    ag jou Pap Snoek. We’ve got the players to match them man for man. When you got the best wing in the world,the best no.6, best no.13 and best lock and in bekker and Wicuus then why stress. I know it wont be a walkover but i believe we should have enough fire power for them at Newlands.

    This result could be interesting for SuperBru.. Because the Cheetahs should not be underestimated.

    6 – Winston, it should be a good game just not so sure how Ceetahs will play without Brussow.

    Then again saffa sides always raise their game against each other.

    sorry meant Cheetahs.

    If the Stormers aren’t switched on they can easily loose this one. Will they lose it ? Probably not. Can they lose it ? Most definitely. Just ask the Canes and the Sharks.
