[QUOTE="Dumbo, post: 102673"] Most punters say that the Cheetahs have the upper hand in this one. For mine this one will not be over till it's over. Lokking at the Head to Head: CHEETAHS 15 Phillip Burger, 14 Eddie Fredericks, 13 Marius Joubert, 12 Meyer Bosman, 11 Ronnie Cooke, 10 Herkie Kruger, 9 Noel Oelschig; 8 Darren Nell, 7 Juan Smith ©, 6 Kabamba Floors, 5 Corniel van Zyl, 4 Bian Vermaak, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Adriaan Strauss, 1 Wiaan du Preez. Reserves: 16 Richardt Strauss, 17 CJ van der Linde, 18 Hendro Scholtz, 19 Ryno van der Merwe, 20 Michael Claassens, 21 Gavin Passens, 22 Tiger Mangweni. CRUSADERS: 15 Scott Hamilton, 14 Brent Ward, 13 Casey Laulala, 12 Rua Tipoki, 11 Caleb Ralph, 10 Stephen Brett, 9 Andrew Ellis; 8 Mose Tuiali'i, 7 Johnny Leo'o, 6 Kieran Read, 5 Michael Paterson, 4 Ross Filipo, 3 Campbell Ben Franks, 2 Corey Flynn ©, 1 Wyatt Crockett. Reserves: 16 Ti'i Paulo, 17 Ben May, 18 Jake Paringatai, 19 Isaac Ross, 20 Kevin Senio, 21 Tusi Pisi, 22 Tim Bateman. There's some good match up's here... Joubert on Laulala, Marius has the experiance at top level while Laulala is starting to mature into the 13 jersey, both are good on defence with Laulala a bit more hungry in attack. Bosman on Tipoki, completly differant playing styles.. Bosman has the all round skill set of a quality 1st5, passing, kicking, defence, organising the defensive and attacking lines whilst Rua is an up the middle, stand in the tackle, bust the line, smash 'em in defence sort of player... brains agaisnt muscle... should be good to watch. Kruger on Brett, great oppurtunity for both players to step up and control the game... again should be a good one to watch. Smith on Leo'o, this one should be really interesting as on paper you'd expect Smith to dominate Leo'o (specially with the game Smith had last week) BUT Leo'o is funny sort of player - you never know when he's going to step up... after last weeks loss I think he'll be looking to sterp up big time. And then there's the rest of the forwards... I think the Crusaders can do it but why the hell do they have Ward on the wing? [/QUOTE]
