If this was Canberra the i would agree with that statement but its Cape town and i don't think the brumbies will have it their own way. The stormers was the team to beat before they played the sharks in the SA conference. They were unlucky not to win it to be honest.Can't see the Stormers winning this. Given the injuries in their backline to De Allende and Du Preez they have little try scoring capabilities. They will be matched up front and probably bested in the set pieces, as well as finding the Brumbies backs too difficult to deal with. Should be reasonably comfortable for the Brumbies.

Now unlike the June internationals especially with super rugby home ground counts a lot. As for the Brumbies they played the Hurricanes and Waratahs at home and then played the force in Perth.
My point is that this is the first real test for the brumbies to see what they can do away from home. If the Brumbies win then they deserve to be called ***le favourites for this season.
I agree the brumbies backline is better than the stormers and they have much more creativity and cutting edge as You say. But its not that simple as the stormers backline is one of the best defensively in this competition so that is something i would like to see. As for the forwards the best lineout combination in the competition is playing for the stormers and i expect them to win set pieces more often than not.
I expect a similar game like the last year in Cape Town, another win for the Ponies
There were two matches last year between these teams. One was a tight win by the Stormers and one was a significant win for the Brumbies away.

You didn't say that though, but not a big deal, probably just a typo.
I don't think we are going to win this one. I expect it to be tight, but I am getting the sense that our attack hasn't improved since getting rid of AC, which is disappointing. We may potentially have a run of three losses in a row coming up (including the Sharks).

Say i land tomorrow in Cape Town and wanna purchase a ticket for the game, what price range would i be looking at? Not talking about season tickets or equivalent. Ballpark figure, course.
Thanks in advance.
