[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 101331"] Definately the game of the week-end- NOT! The 2 early pace-setters for the wooden spoon come up against each other- and going on current form, it could just end up 0-3 to the Chiefs. Note: if Lavea was fit and available, I`d have gone for 0-0! Not too much to get excited about, but at least the Stormers have made 1 or 2 positive changes- notably at 2 and 3, with not-so-steady Eddie and Schalk outside-centre Brits not able to butcher the scrums and 50% of the line-out throws, at least not in the 1st half anyway. On a positive note for the Stormers, Robbie Diack starting at 8, a youngster I really rate, also Peter Grant is a much better option than Olivier at 10, much more vision on the field, but would still like Russell at 10. Big Francois vd Merwe is at least in the match-22, although he should have started, and Conrad Jantjies is in his preferred position, although I would`ve given Aplon a go on the wing. Dylan Des Fountain is a big and powerful oke, ex-Paarl Gym boy, very skillful, but actually a 13 more than a wing. Also look out for JP Joubert, ex-Framesby High boykie, hoping he`ll keep up the good name of my alma mater! In the end, I reckon that the Chiefs will have the edge in this one, although the Stormers should give a much better performance than last week- but then again, anything is better than the dross served up by the Stormers in rounds 1 and 2.
