Just interested in what the rest of you thought of the game given the conditions?

Pretty bruising right till the end

I was at the game last night and got soaked despite sitting under cover as the wind was blowing and swirling.
Like any game in those sort of conditions it became a bit of a lottery and at the end of the day a draw was a fair result. Nether teams were happy as they both needed an outright win to ensure a semi spot.
Hats off the the people of Cape Town who have filled the stadium each week and who came down despite the terrible weather.
We have averaged over 42,000 per game this season.
And hats off to the Stormers who have put behind them a number of lean years to play some great rugby.
