[TRF_stormer2010]

A critical game this between Natal and WP; will probably go a long way to deciding who goes through to the play-offs (assuming both don't pip the Cheetahs and Pumas of course). Natal seemingly slightly on the up and at home and WP slightly on the down (and with both of this year's captains out).. man, the heart really wants to say WPto pip it but my head keeps stopping him..

There'll be pressure on both as the Pumas and Cheetahs are likely to get a minimum of 4 log points each (and probably the full set of 5).

Game of the weekend has to go to the Bulls vs Lions match. Both undefeated and looking in fine form. Of the two the Lions would probably have to be favorites seeing as the Cheetahs had the Bulls under pressure but then there is the home advantage... i can't split them. Should be a cracker of note on the hard highveld pitch of Loftus!!

Man, the team announcements are taking so long this week!

just the Sharks and the Cheetahs have so far named their teams. Guess the others will leave it for lunch time today...

The Top-of-the-log-Jukskei-Derby-Clash is going to be a massive game!!

The Sharks will play in a commemorative jersey against WP.
