Lets see the Stormers continue their winning ways, although first game up on tour against in form Highlanders not going to be easy, enjoy the game all, also hoping for good win for the Bulls later on and of course remember Edinburgh play Toulouse in Heinecken Cup quarter final at Murrayfield in the first ever knockout game in this competition at home by Scottish team in front of what will be a record crowd for a club game in Scotland.
@ Bullscot:Looking forward to the quarter final, are you going to be there?
Gooooooo Stormers

Top of the morning Loskoppie, Bosotter, Webmonsters, and fellow bloggers,
Indeed some exciting matches ahead! With 7 teams above the Cheetahs already boosted with 4 bye points, the Cheetahs can surge up the log with a bonus point win! Go CHEEEEETAS!
Stormers 1st game on tour, and it’s going to bea cracker. ‘Landers have a nice balance to their team.
Crusaders’ strongest team sofar, and the game at Moftus isgoing to be a cracker too! Maybe the Bulls should wear pink again, it certainly brought the “handbags” out vs the Breezers!
Go Stormers! Go Cheeeeeeetahs! Go Bulls!
