Ryan took me to my first ever Stormers rugby match on Saturday, and it was lekker! Though the Stormers have been struggling this season, they put on quite a defensive show against one of the best teams in Super 15. The Stormers held the Reds to no tries, but fly-half Quade Cooper's boot was true, knocking all 15 of the Australian side's points in with his foot (against a decent wind, at that). The Stormers didn't have the same success kicking, but captain Jean de Villiers (also captain of the national team Springboks) put in the one and only try of the game with a magnificent long run right down our side of the pitch.
In all, it was a great time, Ryan reminded me of things I already knew and taught me a lot of new stuff, and the game was fantastic. I know the stadium looks a bit empty in some of the pictures, but that's because we were on the crowded, rowdy side.
