[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 567940, member: 24910"] Like a few of the other games this weekend I'm picking this to be very tight. I feel the Blues should attempt to target he Stormers lineout, as they certainly have the personal to do it (Williams, Retallick, and Luatua are all excellent jumpers), and disrupting the Stormers lineout is one of the keys to beating the Stormers in my opinion. Both teams have plenty of firepower out wide - unfortunately the Stormers don't really like to use theirs! Getting through the rock-tight Stormers defense is certainly going to be a challenge for the Blues, but I feel they [I]could[/I] do this as the likes of Ranger, Piuatu and Halai can strike from anywhere with their pace and power. Overall I'm picking the Blues by 5, based almost solely on their home-ground advantage. [/QUOTE]
