[QUOTE="Boggle, post: 98339"] I think the stormers [i]will[/i] play better this year. and this is why. (via the supersport website) "That is why I don’t worry about the Stormers tight forwards. In the Super 14 it has never been about forward domination. The Bulls are the only team in the competition who really follow that approach. In the northern hemisphere the scrum and lineout is a crucial weapon of attack, but in the Super 14 the tight phases have tended to be a means of restarting the game" "Last year the Stormers got sucked into playing a more forward orientated game, and except in matches against the other South African teams, the pack did show great improvement. But this season the Stormers are returning to their roots by playing a more expansive attacking game" we've allways had the pace and the loosies so let's run sircles around everyone this year :rahh: Not sure how much better they are going to play but hopefully semi finals. As for the game, I think it'll be such a tight game in any case, but I have to go with the stormers taking it (*if not by much*). [/QUOTE]
