[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 385561, member: 39190"] I'm confident as well albeit a little more quietly. We have struggled against them recently because of getting bullied up front. I can't see it happen this time round, not after the Bulls game; Elstadt adds a lot in that department for us and they are without Deysel. Kanko is a dud for them IMO and if Smit starts ahead of Beast that also counts in our advantage. Lambie out is big as he scored all the points against us in the CC final and just adds that something extra to the Sharks (difference between this years S15 and last years' bad start to the season). With Potgieter also out and Bosman going to 10 that messes with their midfield where I am sure we will be looking to target. Another player that was huge for them in the final is Andries Strauss who is now at the Cheetahs; he was hugely abbrassive in the final and disrupted us. Terblanche and Jacobs can both be a thorn but I wouldn't call either imposing in any way. So, ja, if our forwards can match it with the Sharks, which I am sure we will, and if we can continue with the attacking enterprise we showed against the Force I see a Stormers victory even with the game being played at Kings Park.
