[QUOTE="0tago, post: 789663, member: 73892"] The Brumbies have scored 15 tries this year in 3 games, which came against 2 of last years top 4 teams and the Stormers have scored just 6 and that's with two home fixtures. The Stormers have the 2nd best defensive record in the competition, 1 point behind leaders The Sharks with conceding just 37 points, how ever the Brumbies are in 3rd just behind the Stormers on 39 points. Personally I think he Brumbies have played tougher opposition as well, scoring double the points and conceding nearly the same amount. The Stormers do have the best lock combination in the tournament, and Schickerling provides depth off the bench. But the Brumbies line out has been very good this season as well and I think Sam Carter is a very underrated lock and Stanisforth is a really up and coming player who can have a strong impact off the bench or even gain a start over Arnold given his performance vs the Force and the Brumbies have superior hookers with Moore and Man-Rea showing incredible form this season. I don't think either team will dominate the other in the set pieces unless someone has a shocker. Not saying the game is set and done, but everything is piling up against the Stormers in this one, that makes it very difficult to see a window of opportunity for them. [/QUOTE]
