The boys will be hurting. We need to get back on track and hopefully the Lions do us a favor.

Cheetahs should take this one.

 

[WaterboySA]

Stormers by at least 15.

I said at the start people are going to confuse the Cheetahs and Jaguares and there you have it in the OP.

We really should take this but we should've really took the Sunwolves as well and the Cheetahs have upset us in the past when we were arguably a more consistent team so I wouldn't put a Cheetahs win aside but at home, we really ought to be 8 point favorites.

The Cheetahs only surprise us away from home and the home fixture has traditionally been a high margin victory. But really though, the team will be hurting and really I don't believe are in any position at the moment to underestimate their opponent. The Cheetahs have also been having poor performances recently. I think it will be Stormers by 12.

Maybe my perception is too heavily influenced by the fact that the last time I watched this fixture at Newlands the Cheethas won. Not all that long ago (I think) but I can't remember if it was SR or the CC. It wasn't a lekker game and I remember Philip Snyman in particular we just couldn't seem to contain. I think it might be CC though.

I just looked it up. Last Stormers loss at home to the Cheetahs was 2006 and the last home loss for Western Province was 2011. Time flies.

Looked the score up and that's the one! Cheers for that, it does make me a little bit more confident. If you'd have put a gun to my head I'd have said it was 2013, maybe 2012. Can't believe its 5 years ago already!!

This year so far I've had luck and saw the Brumbies and Sunwolves games live. No stress games live are a welcome change- my track record prior to that is pretty dire.

I have the opposite luck to you this year. I have only been in Cape Town for one match this year and it was the Waratahs game. Are you going to this one to ensure the win?

 

[Bull]

Stormers will win, the cheetahs are trash

That was a rough one LOL. I wish I could go. I have a birthday celebration to attend though. Notice I said 'celebration' and not 'party'...
