[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 98384"] From what I can gather from the pre-season warm-ups, and the current form of players, the Stormers line-up could look something like this: 15- Gio Aplon 14- Breyton Paulse 13- Corne Uys 12- Jean De Villiers 11- Conrad Jantjies 10- Naas Olivier 9- Bolla Conradie 8- Joe Van Niekerk 7- Luke Watson 6- Schalk Burger 5- Ross Skeate 4- Andries Bekker 3- Eddie Andrews 2- Schalk Brits 1- Neil Fullard Some talent in the tight 5, but very short on experience at this level, and the Cheetahs will probably target them there, especially in the line-outs. The Cheetahs will probably fielda backline looking something like this: :wall: 15- Bevan Fortuin 14- Rayno Benjamin 13- Marius Joubert 12- Meyer Bosman/ Hendrik Meyer 11- Phillip Burger 10- Willem De Waal/ Herkie Kruger 9- Falie Oelschig, as Michael Claassens appears to be injured Add to that a potent front row and a backrow featuring plenty of pace (Kabamba floors and ryno vd Merwe), and also an excellent line-out forward in Barend Pieterse (although he might miss this one through injury) and you get a side that should have it over my beloved Stormers. Also, the Cheetahs have been our bogey side for the last 2 years, beating us in the semi`s of the Currie Cup in 224 and 2005, and messing up our CC league run in 2006. They also have home ground advantage and should pull this one through by less than 7. Hoping that I`m wrong, but believing that I`m right. [/QUOTE]
