[QUOTE="The TRUTH, post: 105017"] 1 John Ulugia 2 Jeremy Paul 3 Guy Shepherdson 4 Adam Wallace-Harrison 5 Mark Chisholm 6 Julian Salvi 7 George Smith 8 Stephen Hoiles 9 George Gregan 10 Julian Huxley 11 Mark Gerrard 12 Gene Fairbanks 13 Stirling Mortlock © 14 Clyde Rathbone 15 Adam Ashley-Cooper 16 Saia Faingaa 17 Nic Henderson 18 Peter Kimlin 19 Jone Tawake 20 Patrick Phibbs [b]21 Anthony Faingaa [/b] [b]22 Francis Fainifo [/b] A couple of future Superstars highlighted there, keep an eye on them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The more i think about this game, the more confident i feel that the Brumbies will have this Stormers team covered in most areas.... I mean, i just cant see De Dipshit Barry and JDV having any impact against the best defensive midfield combo in world rugby( thats right i said it ,the Fairbanks and Mortlock combo is impenetrable!)... and the Stormer speed merchants will have a very tough time getting around the likes of Rattlebones and Gerrard out wide. The problem with the Brumbies attack this year has been their number of handling errors ([b]they lead the league in this area[/b]).I'm sure Fish has got the boys focusing on the basics this week in order to rectify this problem. I see the Stormers best chance of winning is to try and adopt a similar gameplan to that of the Bulls/Lions - Basically, do F-all and wait for the dodgy NZ ref to blow his whistle.... then take the shot at goal from anywhere within 60m. But,to the Stomers credit they seem very willing to throw it around this year ,so *fingers crossed*, we shouldn't see any of that Bull-esque shizenhouse rugby in Canberra tomorrow.(yes im still bitter about last week) Both back-rows have looked very good this year, as mentioned earlier, Watson has been a standout last few weeks and the battle between Smith & Burger should be worth the price of admission alone. Brumbies scrum surprised everyone last week when they pushed the Bulls around on quite a few occasions. The way the Stormers front row has gone so far this year, they could be in for a tough night*.....( *Although it must be said that the only player remaining from the Brumbies FR that started last week, is JP ;) ) Chisolm has been impressive this year, but without Campbell he'll have his work cut out trying to stop the man mountain that is Andries Bekker!(seriously,what a revelation this bloke has been, must be a shoe in for a Bok jersey this year). The Bulls had to string together an enormous amount of tackles to hold off a sloppy Brumbies last week (211 to be exact :o ), are the Stormers capable of the same?... i don't think so...... Brumbies by 15-20 I'd also like to state that if i see De Wet Barry even attempt to go high on Stirlo once during this match, i will personally fly to the middle east to have a giant Fatwa placed on his ulgly ass. :rahh: [/QUOTE]
