[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 853334, member: 40658"] Well, let's look at your crystal ball first. The Brumbies, Stormers, Lions and the Crusaders are automatically part of the QF's. They are the top teams of the conference, and go through because of that. Then it's the Sharks, Hurricanes, Chiefs and Highlanders who take up the Wild Card spots. And with only 3 games left for each team, I think it's safe to say that this will be the top 8 with no other team having enough points to catch-up. As for the Stormers, yeah you have been marred with injuries at Fly Half especially, but then again, it seems to be a curse of the Stormers. This exact same thing happened a couple of years ago, and at one stage you had Dewaldt Duvenage as your fly half. Your biggest issue is that it seems like Fleck and co. has a few favourites which IMHO are below par yet still get picked. Why Coleman is still selected is beyond me, he's a worse fly half than what Earl Rose was. Why not pick Willemse??? He was the standout flyhalf last year at Craven Week, the Stormers fought hard to keep him in Cape Town as the Bulls was pursuing him, yet he keeps on playing for the WP in the SS challenge. Now he got selected for the Baby Boks, and I think he and Bosch will be great together. With that said, Willemse will be back in SA by the time the Stormers play their next match, and if none of the other fly halves are back from injury, I would pick Willemse, he's had a debut for the Stormers already, so why not give him a chance...
