00:38and here in cape town today looking to do something against ty burns team that they have not done in
00:45the first three editions of the vodacom united rugby championship and that is to beat munster
00:51they've lost twice away to munster and then in the 2022 2023 edition of the competition munster
01:00came here during pool play and beat the stormers by 26 points to 24 they then met in the final
01:09of that competition the second edition of the vodacom urc and it was munster who emerged
01:16victorious by 19 points to 14 to take the title on this ground so they have good memories here
01:25but dan duplessy leading out his dhl stormers team and looking to make amends for a record
01:32which does not make them proud joseph to ever replacing andre hijo fenta in the middle of the
01:38front row and damian villum so once again starting in the number 10 jersey
01:45so munster with two wins and two losses from their first four outings in this year's competition
01:52the storm is starting out with a loss away to the ospreys then that win against zebra
01:57and then last weekend the last match of their three match tour losing out by 38 points to seven
02:03against edinburgh mike adamson of scotland is the referee with amy barrett turon and aj
02:08yacobs on the sidelines holly davidson of scotland in the tmo booth and alongside me
02:15in commentary former springboard cooker hanyani good afternoon matthew a stormer team looking to
02:21buck the train and a monster team that wants to get into the winner's circle a team monster that
02:27has traveled well in south africa gotten some good results a stormer team happy to be back home
02:32it's been five months so it's been a long time between drinks can the storm has bucked the trend
02:37well jack crowley he cemented himself firmly as johnny sexton's replacement in the island number
02:4410 jersey started two tests against south africa here in south africa in victoria and durban
02:52on the july internationals fabulous two match series
02:55oh
02:57as it's underway in cape town and pulled a vet of the clearance from the base
03:03for the dhl stormers decent start for munster getting some field position early that's a
03:09regular start from both teams the deep kickoff you're trying to slow it down to get a good
03:14kick in position there's your buck with that drug on the 15 but munster how many all is dangerous
03:19from his attack take burn you need the target man scandal we want to start strong
03:29mile scandal towards the tail there's a contest on the throw to tom ahern but
03:36dealt with it well into the midfield for alex candelon
03:41who's in that number seven jersey in place of john hodnert who started in the big derby against
03:46linster croak park a week ago before they traveled now crowley over the top and to
03:51absolutely no one calvin nash was an island team added behind the mark come in fields
04:00nash was on the way back home he'd gone with that midfield head up you can see him running there
04:04look at nash there you go okay i was running positive but he's not quick enough and that
04:09poor recycling was too quick no one home from munster five so messy start on attack but there
04:14was space there
04:36as far as the storm is intended possession back with munster crowley
04:41looking for the big ball over the top lost forward off the hands
04:48mike haley has some consolidation to do but they'll come back for the knock on first scrum knock on
04:56and i think you can see munster they're trying that bridge pass that pass over the top
05:01because the storm was cutting the wide options but the last man is hanging on the five meter very wide
05:06and that's where the space is but sometimes that can be fool's gold against the rush defense what
05:11you want to do is punch up the middle and then look for space i'm also probably trying to go
05:15earlier wide a little bit too early okay good balance and nice and square huge experience
05:24in this monster front row the fewest appearances in this competition the 94 of jeremy lockman
05:32scandal with 132 prior to this game and john ryan who's in this week for
05:38steven archer who's on the bench 170 appearances in this competition
05:50connor murray off the back of a nice steady scrum for munster
05:57turnover turn over good for the storm is away by murabi
06:04pulled a bit spotting the defense quickly up looking for an offload in contact find
06:10quickly back on his feet little juggle from shikaling but regathered
06:16all not touching either one of his own players or a monster player so no knock on
06:26quickly out the back from tiernissen beautiful ball inside for zastronel who gets it back
06:33popped up for the vet looking for runners finds williamson
06:37another change of direction and a good line from geland to the ball out the back for williamson
06:42was good but couldn't hang on inside looking for offloads before contact crowley now with
06:51the clearance kick and a decent one down towards halfway and that's the beauty when the storm was
06:56when they get going no runs for him when there is a rack the balls coming out pretty quickly
07:01but momentum on momentum continuity uh
07:09loops around here looking to create some magic early on just didn't land
07:14but the storm was looking to create early on five
07:22five men line out for the stormers but it's over the top of ben jason dixon and
07:33gathered by scannell for munster and quickly out into those wider channels
07:39tom ferrell did so well in the colors of connett relishing his opportunity and here is shane daly
07:45on a beautiful line tackle made by warwick geland onside murray has quick rut ball burn out the back
07:53crowley had to reach to fetch it and now the interception from salamon hotzenberg he's being
07:59chased down by ferrell they won't catch him hotzenberg is in very much against the grain
08:08but bringing a sizable crowd in cape town to their feet
08:16second try in this year's competition and a tenth in total for salamon hotzenberg
08:24into the starting line up for angelo davids and straight onto the score sheet and the storm is
08:29here munster a little bit frantic there he goes it pops up for salamon hotzenberg the question was
08:36did he have the gas or the juice to go the distance he certainly does no one getting close to him
08:42salamon hotzenberg over he goes for the first one in greenpoint stadium for the stormers
08:51the only change in the starting back division from the team that suffered that defeat at the hands
08:58of enbra last weekend salamon hotzenberg for angelo davids
09:04he wants to see herschel yankees back in the 23 as well returning from
09:10a shoulder injury one of two backline players on the bench today
09:13looking to make his first appearance of the season now villumsa
09:21a sweet strike from villumsa smiles on their faces
09:30this time munster getting the opportunity to have a go there's no that's the rush that's
09:34the line speed that's the pressure pressure into mistakes defense could
09:42defense giving opportunity and salamon hotzenberg runs it in for the stormers
09:55so
09:57jack crowley's restart lots of hang time and
10:02not cleanly held by the stormers but then lost forward there was a chance there
10:09for munster on that restart beautifully contestable kick from crowley okay
10:17all right so it's a well-placed kick it didn't help because name was shouting and i heard just
10:21needed to snap that up but one way to kick jimmy teams will go deeper from that position
10:27because they want the kick they want the strike from the kick off to put pressure on
10:31get a line up just outside the 22 meter area and look to build from there
10:36but months are going with the early one the contestable very early in the game
10:41yeah
10:45yet for sure here on the near side the tight end jersey looked a bit bemused by some of the
10:52decisions that went against him when he was up against pierre schumann and indra last week that
10:58made a strong start to the campaign
11:04here reset and the storm has had the nudge i think
11:08a bit of confusion at the back kicking whatever wanted to play it and he had his shoulders
11:13disconnected but aggressive hit from the storm square a little bit of a fight in the beginning
11:18but the pressure started to come through there there it is tc trying to stay nice and square
11:24this john ryan turned in so that gives t the opportunity to go straight for the ribs
11:30stay driving on the loose end
11:31second
11:36two changes in the front row this week for the stormers their rotations
11:42last week's starters andre hitler fainter and brock harris reverting to the bench
11:47set
11:55too early from munster storm is getting the free kick that's the first one that they've done
12:02that's a tricky thing matthew here generally you want to scrum for a penalty so if you kick long
12:06you get that ball back from the lineup now the storm is a force to kick a contestable
12:10and this can go anywhere coming down light on halfway backwards of a munster player
12:17three gathered by schickeling who did well
12:22villumster there's a man down in back play here for munster carried back very slow to get to his
12:27feet warwick a lunch off the left boot brilliant kick but it will not be a 50 22 that ball was
12:33carried back into the storm is half of the field that is yeah mike haley
12:41he came from a long way back also started his jump pretty early
12:49from that contestable kick so this could just be a little bit of wind
12:54okay
13:06yeah he got carried back in yeah really not looking comfortable
13:13mike haley another hugely experienced players in this monster side he's
13:18been in the side for all four it's going to be your penalty
13:26let's tackle off the ball this year's competitions appearances so far
13:32um so we've got a tackle off the ball 83rd against your number in total in the competition
13:39just where that player was done it's going to be a penalty here against
13:43for sure yeah from this area for a tackle off the ball
13:48thank you
13:52just here jack
13:55good to go
13:59tackle off the ball
14:02it's a big let off here for monsters jack crowley gets to
14:05kick towards the dhl storm is 22 amy barrett toronto will have her flag up
14:13just inside that 22 meter area stormers on the line
14:21seven seven
14:25i'm still walking in scannell locked and loaded ready to go
14:29eventually a full compliment to the line out but uh poached but then popped up by the vets
14:36and gathered back by monster lockman goes to the short side to ever with an attempt over the ball
14:44cleaned off it spectacularly then tom ahern murray candelon
14:53cleaning work is good at ruck time from munster as they edge forward farrell
15:02no no only on the body delon wants it and has it support from jack o'donoghue but a
15:08solid tackle from ben jason dixon recycled for ty burn quick placement of the ball
15:14and here is calvin nash looking to his left for daily
15:23murray popped inside for o'donoghue
15:30way by murray for burn once again great understanding between the irish internationals
15:36all over the top from crowley it's gone forward no try for mike haley
15:44good control from monster but the patience from deep and the discipline
15:48from the storm is defensively they generally after a couple of routes you see a penalty advantage
15:52but recycling while not spending a lot of time on the ground
15:55the crowd enjoying that but you can see the numbers all coming up nice and connected
16:01enforcing that long pass over the top but you can see the scramble d also from the stormers
16:06called immediately the forward pass yeah i was pretty sure i was pretty certain it was forward
16:10but the intensity monster picking up the intensity in the storm is off
16:15you can see the pack coming alive coming hard around the corner
16:18totally unrelated to start a scrum yeah please help on you
16:23john ryan munsters tied the man receiving okay
16:27attention ahead of the scrum
16:32stephen archer who started against lenster last week spoke about john ryan's 170
16:40appearances in the vodacom urc prior to this one say again of course taking into account its
16:49previous formats pro 12 pro 14 step on stephen archer he comes on today 230th
17:00appearance massive experience at munster's disposal across the front row
17:10oh
17:28much better stability that time storm is looking for the second show of front row standing up
17:35uh
17:39you're coming up you stay down the roof wants to see
17:44is the pecs going forward not sideways like that the storm is certainly going for this one
18:05what looks a bit reshuffled this week in munster's back row with jack o'donoghue playing
18:14eight he started at six against lenster can tell an info hodlett
18:19tomahurn into the number six jersey play the ball nine play the ball
18:25pull the vet being told to play away by mike adamson
18:28warwick reliant
18:32and then making the clearance
18:39doesn't look particularly happy
18:45never
18:48what's that
18:53you don't want the scrum battle to end because there's a collapse down on the ground you actually
18:56want scrum competitions
19:03scannell schickeling was up in the air again to contest and although not going to hand it's
19:10an opportunity for a hack through and another speculative pass sailing over
19:17the head this time of shane dalian into touch
19:19it's just a silly mistake so was that mike haley running sideways
19:26so you're buying time for that wing on the outside first of all you're taking his time away then you
19:31throw the pass which chances are he might be looking to cut back in or come a little bit
19:35closer to you thinking you're going to get contact a good net result for the stormers
19:41they'll want to build on this five is on front ball is for adre smith and quickly back for keke
19:48morabe dan duplicy
19:54carly held on nicely in the tackle popped out the back from
19:57ben jason dixon divette and willemsa
20:08onto that left boot of his which has brought so much success with the grubber
20:18munster doing well to to track back there
20:21i'm going to try and set a better angle for a clearance kick with the carry from burn
20:35no it's not how you stay back to it back to it thank you
20:40so conor murray benefits from that improved angle to to make the clearance but
20:45extended period now of dhl stormers with set piece possession inside
20:54munster's territory now it was a good recovery from munster
20:58collant with that probing kick up against the touchline so managed to slow the game down
21:02get into position and exit but still under the pump here storm was a little like from
21:08first phase you want to create a good punch here get quick rock ball and beat the fold
21:15oh
21:19over the top of marcel tennyson and a line out gifted the way of munster daily
21:27and then tom farrell
21:31staying strong in contact
21:33so
21:40not the speed of of rock ball that conor murray necessarily would have wanted now the hoist from
21:45crowley good contest from tomahearn in the air but the scraps gathered by warwick collant and a
21:52clever kick infield bounces nicely for crowley and inside he's 22 off the left boot excellent
22:01kick from jack crowley there's a lot of work to do here for damian villumsa the charge down
22:06is from shane daly brilliant work from zas to get across and cover
22:14munster piling in the counter-ruck is good and farrell is over
22:20capitalizing on the kick charge down zas working hard off the ball but outnumbered at the breakdown
22:27the counter-ruck was powerful they stayed on their feet and tom farrell i didn't think he did
22:32i didn't think he did on hand to round off the move i think he was running back in support that's
22:36smart played it i don't think fantastic play from munster first of all this kick and the ability
22:44storm was going backwards but daily shane daily that with the charge down so villumsa trying to
22:50clear but daily does well but the most important thing is to maintain your discipline because
22:55generally players chasing there will fall off their feet but munster do they stay on the feet
22:59good counter-rack good strength and the ability to spot the space out there well done to tag burn
23:06off to farrell but that counter-rack was where the trouble started for the stormers good discipline
23:12from munster taking the opportunities a wonderful finish you think where that started way back in
23:19their 22 meter area after what looked like a clever cross kick into space by warwick
23:26gallant it bounced kindly for this man jack crowley got incredible distance off the left boot
23:34to create that pressure
23:37and now convert it into points a kick to bring munster back on even terms
23:42and after the first quarter we are tied up at seven apiece
23:54and villumsa beach charge down there but daily did well the follow-up here
23:59and good rescue from zasu thought the stormers had gotten out of trouble but the ability to
24:04counter i can read it well forwards doing what backs do and the biggest man in the pack or the
24:09tallest man burn plays the scrum off rope a lovely touch from munster's captain
24:20restart from villumsa
24:23wait to be played on crowley
24:30villumsa for warwick gallant
24:33good read from jack crowley he's got plenty of time to assess his options
24:41paul davette the man coming across in cover of it
24:47ball winning the race to the touchline just shepherded by paul davette crowley was making
24:52a fair attempt little minor shove off the ball yeah and what crowley did here as he looked up
24:58dropped back so the space was the immediate space was just off to the above past the chase line
25:05but that's a perfect scrum off role
25:08paul davette read that beautifully good covering from the scrum off
25:13better line out from the dhl stormers to ever and audrey smith
25:18okay use it on side now davette's kick for soleil manhattanburg to chase
25:32brilliant work in the air from shane daly's made a very solid start to this game
25:36chest there's a big hit initially from adre smith on jeremy lochman
25:44very firm in that tackle and able to make some post-contact meters
25:57yeah audrey smith i think he just lost his legs as he went there
26:00rockman actually braced in contact so managed to bounce out of that
26:15oh
26:24what happened i think tackle was caught and then the strip came
26:28so you gotta let the you gotta let him go you gotta release seven you know
26:32shelling was penalized for that in enver last week which led to a try being disallowed
26:38contests on the throw eventually away by a hern what i'm saying with the tackle
26:48mike adamson has his arm out for advantage to munster burn advantage
26:54got past the the first would-be tackler then driven back hard by shekeling
26:59just here tackling there still in the air don't interfere with the jumper the penalty is for
27:04interference in the air at the line out and jack crowley showing absolutely no interest in the
27:10three points on offer the problem the storm is they've conceded two penalties in a row
27:17you go to the one with a tackle release now here and look where you end up when you're
27:21two penalties in a row you go to the one with a tackle release now here and look where you
27:26end up when you're five meters on the arms so the worst place you don't want to give away you
27:32don't want to give away penalties but one on the halfway line another one just outside the 22
27:38and now eyes up right front age you're in trouble
27:40over the top they go and gathered by villumsa both teams missing their share of lineouts
27:56in his first 23 minutes until stormers have lost three he's been touched that's a second loss
28:05on their own ball from munster awkward one for daily and hayley had to juggle did well
28:13murray scannell beautiful ball out of the back of the hand and more momentum for munster o'brien
28:21from daily
28:33almost a little mix up from munster they were able to consolidate in a way for scannell crowley
28:39a little slip that got away from marcel tennyson
28:43both available now
28:47o'brien couldn't get the pass away some excellent line speed there from salamon hotzenberg shooting
28:52out just to put pressure on the pass and one of munster's strengths is the ability to hold on to
28:58the ball but sometimes almost looking a little bit frantic yeah i mean one two three four five
29:07attackers here his desperation to get the ball out wide but sometimes just take the punishment
29:12take the hits and look to replay from then on when they're good
29:15is when they get quick right ball with numbers around the ball attacking as one
29:20i'm not offending with that i don't know it'd be the same if it was your guys
29:25that replay from the higher camera was touch and go salamon hotzenberg may have been a little
29:32too quickly out of the gate but he's got away with it if he was
29:35a happy cape town crowd delighted to be here first time the dhl stormers
29:42have played at home in five months john dobson was saying
29:47given that their first round in this competition was postponed it'll be replayed during the
29:55six nations window they were due to play the vodacom bulls in round one
29:59okay so started their campaign in round two away to the ospreys
30:10yeah so we've seen the players making a legal tackle he's in a good position to
30:13make a legal tackle so we're not seeing it's going to be a change for munster niles kennel
30:20unable to wait carry on we're not sure yet if that is an hia he's going straight to the
30:28the tunnel time back on and the man replacing him owen clark first appearance of this campaign
30:37clearly outside shoulder
30:43another dhl stormers lineups lost
30:51both teams have never owned up to that one straight away but a lot of overthrows you've
30:56at the back of the line up just over the 50 meter line
31:13approach
31:26powerful scrum from munster that brings them a penalty advantage
31:32it's gone right in the 90s i can't play advantage power from
31:35munster and you can see from the hit the stormers were in trouble not an aggressive enough hit on
31:40the setup so again the storm is under the pump you think that just as they're about to get out
31:46of trouble with that line out back under pressure again and munster going for a chair
31:53so from the setup the storm is disconnecting at the back row
32:01and monster coming right through five five man once again opting for the five meter lineup first
32:12no contest on the throw to ty burn
32:15come munster able to set them all with clark in possession at the tail one stop called but
32:22they've managed to wheel and over what an entry into the game for owen clark
32:30on for niall scannell just his 11th appearance in the vodacom urc his first one of this season
32:39part of a front row that won a scrum penalty successful lineups and now over for his second
32:45try in vodacom urc rugby that all started from the power from the scrum that's the net result
32:54poor taken right in the middle of the line up munster had to be patient
32:57clock at the back just waited waited for the crack to come and eventually rolled through the open side
33:02for the crack to come and eventually rolled through the open side and down there went
33:09i'll tell you vocal traveling support whenever munster have been here
33:15we've seen a good smattering of red inside the dhl stadium
33:22not least when they lifted the trophy here in cape town in the 2022 23 edition
33:29with the vodacom urc beating the defending champion dhl stormers 19 points to 14 in this stadium
33:39so
33:52and jack crowley has pulled his conversion attempt wide so the margin
33:57remains five as we head towards the end of the first half hour
34:03his body position just too low almost impossible to stop
34:07with momentum coming around the corner he drops his shoulders low
34:10drives out of his legs but the hard work was done in front by the other players
34:17and clark picked his moment beautifully
34:21the home crowd has gone a little quiet and looking for their team to make a response and
34:31and objective one is get hands on the ball
34:34hovering at around one third of the possession over the first almost half hour of this game
34:41just not able to hold on to it for long enough and their set piece
34:47misfiring by their standards back from warwick and secured by joseph to ever
34:53geland
34:56another offload before contact from the stormers
35:03will dig through off the left boot back goes calvin nash in cover
35:13right that'll do for those little gravity kicks from geland when they hop up
35:19into the hands of a grateful wing they look fantastic but
35:23munster have been able to cover them so far in this game
35:31okay monster use it
35:36it ended up as just being a case of kicking possession away the attacking intent is there
35:42on site so far munster responded well murray
35:49villum sir with some time spilling out of the tackle of shane daly
35:56it's a beautiful stepping from villum sir gives shickling the opportunity for a front football
36:03divette for tinnison little isolated and divette sucked into that ruck so dweber fills in
36:11at the base morabe
36:16then shickling again
36:21for them sir helant keeping ball in hand that time
36:27soleyman hotzenberg the man to set the ruck
36:31morabe with another carry
36:32three
36:38arms over the top of the tackle in setting it nicely with the ball out the back not going to
36:42hand now they've got to rebuild again duplicy and hotzenberg it's gone forward off hotzenberg
36:50and then off amongst the players so a lot of promise in the build-up
36:57but ultimately back at halfway and having coughed up possession
37:02and also a little bit frantic there i think there must have been a possible cut there
37:07where the players miscommunicated that's where the pass went backwards there that that was the
37:13one there the client was coming in and paul divette was looking out wide to see so that's
37:18where that pass where they missed each other from here you're going backwards to transfer the game
37:23down slightly
37:33a little collision there between sean o'brien
37:38and soleyman hotzenberg
37:42o'brien who was originally named on the bench for this encounter
37:47alex nankieville a late withdrawal from the match 23 so o'brien up off the bench to start
37:55in the midfield alongside tom ferrell and the man replacing him on the bench gavin coos
38:00i didn't see it i thought it was on the chest i was running through traffic
38:05yeah well let the team all look at it
38:08yeah
38:18there was just a bit of a shoulder to shoulder clash there
38:23nothing untoward created that little whiplash effect
38:26yeah
38:29he looks okay hotzenberg so we've checked both head contacts there's nothing nothing in them
38:36we check 14 from the storm has conceded a penalty we checked number 14 for a head contact but we
38:40didn't see anything the last one it's just going to be play on here time on
38:51keep it nice and square again stay straight
38:56so
39:04crouch the possession stats improving for the storm is mostly due to that last
39:10multiple phase play but actually ending up losing possession and some territory
39:17the back end of that move that's a magnificent scrum well you asked for it they delivered
39:26and a couple of words there to have a fight up
39:31but that's where the storm is you can't have one good scrum one bad scrum
39:36you need to keep your momentum and keep the pressure on i have no idea why you're up here
39:41you're back here yeah that's good from mark adamson ruan nel is in the midst of that he said
39:49i have no idea what you're doing here
39:51you got 13 on your back fella
40:00a bit of a wobbly kick but a mighty effective one from damian villumson
40:03and the storm was fired up here we work more as a unit as a collective unit straight through the
40:09middle which was played there was actually in space five five man is it exactly and you can
40:19see here the net result is look what happens from this penalty now you want to convert
40:27stay out receiver two meters
40:36eight receiver
40:36four
40:40the best lineup position in the game for the stormers and tennyson
40:49not setting them all allowing tennyson to break away and make some valuable territory
40:56vantage tomahawk was called off it by mike adamson you've rolled clear rock formed
41:03slowing the ball down on the five here
41:08the quick tap is taken mike adamson was unsighted but now has awarded the try marcel tennyson the
41:16man who made the break from the back of the lineup before or more had been formed is the man
41:23who now responds to the penalty with a quick tap
41:27i was right there i gave him his first try of the campaign and matthew what tennyson does well
41:35is he drops his shoulders just before contact then you gotta drive your legs you'll never get
41:40that try if you're upright so he's watching but look he just dips just before contact
41:46then you drive your legs over adamson there so he's covering the pool but he's got it over but
41:51look how low he is from that position drives his legs drives his legs
41:57and on the line
42:00try given okay but good body positioning in terms of contact nice and low almost below the
42:10the knees of the men's defenders so excellent response firstly from the scrum
42:17then the line kicked from villum set the line artwork and then tennyson's tribe
42:24villum said to take the dhl storm is back in front it's two out of two for him
42:39and marcel tennyson quickly but nice and low
42:42drives his legs and the cavalry comes in by that stage he's done the damage
42:48he's done the damage he's done the damage he's done the damage he's done the damage
42:50niall scannell has completed his head injury assessment and has been
42:57cleared to return a wonderful contribution from owen clark in his absence
43:04being part of a pack that earned a scrum penalty winning a line out and then scoring munch's
43:10second try there you go no doubt you'll see more of him in the second half of the game
43:19strong carry from
43:24can you use it thank you lengthy ruck is formed to vet
43:29just giving chase and trying to push his way through the traffic
43:32and he's earned a penalty as a consequence
43:35it you spoke earlier about consecutive penalties being conceded by the storm is giving munster
43:45field position similar here
43:49scored off a penalty now off the restart and conceded another and immediately
43:55the home side can get deep into munster territory that's a beautiful kick
44:00that's a beautiful kick from villum so right on the mark
44:06the monster what they're trying to do is look after the guy changes lane there isn't it
44:11that's pretty clear and obvious from jack o'donoghue silly actually very silly a soft penalty
44:16because there are more than enough numbers chasing back for him to do that six months
44:20so you can see stepped out of his lane just to slow us down a bit but the storm as you look at
44:25the time on the clock you look at where they are they need this one they want this one
44:30two
44:32trickling the target and immediate forward momentum for them all
44:39and then the ball lost forward it was on the breakaway was on
44:46they know it frustration you're on kake morabe such a good player he'll be disappointed with
44:54that and you can see what he was thinking there matthew he had the ball probably he was the ripper
44:58they so had the ball and the temptation as that wheels around that it opens up slightly
45:05so he's fighting to get through if he gets that ball there he's over the line
45:14good balance hold the pressure
45:19but still it's not the end yet stormers will look for a good scrum
45:22him apply that pressure
45:32this is where the experience you see the experience of aquana mary
45:35from this position knows when to slow the game down when to pick the pace up
45:39orders wants to be in control no one back near the dead ball line here
45:46oh conor murray wants a free kick and that's the experience but he puts that
45:51corner because it won the head keep it square monster in trouble so he slows it down reset
46:01okay let's go then let's go what does it remind me member 50 clerk in paris world cup final
46:07that last minute the last 30 seconds when he delayed that put in got the reset for the spring
46:12box such a skill for the scrum of to read when your team's on top in the scrum
46:28set
46:34another huge effort but quickly out by connor murray
46:38here i just want to manage the clock here but can they manage it long enough before
46:45making the clearance kick perhaps not marie is set for the clearance
46:57play on going quickly off the line out for villumsa donahue diving over the top
47:04excellent tackle from connor murray and whoever was coming at pace
47:21the bench can feel it yeah it's close there's almost that tension in the crowd where
47:28we must almost survive and we're just hanging on here and to have a
47:33at place probably looked up slightly but he gets that pole he's doing some damage
47:37and the stormers have got numbers out on the right hand side
47:42what i want from you is hold the weight back for the balls and there's a lot of jeremy lochman
47:46for the ball monster's loose head is receiving some attention looks like his left knee
47:52yeah and probably at that previous scrum which was disintegrating as conor murray
48:00very calmly it looks like a lot of weight coming to extract the ball
48:04yeah i know you want to attack that one because it's on the five meter line or it's close up
48:07there okay but just wait so did well to get that channel one ball quickly in an hour
48:14that's the beauty of a player like warrior command you first receiver down the blind
48:17side matthew so villumsa took that pull out to us at the bottom of the rack and he became first
48:21receiver
48:48took a little bit of attention there
48:50and that left knee of jeremy lochman needs to hold out for 10 meters right here it looks like
48:56being one last set piece i can't imagine munster will launch from here this is first receiver
49:04what is looking to create that's forward
49:10that's it he almost looks like he's got time on the board all the time
49:16the double triple pump keep the defenders busy
49:24hold the way keep it square this is going to be a test for
49:27lockman here especially on that knee of his that left knee
49:34that is the halftime siren at dhl stadium decent crowd in big weekend of sport in the
