Canes 15-6 ‎Chiefs 42m Chiefs make it almost to the 22 before a knock on from the Canes - scrum Chiefs
Canes 15-6 ‎Chiefs 43m Scrum reset...& again...wake us up when the rugby starts, eh?!
Canes 15-6 ‎Chiefs 44m Would love to know whoever thought rock music was a necessity during a match! 
Canes 15-6 ‎Chiefs 44m Time off - rock concert continues... *yawn* 
Canes 15-6 ‎Chiefs 44m Last minute of actual play has taken 4 minutes! Canes all over Chiefs' 22 finally
Canes 15-6 ‎Chiefs 45m 11 phases in & Canes are halfway into the Chiefs' 22 but get turned over...
Canes 15-6 ‎Chiefs 46m Chiefs are well back in goal area tho - possession lost quickly
Canes 20-6 ‎Chiefs 47m Canes regain momentum & Victor Vito piles over the tryline to score
Canes 22-6 ‎Chiefs 48m Barrett pings over the conversion & the Canes are sitting pretty already
Canes 22-6 ‎Chiefs 49m From restart, Chiefs react well & Aaron Cruden makes a good run before offloading
Canes 22-6 ‎Chiefs 50m Hands are sharp to begin with but then a pathetic forward pass destroys momentum...
Canes 22-6 ‎Chiefs 51m ...Canes take it quickly but cough up a penalty; McKenzie tees up for 3 oddly
Canes 22-9 ‎Chiefs 52m He adds 3 but probably should have gone for a setpiece move for 7 with that deficit 
Canes 22-9 ‎Chiefs 53m Meanwhile, Boshier, Kerr-Barlow & Pulu on for Sanders, Weber & Tamanivalu
Canes 22-9 ‎Chiefs 54m Chiefs really aren't looking impressive as they hand over another kickable penalty
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 55m Of course Barrett has no problem adding 3 more points to his 15-point tally so far
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 57m Chiefs are finally on the attack again and into Canes 22, but yet again get turned
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 58m Quick work from Canes & Chiefs are pushed back up towards the midfield again
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 58m Chiefs have to come all the way back to cover the lost ground...
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 60m But momentum disrupted again by changes coming off the bench
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 60m Stevenson, Fisi'ihoi, Graham & Elliott for McNichol, Hames, Moli & Harris
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 61m Julian Savea, Apisai, Aso & Eves for Jane Riccitelli, Halaholo & May
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 62m Ah - Julian S not quite on yet as Jane gets YC at the Chiefs attacking scrum in 22
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 64m So much opportunity for the Chiefs; they've been hanging out in Canes 22 for an age 
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 65m But so many errors & they gift possession away with knock on this time
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 66m A man up, the Chiefs should be taking advantage, especially in the 22, but fail
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 67m The Canes shove Chiefs back up to halfway; the attack brings them a lineout outside the 22 
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 68m But again, possession is lost at the setpiece as ball is stolen in the lineout
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 68m Jamison Gibson-Park replaces Perenara & Vito takes over captaincy of the Canes 
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 69m Wave after wave of attack is thwarted by Canes as they shut down all Chiefs efforts
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 70m Finally another real chance with kick to touch for a 22 Chiefs lineout...
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 71m ...which goes fine & they bulldoze over the tryline, but are turned before any grounding 
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 72m Tevita Koloamatangi replaces Cane who's off for HIA
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 72m Defensive 5m scrum for Canes & they clear well enough...
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 73m Chiefs back for 22 lineout as Julian Savea finally gets on after Jane's binning ends
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 74m Koloamatangi returns to the bench as Cane returns, cleared from HIA
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 75m Canes held out well a man down, not conceding a point despite Chiefs in their 22
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 76m Koloamatangi doesn't stay back off for long tho as he comes on for Seu
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 77m Chiefs attack again - have had majority possession & territory despite poor score
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 78m Mike Kainga & Tony Lamborn replace Ardie Savea & Uhila
Canes 25-9 ‎Chiefs 79m McKenzie has chucked ball into touch again; Canes win another penalty...

STORMERS 21 - 60 CHIEFS

DHL Newlands, Cape Town - Saturday 23 July 2016
KO: 19:00 HT: 14-34

HOW IT HAPPENED MINUTE BY MINUTE…

Stormers vs ‪‎Chiefs A chilly evening in Cape Town as the smoke clears from the pyro-madness & Jaco Peyper refs 
‪Stormers 0-0 ‪‎Chiefs 1m Bit bonkers match has started when it looks like heavy fog across the pitch
‪Stormers 0-0 ‪‎Chiefs 2m Chiefs begin well forcing Stormers right back into their 22 before t/o near touch
‪Stormers 0-0 ‪‎Chiefs 2m Time off already after Stormer battle to get out of 22; Siya Kolisi injured
‪Stormers 0-0 ‪‎Chiefs 2m Rynhardt Elstadt on for Kolisi who looks to have twisted his ankle or leg
‪Stormers 0-0 ‪‎Chiefs 3m Chiefs tee up for penalty from the 22 after the pressure tells on Stormers
‪Stormers 0-3 ‪‎Chiefs 3m Damian McKenzie pops over the ball for 3 & the Chiefs are off the mark already
‪Stormers 0-3 ‪‎Chiefs 5m Stormers reply with brute force, deep into the Chiefs 22 & look good til a knock on at breakdown
‪Stormers 0-3 ‪‎Chiefs 6m Chiefs defensive scrum c.10m inside from tryline...taking a while to set...
‪Stormers 0-3 ‪‎Chiefs 7m Strong effort from Chiefs as Stormers lineout is right back on halfway; they hold possession
‪Stormers 0-3 ‪‎Chiefs 8m Lineout for Chiefs & they go short with it but setpiece fails overall...
‪Stormers 0-3 ‪‎Chiefs 9m Eben Etzebeth is excellent in his disruption & steal possession for the homeside...
‪Stormers 5-3 ‪‎Chiefs 10m ...an immense effort from Stormers who storm into Chiefs 22 & Vincent de Koch scores 
‪Stormers 7-3 ‪‎Chiefs 11m Robert du Preez converts quickly & the Stormers have thrown down the gauntlet
‪Stormers 7-3 ‪‎Chiefs 12m Chiefs reply with impassioned charge into Stormers 22 but Brodie Retallick knock on
‪Stormers 7-8 ‪‎Chiefs 13m Chiefs have to start again from outside 22 but no stress as Sam McNichol skids over tryline
‪Stormers 7-10 ‪‎Chiefs 14m McKenzie adds the conversion & Chiefs are back ahead quickly
‪Stormers 7-15 ‪‎Chiefs 16m No time to blink in this match as Brad Weber thinks he's Usain Bolt from halfway & scores
‪Stormers 7-17 ‪‎Chiefs 17m McKenzie again kicks well - though he'd be hard pressed to miss that one!
‪Stormers 7-17 ‪‎Chiefs 18m Each quarter final since yesterday has out-paced the previous one - insane speed
‪Stormers 7-17 ‪‎Chiefs 19m A quick water-break before the Chiefs have a defending lineout & it's turned on halfway
‪Stormers 7-17 ‪‎Chiefs 20m But an infringement at the breakdown gives the scrum to Chiefs bang on halfway
‪Stormers 7-17 ‪‎Chiefs 21m Some petulant whinging from Chiefs about a player being held back - clearly wasn't 
‪Stormers 7-17 ‪‎Chiefs 22m Some aerial football resultant from Stephen Donald intercept; Chiefs lineout...
‪Stormers 7-22 ‪‎Chiefs 23m Farcical try for Tom Sanders from series of knock backs in goal area after charge down
‪Stormers 7-24 ‪‎Chiefs 25m McKenzie converts the try while Stormers must be mystified at that score
‪Stormers 7-24 ‪‎Chiefs 27m Chiefs have penalty from wide outside the 22 & McKenzie but Toni Pulu on for Donald 
‪Stormers 7-27 ‪‎Chiefs 28m Chiefs continue to gallop ahead on scoreboard & the pace in insane of this match
‪Stormers 7-27 ‪‎Chiefs 30m Referees could do with being a tad more observant for forward passes & the like...
‪Stormers 7-27 ‪‎Chiefs 31m Stormers aren't short of territory but just not making that much of it when they can
‪Stormers 7-32 ‪‎Chiefs 33m More from luck than skill as James Lowe flies over the whitewash to score
‪Stormers 7-34 ‪‎Chiefs 35m McKenzie, however, doesn't need luck as it's pure skill to convert from touch
‪Stormers 7-34 ‪‎Chiefs 37m Stormers have battled their way into the Chiefs 22 & it's pick n go, pick n go...
‪Stormers 12-34 ‪‎Chiefs 38m It's Koch that's hard to suppress & he bounces over the tryline to score well
‪Stormers 14-34 ‪‎Chiefs 39m du Preez converts & the Stormers gain some confidence from that score
‪Stormers 14-34 ‪‎Chiefs 40m Stormers need to convert pressure in 22 into points - actually must get into 22 more
‪Stormers 14-34 ‪‎Chiefs 40m Looks like Chiefs might squeeze in one more try but ball finds touch... HT
‪
Stormers 14-34 ‪‎Chiefs HT T: Koch (2) C: du Preez | T: McNichol, Weber, Sanders, Lowe C: McKenzie (4) P: McKenzie (2) 
‪
Stormers 14-34 ‪‎Chiefs 41m Final half of final quarter final & Sam Cane has been taken off as a precaution
‪Stormers 14-34 ‪‎Chiefs 42m Lachlan Boshier has replaced Cane & so far, it's just as fierce as first half
‪Stormers 14-34 ‪‎Chiefs 44m Stormers defensive scrum which is not fed straight then Chiefs shove over anyway...
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 45m ...just excellent hands from the Chiefs & McKenzie quick steps over the tryline to score
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 46m McKenzie misses the conversion but he's probably not too worried about that!
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 51m Apologies for missing 5mins. @SkySportsRugby think it's acceptable to kill the feed!
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 52m The score hasn't changed in the meantime; Chiefs in possession but in own 22...
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 53m But all that pressure from the Stormers amounts to nothing with defensive 22 lineout now 
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 54m Meanwhile, Kebble, Malherbe & Ntubeni on for Vermaak, Koch & Mbonambi
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 55m Stormers are finally back in Chiefs 22 following awesome charge from Schalk Burger
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 56m Homeside have advantage, & eventually the whistle goes for the penalty...
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 57m A strong maul from Stormers and they drive ahead towards the tryline - pick n go... 
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 58m A crosskick almost sees the Stormers over in corner but a double hit tackle stops it
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 59m Stormers lineout is good but Chiefs secure scrum as more replacements are readying... 
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 61m Thomson for du Preez | Kerr-Barlow, Koloamatangi, Graham & Fisi’ihoi for Weber, Seu, Moli & Hames
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 63m Stormers did disrupt that Chiefs scrum but now another for visitors on 10m
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 65m Chiefs make some yards but now it's a defensive scrum for Stormers in 22...
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 66m Thought I was hearing things, but definitely a section of crowd singing Swing Low! 
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 67m And odd hearing Exeter Chiefs chant...but these are the Chiefs too!
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 68m Carr for Elstadt | Elliott for Harris 
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 68m A huge charge to the Chiefs' tryline & it looks like Stormers will finally score again
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 69m But ball's not grounded; meanwhile Peyper warns Cruden any more offsides & it's YC 
‪Stormers 14-39 ‪‎Chiefs 71m Despite the warning, Chiefs continue to infringe & ref does nothing
‪Stormers 19-39 ‪‎Chiefs 72m Good setpiece from Stormers & Nizaam Carr lands a try from 22 lineout
‪Stormers 19-39 ‪‎Chiefs 73m Thomson converts the try, but it's sadly too little far too late
‪Stormers 21-39 ‪‎Chiefs 74m Schickerling & Schreuder for du Toit & Groom | Stevenson for Cruden
‪Stormers 21-44 ‪‎Chiefs 75m Meanwhile, Elliott decides he deserves to get on scoreboard too...
‪Stormers 21-46 ‪‎Chiefs 76m McKenzie, of course, converts. The Chiefs are just toying with the Stormers now... 
‪Stormers 21-51 ‪‎Chiefs 78m Koloamatangi also wants a piece of the action & from ruck he hustles over whitewash
‪Stormers 21-53 ‪‎Chiefs 79m More points from McKenzie, & there's still time for more!
‪Stormers 21-58 ‪‎Chiefs 80m McKenzie initiates the final score, & it's finished off by Kerr-Barlow with a sprint
‪Stormers 21-60 ‪‎Chiefs 80+1m McKenzie takes his personal tally to 25 from 60 points scored. It's finally over
