[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1103391, member: 39190"] I wish I were as confident as you in the [B]Stormers[/B]. Jantjies and Willemse are returning to SA so that's now 6 Bok players we are missing and the Os are looking top of the Welsh sides. I'd call it a 50/50 but we've had a magnificent unbeaten run and that knowing how to pull a game out of the fire is a thing that becomes a habit. I'll listen to my heart and back us[B]. Leinster [/B]for me as well even if its an away derby which adds that little bit of uncertainty. Saturday is a bloodbath though, yeah. Start of the season I'd have said Ulster to trounce the Lions but the Lions are looking like dark horses and at home they might fancy themselves for what I'd still consider a big upset so my call is still [B]Ulster[/B] but... Then I'm going with [B]Sharks [/B]and [B]Edinburgh[/B] for home Ws despite what recent results say. I think the Sharks will get a lot of impact from their returning Bokke and should be too much for Glasgow at home despite my reservations on them for anything more than a QF appearance. Edinburgh will be hurting from a series of close losses and I can see them bounce back despite Benetton's form. Then I'm picking the [B]Bulls[/B] over Munster. Think both sides will be getting the intensity up there. But to me eye Munster look a little lost ITO identity whereas I think for the Bulls its more a case of a bad day at the office in the Glasgow loss and it shouldn't take much to get back on top. These last three games will be huge ITO who misses out on a QF IMO. Lastly I'm picking [B]Cardiff[/B] and [B]Zebre[/B]. Cardiff will need to build on their momentum if they are going to push for a QF in what is a log jam for positions 5 through 10. I don't think Scarlets- Zebre will have any bearing on the ***le at all but it should still be a competitive match and there is pride at stake in that the loser will be that much closer to getting the wooden spoon end of season.
