[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 380655, member: 39190"] Yes, the Stormers backs look more dangerous than last week on paper but its in the forwards that the Highlanders will look to beat us first and I am a bit worried there as we don't have a lot of depth and allready lost our 3 forwards with the most grunt. That and the team has just not gelled as a unit yet which is a little strange for me as all these players have played together for a while now. I think the Highlanders will be as competitive as they have been these previous games and won't change much at all. It all then depends on what Stormers team pitch up. Even though our defense hasn't been what it was last year and the year before so far we are still a better defensive team than the 3 the Highlanders have faced so far in 2011 so i hope we get up quick and put pressure on the Highlanders, maybe get some turn-over ball for Aplon to attack off of. My prediction.. if we improve from our last two outings we will be competitive. Can we win? Of course but it will take a much improved effort and I am guessing Walsh's style of reffing will suit the Highlanders more than us so that doesn't help the confidence.. [/QUOTE]
