    Sharks at Rebels
    The Rebels haven’t got the team to beat the Sharks, under a Kiwi referee the Sharks will be penalised often in the scrum, if Albert is injured result will be close
    Sharks by a 10

    Highlanders at Stormers
    Getting rid of the ‘Double J’ plague will lift the Stormers game, but ‘what if’ Deon Fourie is injured? under Steve Walsh it will be a fair contest
    Stormers by a 7

    Lions at the Cheetahs
    The Cheetahs cannot expect to get anywhere this season with Johnson and Floor in their match 22, not against the Lions’ impressive loose trio anyway
    but a Kiwi referee and Maku will help the Cheetah to keep the score close
    Lions by 5

    I saw a team sheet eearlier that had Frans Viljoen playing at 6 & Phillip Burger on the bench?

    Also the assistant referee for the lions v cheetahs is Glen Jackson? is this former saracens fly half last year??

    @Hondo(Hondo)-4: Sharks will win that game by about 40 points. Force are a far better team than the Rebels, even with 14 men.

    I think that the Sharks have realised that John can’t play number 2 with Biz in the same team. Biz should be captain of the Sharks and Boks.

    @Hondo(Hondo)-4: Rugby is not as simplistic as that. Lions loosies have been immense, but the Cheetah’s are not to be sneezed at!!

    Coenie Oosthuisen vs Pat Cilliers
    Rayno Barnes vs Maku
    WP Nel vs JC van Rensburg
    Martin Muller vs Wikus van Heerden
    Wilhelm Steenkamp vs Franco vd Merwe
    Heinrish Brussow vs Derek Minnie
    Phillip vd Walt vs Josh Strauss
    Frans Viljoen vs Warren Whitely

    Sarel Pretorius vs Kockett
    Sias Ebersohn vs Elton Jantjies
    Rayno Benjamin vs Lionel Mapoe
    Andries Strauss vs Doppies le Grange
    Robert Ebersohn vs Waylon Murray
    Phillip Snyman vs Michael Killian
    Riaan Viljoen vs Jaco Taute

    Skipper Badenhorst vs Martin Bezuidenhout
    Kobus Caldo vs Kevin Buys
    Karamba Floors vs Cobus Grobbelaar
    Francois Uys vs Dries van Schalkwyk
    Tewis de Bruyn vs Jano Vermaak
    Naas Olivier vs Burton Francis

    Only a brave man would wager on this one.

    Cheetahs should boss the scrums and lineouts, but I think the Lions loosies will be able to match the Cheetahs.

    Both backlines are able to score tries, but so far the Cheetahs defense has been immense. Home ground advantage will help the Cheetahs.

    A musch heavier pack than was the case against the Bulls, and the Cheetahs held their own, They will look to dominate a bit. Scrum should weigh in at close to 900 kg’s. Locks have so far bossed the Sharks and Bulls in the lineouts. Hopefully the refs can get a consistent touch blah blah sequence

    Go Cheetahs!!

    @Hondo(Hondo)-4: Dude, wtf is your problem anyway?

    “The Cheetahs cannot expect to get anywhere this season with Johnson and Floor in their match 22″

    Ashley J has been playing some of his best rugby in the last few weeks.
    Expect him to have a Stormers.
    And Maku not that bad, been playing decently!

    Try see the players! Not their skin colours!!!

    Warren Whiteley has been great so far i hope he keeps it up. This Lions team is certainly looking more settled now …. now they must win

    @Hondo(Hondo)-4: Kabamba and Johnson have been outstanding so far – why the doubt ?

    @WP_(WP_)-15: I think he reports to a black guy at work. And I think he has been exposed as a ducker and diver, so the resentment runs deep.

    I agree that Cheetahs should take this one and that their pack should be ahead of the Lions pack especially with Brussow in the mix, its just a pity Smith isn’t around.
    You say the Cheetahs held their own against the Bulls, I’d agree until Flip and Russouw were brought on then the Cheetahs were hammered bad, one very poor scrum even resulting in a try being conceded (where Johnson flicked the ball back).

    Sharks have won 14 in a row at home, and the spoke of Fortress Loftus!

    @foreverrugga(foreverrugga)-20: Agree with you on that, the Bulls bench clinched it, but by then we had already lost Juan after a few minutes, and Frans Viljoen before half time. That scrum was after Wilhelm was a bit harshly yellow carded, and the Cheetahs were down to 7 in the scrum…

    I think it would have been real interesting, had Juan/Viljoen not been injured so early!!

    @Cheetah 4 Eva(Cheetah 4 Eva)-22: One can never say for absolute certain but if Smith had been there I rek Cheetahs could have taken the win. I recall as soon as Smith joined the Cheetahs in last years S14 that he turned their fortunes around and they started doing well. He makes a big positive impact. I’m keen to see what Brussow can do come Saturday.

    why are the lions taking so long to announce they are dropping jantjies.
