Mr and the Mrs try to figure it out. Look closer to Munsters jersey. Is it a sponsor colour?
Yes I think they made them "Hollywood Bets" dancers.

Having added men to the mix, it would have been good to see the team tour Europe with them in tow - if nothing but to see 40 something plus women crying their lungs out in disgust, and their husbands nervously nodding in agreement

And presumably why you threw your lot in with Saracens.

Plum in a Sharks jumper.
Muir is more involved with administration isn't he.

Quins got nothing to lose, nobody giving them a chance, might as well throw everything and either lose by a bucketload or win by one.

How has Stormers 15 not been pinged for dissent there?

He's been Quins' best player so far.

Could have been a yellow too for playing it on the ground and preventing a Quins try

Worst hooker in the tournament. Imagine if the Stormers had bought Marx instead of his fat arse!

I hate that French refs love such a messy breakdown. Stomers are taking full advantage to kill Quins speed of ball.

Pretty poor execution by Quins in that last 5 minutes of the half

Yeah, that's a penalty try all day I'm afraid. Started to get annoyed towards the end of that half with how often Stormers were prepared to kill the ball on penalty advantage with no extra punishment, too.

They're well worth the lead, clearly the better team and able to play some superb and complex attacking rugby at a pace and physicality we can't live with. Pretty happy with our fight but this is a comfortable win for the home side. Hope Quins enjoyed the sightseeing.

It was, but they were being smashed backwards off slow ball because the Stormers defenders were getting away with a lot on the floor.

Tackled from behind, usually let those go.
