just strange that our teams, whether Super Rugby or Boks seem to thrive on being underdogs and back against the wall.
    I wish we could learn from our cricket side and if you are the best show it with swagger and smash the opposition.
    Of course I’m referring to tests and not T20 side :-)

    Seems like all the Stormers supporters have thrown in the towel.

    Fark man its a long season and the Crusaders have proven in the past that when it comes to Super rugby success you have to hit your straps towards the 2nd half of the competition.

    De Jong, Schalk and Etzebeth will make a massive difference.

    Of course you’re yanking my chain but its all good man.

    As for the Sharks ….They might actually go easy on the Kings but I still expect a scoreline of about 55 – 8.Kings will be full of fire for the first 30 or so but they will not be able to live with your guppies after the first half.

    Most interesting game of the round though,Stormers vs Chiefs…cracker.

    In that regard,you’re actually better off without TOO MANY first choice intl players…Chiefs exploited this quite well last year.

  • 355.Jeraldjay: Reply to this comment

    But the fundamental issue is the style of rugby the Stormers are playing.

    WP Rugby has always been defined by its style of attack minded, running rugby. Ball in hand and kick as a last resort.

    How things have changed.

    @Rage-351:

    Yes. Only Etzebeth and JDV got called up for the incoming against Eng.

    The rest were all Bulls and Sharks players. The Stormers also lost against the Sharks in Durban just before the break.

    So your point is valid.

    Same here, none of our teams look impressive

    I also said the Stormers are title contenders but so far they’ve showed very little. I was very(pleasantly) surprised when the Bulls’ young front row dominated them and this week the Sharks did too

    The Sharks haven’t fired on all cylibders yeat, this week against the Kings they must and they will.

    Although Transie will say the Kings peaked to soon this season :-)

    The Bulls could be in the top 6, but won’t if they keep playing the way they do. They’ll probably lose with the same type of score against the Chiefs or even more , than the Kings will against the Sharks

  • 358.Rage: Reply to this comment

    But it’s too early to panic..first home game coming up,let’s see how that goes…I reckon the Stormers are going to edge the Chiefs by 2! Surely,they cannot lose three on the trot.Dominating the Chiefs in the posession and territory aint enough,you need to get points on the board against these guys,keep the scoreboard ticking…Stormers have no choice but to come out and PLAY.

    JJ
    I for one am not throwing in the towel, but I am accepting that the fact that currently we are looking less than good.
    The biggest plus for a home semi is money in the bank for the union, sell out stadium for one or possible 2 extra games help.
    It’s not like any of the SA teams can walk around ****-a-hoop in any case, not much to crow about.
    Some good games here and there, an upset her and there, but mostly the bridesmaid.
    I think being realistic is better than being defeatist, so IMO looking at our teams realistically I don’t think any of our sides will win the tournament.

    @nortierd-357:

    Lets see what happens against the Chiefs.

    I agree one has to be realistic about the style of rugby been played by SA teams.

    Their is absolutely no creativity in terms of running lines, support runners, off load in the tackle and also having patience when attacking one phase at a time.

    I maintain… it’s still early days.Too many times we’ve seen teams fly outta the blocks only to fade away when the real grind starts…but yes,the young Blues look dangerous,the Chiefs ruthless and Jake’s boys capable of topping their conference.

    Btw,I will never get used to this conference BS.

    Hehehe,nah man…Im a Stormer but firmly in the Kings’ corner for this one…they’re our neighbours after all.

    As for the Saders…they look a bit weak out wide.Dagg and Freuan only guys with the X factor.Taylor,Marshall,Crotty,Whitelock are adequate but not exactly worldbeaters.New kid Jonny McNicholl could add something different.

    But it would indeed be foolish to ignore them as play-off candidates.

    None of your “some thoughts” on this somewhat vulgar(to your moral liking) thread?

    Do you and your E.Cape cohort not find this thread riddled with ” gender sexuality” and “derogatory language” and “obscenities” and a lot worse?

    Is it then not your case of one set of non-existent values for your ‘gatgabbas’ (of either gender) and a personal set of moral values for some you do not fancy?

    And you say you are an honest and honourable skunk?

    Note , I did not force my ‘morals’(however impeccable they are) on any of the delinquents you fancy. I simply kept my distance whilst being busy.

    Bulls rounds 9 to 20:

    round 09 vs cheetahs = 5
    round 10 vs kings = 5
    round 11 vs tahs = 4
    round 12 vs canes = 4
    round 13 = 4 (bye)
    round 14 vs landers = 0
    round 15 vs sharks (away) = 0
    round 16 vs cheetahs = 5
    round 18 vs kings = 5
    round 19 vs sharks = 4
    round 20 vs stormers = 4

    19 + 40 = 59

    it would be enough to make a playoff but probably not enough to to the conference.

    Just got to love all you mullets on here rejoicing at the poor start the Stormers has had this season. Some of you just never learn do you? Maybe you should hold back a bit until later in the season when things become a bit clearer so that you all can avoid looking like complete morons (yet again).

    I can’t speak for any other supporters, but I would much rather see all the SA teams do well and unlike some people on here, I actually like the the way the Sharks are playing now and I am glad to see the Bulls having a good start to the season and I am as disappointed at the start the Cheetahs has had as many of their supporters undoubtedly are. As for the Kings, WHAT A GREAT START to the campaign, I hope they can put in some good games over the course of the season.

    As has happened many times in sports, these mullets crowing the loudest will slink back in to the dark recesses of their warped minds once all comes crashing down at the end of the season. Remember, there is only one winner, so the odds are 15/1 that your snide remarks and silly comments will be thrown right back at you at the end of the season.

    Banter we can understand, but BS passing as banter is just that, BS.
