[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 903434, member: 59145"] Very keen, I can finally (probably) stay up for a game in Argentina. Have to say the Jaguares are probably still favourites after a string of dominant performances (and it's a home game). Here's my take on this weeks games: [B]Crusaders [/B]vs Hurricanes , Crusaders at home and I feel like they are the more complete team at this stage of the competition. Less shuffling of their team in general and more of an all round game. That said, if the Crusaders can almost lose to the Waratahs they can certainly lose to one of the best teams in the comp. Probably game of the round. [B]Rebels [/B]vs Sunwolves, I know the Wolves have won the last two and are on a bit of a roll, but they do seem to up the intensity at home. I'd imagine the Rebels will be too strong in Aus especially considering the Wolves tend to play weaker teams when they travel. [B]Jaguares [/B]vs Sharks, I'd love to see the Sharks win here but we can't deny the Jaguares have been on a very strong run, last week they demolished a Bulls team that beat the Sharks not so long ago. Will hopefully be tight and it has been suggested that the Sharks are better equipped to deal with the Jaguares game plan (up front and in the territory game) but away from home is a tough ask. [B]Chiefs [/B]vs Waratahs[B], [/B]The Chiefs are returning from traveling after a long tour, the Tahs are finishing up a long tour, I feel like another win for the Tahs will probably be a little too much to ask. If D-mac plays I think the Chiefs win. Surprisingly a very close game to call though, I wouldn't put it past the Tahs to win this one. Reds vs [B]Highlanders[/B], surely the Highlanders are too good for the Reds... Right? Maybe? Reds have looked a pretty tough nut to crack at times especially at home. Highlanders have looked a little shakey lately but surely not this shakey. [B]Bulls [/B]vs Brumbies, I mean... I hope, no reason Bulls lose this imo, potential banana skin if they underestimate the Brumbies Stormers vs [B]Lions, [/B]Lions just the better more consistent team this year, still the Stormers have pulled off some good wins this year at home. On the other other hand South African teams have really struggled to beat the Lions of late, and if anyone is going to do it I can't see it being the Stormers. Pretty standard predictions from me. I think we can be fairly confident we'll see a few upsets. I wouldn't put it past the Sharks/Tahs. [/QUOTE]
