[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 518180, member: 44360"] Fourie looked good at #8 last week which was a good sign considering Sinclair isn't available for the playoffs. There probably wasn't a team in Super Rugby that needed the extra week of rest more than the Stormers, and thank goodness Aplon is OK after that devastating knockout he suffered last week. If it comes down to goal kicking Grant is a match for Michalak, if there is a fly half that can unlock the Stormers defence it's the mercurial Michalak, although the opposite could happen depending on what Freddie shows up at game time. Like you said though Shags, momentum is with the Sharks and I think the teams are fairly evenly matched in many facets. Last time the two played the Sharks scrum was overpowering the Stormers who will have to up their game for sure in this facet, easier said than done against a solid front five that Natal have. Stormers should have a big crowd out at Newlands in their favour and after last years playoff disspointment I think they will be extra motivated. [/QUOTE]
