Super Rugby preview – Round 18
13 Jul 2012
JON CARDINELLI and RYAN VREDE analyse the key match-ups and pick the winners at the weekend.
JC and Vrede called all of last week’s results correctly, and there’s a strong feeling at keo.co.za HQ that another full house is on the cards.
Both writers are expecting the Bulls, Sharks and Stormers to pick up wins and qualify for the play-offs. JC reckons the Chiefs should win the league by hammering the Hurricanes on Friday, a result that won’t please the Stormers, but won’t stop the Cape side from advancing. Vrede thinks the Chiefs will win in Wellington, but without a bonus point, and that will allow the Stormers to seize an opportunity against the Rebels and top the league.
The Sharks and Bulls will be under pressure to bank bonus-point wins in their respective matches after the Reds whip the Waratahs in Brisbane. The play-offs will only start next week, but this round could almost be likened to the Fifa World Cup’s Round of 16. It’s do or die, and we’re expecting the Bulls and Sharks to do the necessary and join the Stormers in the play-offs.
KEO.CO.ZA SUCCESS RATE
VREDE: 80/112 (71%)
JC: 82/112 (73%)
HURRICANES vs CHIEFS, WELLINGTON, FRIDAY 09:35
VREDE’S CALL: The Hurricanes need to win to keep hope of participation in the play-offs alive. The Chiefs need to hold the Stormers at bay and book an easier route to a final. The match clearly doesn’t lack for incentive for either side, but the Chiefs’ all-round superiority will reflect in the result. Their success has been built on their pack’s potency. The heavies were outplayed against the Crusaders again last week, but the Canes don’t have the calibre of forwards to test the Chiefs (in general play or at scrum time) in the manner they were tested in Hamilton. This will lend the Chiefs attacking impetus, with their back division allowed space and time to plot the Canes’ demise. Defensively I suspect the Chiefs’ dominance of the gainline will ultimately force the Canes into expansive, cavalier attacks that will be terminal to their cause and season. Chiefs by 10
JC’S CALL: The Hurricanes are a competitive side, but for every steal and game breaking play there is an instance of indiscipline or sloppy defence. The Hurricanes’ desperation to score a bonus-point win should play into the Chiefs’ hands. The Chiefs boast the second-best defensive record in the competition and are especially dangerous from turnover ball. Expect them to play a more structured, territorial game and feed off the Hurricanes’ mistakes. Unfortunately for the Stormers, I feel the Chiefs will secure the five points from this fixture and win the league. The Hurricanes may score some tries, but they won’t do enough to win or get a consolation bonus point. Chiefs by 9
Hurricanes – 15 Andre Taylor, 15 Cory Jane/Alapati Leiua, 13 Conrad Smith (c), 12 Tim Bateman, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Beauden Barrett, 9 Chris Eaton/Frae Wilson, 8 Victor Vito, 7 Jack Lam, 6 Faifili Levave, 5 Jason Eaton, 4 Jeremy Thrush, 3 Ben May, 2 Dane Coles, 1 Reggie Goodes.
Subs: 16 Motu Matu’u, 17 Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, 18 James Broadhurst, 19 Brad Shields, 20 Wilson/Jamie Nutbrown, 21 Tusi Pisi, 22 Jayden Hayward
Chiefs – 15 Andrew Horrel, 14 Lelia Masaga, 13 Jackson Willison, 12 Sonny Bill Williams, 11 Robbie Robinson, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 8 Kane Thompson, 7 Tanerau Latimer, 6 Liam Messam, 5 Brodie Retallick, 4 Craig Clarke (c), 3 Ben Tameifuna, 2 Hika Elliot, 1 Toby Smith.
Subs: 16 Mahonri Schwalger, 17 Sona Taumalolo, 18 Michael Fitzgerald, 19 Sam Cane, 20 Brendon Leonard, 21 Asaeli Tikoirotuma, 22 Tim Nanai-Williams.
BRUMBIES vs BLUES, CANBERRA, SATURDAY 07:35
VREDE’S CALL: The Brumbies only need a point to capture the Australian conference but will be eyeing the bonus point and the Stormers in second, hoping the Cape franchise somehow blow it against the Rebels. Their structured, accurate and powerful forward play will be the root of their success against a Blues side that’s already mentally on holiday. Their multi-phase approach has depleted much better defensive units than the Blues, and they will again lay the platform for their talented backs to exploit the Blues’ numerous defensive vulnerabilities. Brumbies by 10
JC’S CALL: There isn’t much incentive for the Brumbies to alter their approach and push for a four-try bonus point. The Stormers are likely to beat a weakened and rudderless Rebels side in Cape Town, and so what the Brumbies rather need to focus on is a win that will keep the Reds at arm’s length. They have the forwards and the general at No 9 to ensure their game plan is successfully implemented, and will want to keep the game tight to prevent some of the dangerous Blues individuals from getting into the contest. Expect another ugly but effective performance by Jake White’s men. Brumbies by 11
Brumbies – 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Andrew Smith, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Zack Holmes, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen (c), 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Dan Palmer, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ben Alexander.
Subs: 16 Anthony Hegarty, 17 Ruaidhri Murphy, 18 Leon Power, 19 Fotu Auelua, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Tevita Kuridrani, 22 Robbie Coleman.
Blues – 15 Charles Piutau, 14 Lachie Munro, 13 Francis Saili, 12 Ma’a Nonu, 11 Hadleigh Parkes, 10 Michael Hobbs, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Luke Braid, 7 Daniel Braid, 6 Chris Lowrey, 5 Steven Luatua, 4 Liaki Moli, 3 Charlie Faumuina, 2 Keven Mealamu (c), 1 Tony Woodcock.
Subs: 16 Tom McCartney, 17 Tevita Mailau, 18 Andrew Van der Heijden, 19 Peter Saili, 20 Alby Mathewson, 21 Orene Ai’i, 22 Sherwin Stowers.
CRUSADERS vs WESTERN FORCE, CHRISTCHURCH, SATURDAY 09:35
VREDE’S CALL: The Crusaders showed their class in defeating the Chiefs last week in a match they had to win to control their own play-off destiny. They cannot win the New Zealand conference but can still finish fourth, which would secure them a home tie, probably against the Bulls – a match they would be favourites to win. They are one of the few teams in the tournament you would back to win a semi-final on the road. In light of this, the benefits of finishing fourth are self-evident. They’ll beat the Force comfortably, building that result on an intelligent kicking game in their half and a blend of grunt and industry through their forwards and panache in the backline. Crusaders by 15
JC’S CALL: The Force are without David Pocock and this will limit their success at the breakdown. An injury to Kieran Read has forced the Crusaders to pick Richie McCaw and Matt Todd in the back row, and while this could impact on their gainline ambitions it will ensure that they are well equipped to win the game on the ground. It isn’t the most intimidating starting pack, with the unimpressive Tom Donnelly named in the second row, but the Crusaders do have some class on the bench to ensure they finish strongly. The performances of their halfbacks as well as that of Israel Dagg will be important as far as their kicking game is concerned, and in this regard the Force will struggle to compete. Crusaders by 10
Crusaders – 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Sean Maitland, 13 Adam Whitelock, 12 Ryan Crotty, 11 Zac Guildford, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Andy Ellis, 8 Richie McCaw (c), 7 Matt Todd, 6 George Whitelock, 5 Tom Donnelly, 4 Luke Romano, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Corey Flynn, 1 Ben Franks.
Subs: 16 Quentin MacDonald, 17 Wyatt Crockett, 18 Samuel Whitelock, 19 Luke Whitelock, 20 Willi Heinz, 21 Tom Taylor, 22 Robbie Fruean.
Force – 15 Alfie Mafi, 14 Nick Cummins, 13 Patrick Dellit, 12 Rory Sidey, 11 Napolioni Nalaga, 10 Ben Seymour, 9 Brett Sheehan, 8 Lachlan McCaffrey, 7 Angus Cottrell, 6 Richard Brown, 5 Nathan Sharpe (c), 4 Toby Lynn, 3 Salesi Manu, 2 Nathan Charles, 1 Tetera Faulkner.
Subs: 16 Ben Whittaker, 17 Ruan Smith, 18 Pek Cowan, 19 Ollie Atkins, 20 Josh Holmes, 21 Kyle Godwin, 22 Will Tupou.
REDS vs WARATAHS, BRISBANE, SATURDAY 11:40
VREDE’S CALL: The defending champions have no alternative but to bank a bonus point win and hope that one of the minnows does them a favour at some stage in the day. They should achieve the former, with Will Genia and Quade Cooper controlling territory with their boots, and forcing the Tahs into risky 22m exits. From there they’ll back their defence to pressure the Tahs into errors and launch strikes from broken field or keep the board ticking over via Mike Harris’ boot. The Tahs have gifted backs, but their forwards’ inability to impose themselves will mean they won’t have the platform to exhibit their skills fully. Reds by 10
JC’S CALL: Not that Wycliff Palu has been particularly good this season, but his injury has forced a few telling changes to the Waratahs pack. There’s not much balance or continuity in that side, not much confidence and quite frankly not enough of a reason to win. The Reds have hit form late in the season and will have Digby Ioane and Liam Gill available for this match. Traditionally, this is tight fixture but I expect the Reds forwards will be too powerful and clinical at the tackle point and the backs will use that platform to win territory and score tries. This result will certainly spice up the later fixtures as the Sharks and perhaps the Bulls will need a bonus-point win to deny the Reds a play-off place. Reds by 13
Reds – 15 Luke Morahan, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Anthony Faingaa, 12 Mike Harris, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia (c), 8 Scott Higginbotham, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Jake Schatz, 5 Adam Wallace-Harrison, 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 Saia Faingaa, 1 Greg Holmes.
Subs: 16 James Hanson, 17 Ben Daley, 18 Radike Samo, 19 Beau Robinson, 20 Jarrad Butler, 21 Ben Lucas, 22 Ben Tapuai.
Waratahs – 15 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 14 Lachie Turner, 13 Rob Horne, 12 Berrick Barnes, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Grayson Hart, 8 Dave Dennis, 7 Chris Alcock, 6 Dean Mumm, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Paddy Ryan, 2 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 1 Benn Robinson (c).
Subs: 16 John Ulugia, 17 Jeremy Tilse, 18 Lopeti Timani, 19 Jono Jenkins, 20 Brendan McKibbin, 21 Tom Carter, 22 Tom Kingston.
STORMERS vs REBELS, CAPE TOWN, SATURDAY 15:00
VREDE’S CALL: By kick-off the Stormers will know exactly what they require to top the log. They will be cheering for the Canes earlier in the day, hoping they beat the Chiefs or restrict them to four points in defeat. The latter scenario is more likely and if ever the Stormers had a better motivator to escape their attacking mediocrity this will be it. The Rebels don’t have the game breakers of tactical intelligence to trouble them on attack. They’ll be blunted at the gainline and systematically forced deeper and deeper into their territory. The Stormers have built their victories on penalty-inducing pressure and Peter Grant’s goal kicking but they will have to find an attacking dimension that has been sorely lacking if they hope to take the full haul of points they so desperately need. The players are certainly there, but they have to deliver in this the most crucial of matches. It is the responsibility of the forwards to give them the best possible launchpad, and you have to think that against the powder-puff Rebels pack they will do so. Stormers by 15
JC’S CALL: The Rebels are not to be underestimated. Ask the Crusaders, who suffered an embarrassing defeat to the Melbourne franchise earlier in the season. I don’t think there’s any point talking about a bonus point, as the Chiefs should secure top spot following their match against the Hurricanes. The Stormers will stick to script, building the pressure and taking any points on offer in the first half. There is a chance that it will rain on Saturday, so it is probably not the best time to play expansively when the game is still in the balance. Once they have built a decent lead, they may cut loose in the second half when that notorious Rebels defence begins to tire. Stormers by 12
Stormers – 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Jean de Villiers (c), 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Peter Grant, 9 Dewaldt Duvenage, 8 Deon Fourie, 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 De Kock Steenkamp, 3 Frans Malherbe, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Subs: 16 Deon Carstens, 17 Brok Harris, 18 Quinn Roux, 19 Jebb Sinclair, 20 Louis Schrueder, 21 Burton Francis, 22 Gerhard van den Heever.
Rebels – 15 Julian Huxley, 14 Mark Gerrard, 13 Mitch Inman, 12 Stirling Mortlock (c), 11 Cooper Vuna/Lachlan Mitchell, 10 James Hilgendorf, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Gareth Delve, 7 Hugh Perret, 6 Tim Davidson, 5 Hugh Pyle, 4 Cadeyrn Neville, 3 Jono Owen, 2 Ged Robinson, 1 Rodney Blake.
Subs: 16 Luke Holmes, 17 Paul Alo-Emile, 18 Al Campbell, 19 Ryan Hodson, 20 Nic Stirzaker, 21 Cooper Vuna/Lachlan Mitchell, 22 Richard Kingi.
SHARKS vs CHEETAHS, DURBAN, SATURDAY 17:05
VREDE’S CALL: The Sharks’ victory over the Bulls last weekend was their best performance of the season, but the Sharks’ campaign has been marred by inconsistency. However, you sense they are peaking at the right time and they should be too strong for the Cheetahs. Expect Bismarck du Plessis, Ryan Kankowski, Beast Mtawarira, Keegan Daniel and later Willem Alberts, to be prominent with ball-in-hand, gradually wearing down the Cheetahs’ resistance. The backline, bolstered by Pat Lambie’s return and displaying an added dimension with Frans Steyn at inside centre, will be too good for one of the weakest defences in the tournament. Provided they don’t get too loose in their approach (thereby granting Heinrich Brussow and co chances at stealing or stifling the ball) the Sharks will get the bonus-point that will probably see them through to the play-offs. Sharks by 12
JC’S CALL: The Sharks need to replicate their performance of last week, simple as that. They will, in all likelihood, go into this match needing five log points, but they mustn’t let this lead to a more frantic approach. The back row was outstanding last week, and will need to win the battle at the gainline once again. It will be a big game for Craig Burden as he fills in for the irrepressible Bismarck du Plessis, but he also has the potential to be dominant in contact and boasts a unique turn of speed. The Sharks need a strong first half, and they need to be clinical in taking points on offer and building a big lead. In the second stanza when the Cheetahs are less direct and more expansive, there will be more opportunities to score from turnover ball. Sharks by 14
Sharks - 15. Patrick Lambie, 14. JP Pietersen, 13. Tim Whitehead, 12. Francois Steyn, 11. Lwazi Mvovo, 10. Frederic Michalak, 9. Charl McLeod, 8. Ryan Kankowski, 7. Marcell Coetzee, 6. Keegan Daniel (c), 5. Anton Bresler, 4. Jandre Marais, 3. Jannie du Plessis, 2. Craig Burden, 1. Tendai Mtawarira.
Subs: 16. Bismarck du Plessis, 17. Wiehahn Herbst, 18. Pieter-Steph du Toit / Jean Deysel, 19. Willem Alberts, 20. Jacques Botes, 21. Meyer Bosman / Paul Jordaan, 22. Louis Ludik
Cheetahs - 15 Willie le Roux, 14 Nico Scheepers, 13 Robert Ebersohn, 12 Barry Geel, 11 Philip Snyman, 10 Riaan Smit, 9 Piet van Zyl, 8 Boom Prinsloo, 7 Lappies Labuschagne, 6 Heinrich Brussow, 5 Izak van der Westhuizen, 4 Andries Ferreira, 3 WP Nel, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Trevor Nyakane.
Subs: 16 Hercu Liebenberg, 17 Marcel van der Merwe, 18 Waltie Vermeulen, 19 Ashley Johnson, 20 Jacques Coetzee, 21 Sias Ebersohn, 22 Andries Strauss.
BULLS vs LIONS, PRETORIA, SATURDAY 19:10
VREDE’S CALL: There has been so much talk of this Gauteng derby being close. On what basis? The Lions are by some distance the weakest team in the South African conference and one of the weakest in the tournament. If the Bulls lose this one it must be considered their worst result in recent years. They won’t. The Lions don’t have the personnel or appetite for a forward brawl and will look to attack in the wide channels at most opportunities. This will play into the Bulls’ hands. The Pretoria franchise have been as adept at crafting their own scoring chances as they have been at capitalising on their opponents’ errors and their victory in this fixture will hopefully see the third South African franchise enter the top six. Bulls by 15
JC’S CALL: Like the Sharks, the Bulls will need to produce a special performance to advance to the play-offs. And like the Sharks, they will be fortunate enough to play at home against one of the weaker defensive sides in the competition. The Lions so nearly blew it last week, and their inability to play for 80 minutes will cost them in this their final game (of the season? for the next couple of years?). The Bulls will need to lift their efforts at the breakdowns and collisions, as these were areas where they were clearly outplayed in last week’s battle with the Sharks. The Lions aren’t a good side, but the Bulls would be foolish to expect an easy ride. The Lions will try to spoil and force the Bulls to play as loose as possible. The Bulls must ensure they stick to their game plan and execute efficiently. It’s time for the forwards and the halfbacks to step up in this regard. Bulls by 12
Bulls - 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies (c), 7 Jacques Potgieter, 6 Dewald Potgieter, 5 Juandre Kruger, 4 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 12 Dean Greyling.
Subs: 16 Willie Wepener, 17 Frik Kirsten, 18 Deon Stegmann, 19 CJ Stander, 20 Jano Vermaak, 21 Louis Fouché, 22 Francois Venter.
Lions – 15 James Kamana, 14 Lionel Mapoe, 13 Waylon Murray, 12 Butch James, 11 Anthonie Volminck, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Michael Bondesio, 8 Joshua Strauss (c), 7 Grant Hattingh, 6 Derick Minnie, 5 Ruan Botha, 4 Hendrik Roodt, 3 Jacobie Adriaanse, 2 Callie Visagie, 1 JC Janse van Rensburg.

Al wat jy sien is die Blou Masjien

If the Bulls win and somehow manage to beat the Crusaders in the quarterfinal, and if the Sharks continue their upward curve and beat the Brumbies in Canberra as expected, then the Bulls could end up facing the Stormers in the semis at Newlands, and the Sharks in the final at Loftus.
That is my preferred outcome. I think a full Sharks team can most certainly knock over the Chiefs in Hamilton.
Under the above scenario the Bulls would only have to play 1 game overseas, before coming back to SA for the semi and final.
12 Jul 2012, 12:44 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-2: Ja, we wouldn’t want to go Crusaders in NZ, Stormers (away and flying back) and then Chiefs flying there again. But if we have to…
12 Jul 2012, 12:48 pm
@shooter(shooter)-3:
Our big game will be the Crusaders. If we manage to pull that one through by some miracle, the Stormers at Newlands really don’t bother me. They were lucky to beat us both times, and this time we won’t be at the end of a 4 week overseas tour. And we’ll be motivated like hell.
However, I don’t believe we can then fly back and stand a chance against the Chiefs in NZ. We must hope that the Sharks beat them and give us a final at Loftus. That will be an epic clash.
Honestly, of the 5 other teams in the play offs I would rather face the Stormers than any of the others barring the Brumbies perhaps. The Chiefs, Crusaders and Sharks are all playing much better rugby than the men from Cape Town.
And that would be the opinion of most neutral scribes without a doubt.
12 Jul 2012, 12:51 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-2: That is very rose-tinted, but I certainly hope it works out that way… For the Sharks to then beat the Bulls at Loftus would certainly go some way to healing the wound inflicted at Kings Park in ’07. Anyway – your prediction is very hopeful and mine even more so!
Go the Sharks (and the other SA teams if/until we face them).
12 Jul 2012, 12:52 pm
The ideal for the Sharks would be to end 5th, beat Brumbies, then Chiefs and stay in NZ for a Crusaders final.
This would mean the least amount of travelling and the easiest game first up.
But hey they first have to beat the Cheetah’s
12 Jul 2012, 12:53 pm
@pokkel(pokkel)-6:
I meant to say Sharks to end 6th not 5th.
12 Jul 2012, 12:54 pm
@pokkel(pokkel)-6:
That would mean that the Crusaders would have to go to Cape Town and fly back for the final.
12 Jul 2012, 12:54 pm
@NicG(NicG)-5:
The Sharks are currently the team with the best players in SA. Hence their dominance of the Bok run on team.
With the current players available to the Bulls, any game against the Sharks will be extremely tough. That was clearly demonstrated last week.
The Bulls beating the Crusaders in Christchurch though – that is an extremely tall order.
12 Jul 2012, 12:57 pm
The Cheetahs Bulls game first 40 minutes – that is what the Bulls are capable of.
the next 120 minutes after was just an aberration.
Stormer’s defensive gameplan could help them in tight games though.
..IF.. the Deon Fourie thing works out.
12 Jul 2012, 12:58 pm
Revenge will be sweet coming to the quarters , it is about time the Bulls get some of their own medicine in Christchurch – we will be lookin for total domination and a smooth game into the semis against the Cheifs

@pokkel(pokkel)-8: Flying back for the final in Christchurch … what a pleasure , much easier than last season anyhow
12 Jul 2012, 12:59 pm
@shooter(shooter)-10:
I don’t rate the Bulls first 40 against the Cheetahs, just like I don’t rate the Bulls performance against the Reds.
Against weak teams the Bulls get their front foot ball going, and then they run riot. But against strong teams with organised defense, this doesn’t work.
They need to rediscover their tight game dominance, like in the semis and finals of 2009 and 2010.
Games where you only get 2 or 3 chances, and use them all. Not games where there are 20 chances, and you use 10 of them, like against the Cheetahs and Reds.
The current Bulls aren’t there yet.
12 Jul 2012, 13:00 pm
@pokkel(pokkel)-7: i was about to correct you on that
12 Jul 2012, 13:01 pm
@stew(stew)-13: Also the revenue will be welcomed after last years disaster put the union in deep financial crisis.
12 Jul 2012, 13:02 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-4: Yes. The Sharks played as well as the Bulls played badly in the last game.
I can see that working out that way.
Now let’s just beat the Lions first. 8)
12 Jul 2012, 13:03 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-14: Has to come down to the quality of players as well …. you have lost plenty world superstars this season … i wouldnt be too dispondent with your teams performance this year
12 Jul 2012, 13:03 pm
@shooter(shooter)-17:
Lions aren’t my concern. The Crusaders are.
I suspect our season is going to end next weekend in Christchurch. But while we’re still in the running, there’s always hope.
12 Jul 2012, 13:04 pm
@stew(stew)-16:
Well we’re hoping for the same outcome then!
12 Jul 2012, 13:04 pm
Still think that this Hurricanes team should not be underestimated
12 Jul 2012, 13:05 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-19: Let’s wait for the results on the weekend, first.
You might even play the Brumbies in Canberra, which I think could be a likely outcome.
Or miss out on a playoff spot altogether.
12 Jul 2012, 13:05 pm
@pokkel(pokkel)-20: definately
12 Jul 2012, 13:06 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-14: i understand your point. Especially looking good against weaker teams. But we have to mix it up at least this year – given our vaste 6 is not what they were in the past couple of years.
12 Jul 2012, 13:07 pm
The ideal for Nz is Chiefs to finish second overall on the log, Crusaders to take out Bulls then play Stormers and beat them at Newlands . Then a Super Final in Hamilton.
12 Jul 2012, 13:08 pm
@willievz(willievz)-22: 100%
12 Jul 2012, 13:10 pm
The playoffs seem very unfair – as with last seasons final you cannot expect a team , even though they may be the best , to travel across the world for away games and still expect them to win the final …. travel and fatigue eventually show and it seems inevitable ……… Still think the final should be played in a neutral venue , this would show which team is the best in the S15
12 Jul 2012, 13:10 pm
@Tacitus – ever the optimist I see. Lol! The Stormers would prefer the bools as well but you cant beat the saders without a no 8.
12 Jul 2012, 13:10 pm
Good news for the Bulls, they won’t be playing against the Blues in the quarters…
12 Jul 2012, 13:12 pm
@Te Rangatira(Te Rangatira)-25: We have all completely forgotten about the Brumbies ….. Dont forget Jake White is good at playing playoff rugby as was shown in 2007
12 Jul 2012, 13:15 pm
@pokkel(pokkel)-6: is that scenario possible for the Bulls too?
12 Jul 2012, 13:15 pm
@Slappes(Slappes)-28: You cant beat us with 16 men so dont stress yourself out !
12 Jul 2012, 13:17 pm
@stew(stew)-21:
They are playing at home.
I reckon they could beat the Chiefs, if they minimise the amount of set pieces and spread the ball to wider channels more often.
They have a weaker pack, but arguably a more mobile one.
12 Jul 2012, 13:18 pm
@stew(stew)-30:
Probably Brumbies at Waikato….have to go Chiefs
12 Jul 2012, 13:20 pm
@willievz(willievz)-33: Going to be a high scoring game what ever happens – will check on the weather cond
12 Jul 2012, 13:21 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-4:
“Our big game will be the Crusaders. If we manage to pull that one through by some miracle, the Stormers at Newlands really don’t bother me. They were lucky to beat us both times, and this time we won’t be at the end of a 4 week overseas tour. And we’ll be motivated like hell.”
Wow, but I suppose Stormers will say the Bulls wont bother them if they play them at Newlands
12 Jul 2012, 13:22 pm
@willievz(willievz)-33: Going to be wet on the weekend – not good for the canes me thinks
12 Jul 2012, 13:23 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-4:
How about the circa 40 hour return flight + other forms of travel?
Are you worried about that?
12 Jul 2012, 13:30 pm
A win for the Hurricanes over the Chiefs will really add a bit of spice to a number of other games and will put huge pressure on the Sharks …
12 Jul 2012, 13:38 pm
For you Tacitus.
We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears.
We’d never know how high we are till we are called to rise; and then, if we are true to plan, our statures touch the sky.
Were it not for hope the heart would break
We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.

it is quite conceivable that;
stormers could top the overall log and be the only sa team in the play offs.
we can expect the reds to beat the tahs and it is not a given that sharks and bulls will win their games.
12 Jul 2012, 13:46 pm
Bulls will trip up against the Lions, rendering this whole discussion pretty futile.
12 Jul 2012, 13:48 pm
Hurricanes vs Chiefs: too close, Kaplan in control, for the pundits, Canes by 3 to 5
Brumbies-Blues: a Kiwi referee will shaft the Brumbies to help a respectable exit for Lam.
Blues by 7
Red Waratahs: insignificant, even less so with Steve Walsh, Reds by 12 plus
Stormers Rebels: Don’t know the referee, regardless, will be no doubt successful to facilitate the Stormers’ home field aspirations
Stormers by 10-13
Crusaders-Force: call in the SPCA
Sharks vs Cheetahs: Go figure whom SARU prefer for the Play offs, The Bulls or the Sharks?
Sharks by a small margin of 7 -10
Bulls vs Lions: Old firm of Joubert & Pro Legota @ Loftus, thought I’ve seen that movie once or twice before
Bulls by as much as they need for the playoffs

@Hondo(Hondo)-43: The evolution of your prejudice here on keo has been most amusing to witness. I’m sure you used to mistrust referees in the past in addition to being a full-blown white supremacist. And I’m sure you still don’t like blacks much these days, in addition to being a world-renowned referee conspiracy theorist. But the switch in balance between the two objects of your hatred is most intriguing.

I just found something that reminds me of the Heyneke’s appointment as Bok coach:
There’s an old sea story about a ship’s Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad…
The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally.
The first mate responded, “Aye, aye sir, I’ll see to it immediately!”
The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, “The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear.”
He continued, “Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with Witkowski, and Brown, you change with Smith.”
THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
Someone may come along and promise “Change”, but don’t count on things smelling any better.

@charo(charo)-41: If we had the old system of no conference and no wild cards (thus top 4 makes semis) SA would’ve had only one team in the semis.
12 Jul 2012, 13:56 pm
@stew(stew)-37: Few things to consider:
Right.
The wet weather might benefit the stronger pack – maybe not at scrum time as rain is usually a leveller in this regard, but in terms of the pack hunting as a unit they will almost certainly boss the collisions in the closer channels.
But Kiwis know how to play (read handle) in wet weather, and it will affect both teams.

Think the Crusaders and Sharks are the best two sides in the tournament tho…
12 Jul 2012, 14:19 pm
The dynamics of this extended S15 season are quite interesting.
No team can really maintain its form over the entire tournament. The team that came closest to this was the Chiefs, I guess.
But in general what we see is a combination of teams that stacked up the points early on, and are now barely hanging in there (like the Stormers) and teams that were poor in the early season but are now hitting awesome form (the Crusaders and Sharks).
On current form the Sharks and Crusaders are on a different planet compated to the Stormers, but the Stormers early wins have allowed them the advantage of an extra week off and a home play-off.
The question is: Will this be enough to ward off the assaults of clearly superior teams in the form of the Sharks and Crusaders?
Personally, I don’t think it will.

On present form I can see the Stormers being well beaten by any one of the Bulls, Sharks, Crusaders, Chiefs, Brumbies….and even Rebels.
The Stormers are hanging on by a very thin rope that’s fast shredding.

@stew(stew)-61:
Well I tend to agree with you about the unairness of this system then. If it ultimately proves impossible for a 5th or 6th placed team to ever win the competition, due to having to travel backwards and forwards between continents in three consecutive weeks, then they should rather scrap the 6 team play-offs and limit it to 4 semifinalists only.
12 Jul 2012, 14:29 pm

12 Jul 2012, 14:30 pm
As a Sharks supporter I’d far prefer to play the Brumbies than the Crusaders in a play-off match.
First things first though… let’s qualify then start talking about play-offs. Anything can happen still with the Bulls and Sharks being replaced by the Hurricanes and Reds. Unlikely but nothing is certain yet. Except for Chiefs and Stormers.
The Sharks or Bulls could still finish in 4th and host a play-off. If the Crusaders lose. There are so many different outcomes that could occur really.
12 Jul 2012, 14:31 pm
@Tacitus(Deucalion)-59: You think? I think that the Stormers have been more consistant than anyone.
We’ve won more, and by a similar margin each time.
12 Jul 2012, 14:32 pm
12 July 2012 (14:16) – The Sharks team named to play the Cheetahs at Mr Price KINGS PARK on Saturday was delayed to allow for late fitness tests on Pat Lambie, Willem Alberts and Jacques Botes, with all selected in the Match 22.
The team to take on the Cheetahs in this final pool match of the Vodacom Super Rugby tournament – before the Final Series – includes Lambie at fullback in place of Louis Ludik who plays off the bench, alongside the returning Alberts and Botes who have all been passed fit.
Pieter-Steph du Toit who left the field in the first half of last week’s match with an ankle injury has been bracketed in with Jean Deysel amongst the reserves, as have the backline duo of Meyer Bosman and Paul Jordaan. Jandre Marais will start at lock with Steven Sykes not declared fit yet and du Toit still not cleared. There are no other changes to the team that beat the Bulls last week.
The Cheetahs gave the South African Conference leading Stormers a proper run for their money last weekend and no doubt will prove competitive in this final match for them. With no way of finishing in the top six, this will be their last hurrah before the Absa Currie Cup and with a couple of players leaving for a taste of European rugby, they will want to finish on a high.
For The Sharks, come kick-off time, they will have a good idea of what is needed to secure a place in the qualifiers with the Reds and Hurricanes both within touch and with a last gasp chance to secure a valuable top six finish.
There is no doubt that this match will have an important bearing on the way the pool stages finish, with a nail-biting wait to see the outcome of the Bulls-Lions match in the final game of the weekend.
The Sharks:
1. Tendai Mtawarira
2. Craig Burden
3. Jannie du Plessis
4. Jandre Marais
5. Anton Bresler
6. Keegan Daniel ( C )
7. Marcell Coetzee
8. Ryan Kankowski
9. Charl McLeod
10. Frederic Michalak
11. Lwazi Mvovo
12. Francois Steyn
13. Tim Whitehead
14. JP Pietersen
15. Patrick Lambie
Replacements:
16. Bismarck du Plessis
17. Wiehahn Herbst
18. Pieter-Steph du Toit / Jean Deysel
19. Willem Alberts
20. Jacques Botes
21. Meyer Bosman / Paul Jordaan
22. Louis Ludik
12 Jul 2012, 14:32 pm
I’ve tried to list the 6 teams who I think will end up in the knockouts, and their competitive advantages:
Chiefs and Brumbies – best coaching staff
Stormers – best defense
Sharks – most depth
Crusaders & Bulls – most experience of knockout games
Gents, we are in for a treat of a finish
12 Jul 2012, 14:33 pm
@stormersboy(stormersboy)-70:
Consistently unimpressive, yes. Scraping through each game, whether against strong teams or against the Lions or Cheetahs.
At no stage have the Stormers looked as good as the Crusaders or Sharks look now. And they seem to be regressing each game, rather than improving.

For the Stormers supporters
In Wellington the Hurricanes have a much better record against the Chiefs as they have played them 9 times and won 6 – or 66 % of their matches against the men from Waikato.
However all six of those matches have been won in the last six clashes and the Chiefs have not beaten the Hurricanes in Wellington in 11 years as their last positive result was a 27-51 victory in May 2001.

Everyone can go on happily predicting the Stormers demise. Its been that case since the start of the season, if I had 10 bucks for everyone on here saying “Stormers will fall apart soon”, “wait until that game” etc etc I would be able to buy a losie at Newlands.
Us true province fans will just keep watching and enjoying the games, knowing that we have a good chance to finally win a Super title. Indeed we would prefer it if you keep making us into the underdogs, every time in recent history the Stormers was touted as favorites they lost composure and blew it, so please, keep writing them off.

Oh good news: Bissie not injured if on the bench…
12 Jul 2012, 15:23 pm
A correction or 2 for the predicters above
* 5 points for the Sharks and Bulls will guarantee the side getting 5 points a playoff place. So 5 points won”t probably see them through. It will definitely do so
* The Sharks or Bulls can lose out even if they get 4 points IF
- the Reds get 5 points (regardless of margin) (Reds will have more wins) and/or
- the Canes get 5 points AND trump the PD of the Sharks or Bulls. The Canes are 12 PD behind the Sharks and 29 PD behind the Bulls
The Sharks will know almost all the results but 1 when they play. The Bulls will know them all.
I cant see the Sharks or Bulls trying to game the result by aiming for 6th.
Get 5 points and get on the plane. (Unless the Saders lose)
Neither game is a gimme. The SHarks and Bulls could lose.
I am hoping that neiher the Reds nor the Canes get 5 points meaning that the Sharks and Bulls just need to focus on the win
12 Jul 2012, 15:23 pm
Here’s how I check if someone is a Sharks fan in SA:
I say to them: say ‘piano’
If they say ‘ pee-ha- no’ then its prolly a Bull or Lions fan
If they pronounce the ‘a’ soft then I know its a Rhodesian Sharks fan
‘Police’ is another one, if they say ” Poo-lease ‘ then but if they say ‘Pleece’ then …

Seriously. The Cheetahs have a defense like Swiss Cheese. Unless it’s a torrential downpour the Sharks shouldn’t have too much trouble getting 4 tries. Even if the Cheetahs score 3 tries in return.
It is only teams with zero attacking capability like the Stormers who struggle to score 4 tries against the Cheetahs.
The Bulls put 60 past them in Bloem, and scored 4 tries by halftime at Loftus.

Fact is the press are keeping the bulls in the run……but truthfully the bulls should be written off as also ran……..if the stormers were 1/5 all would write them off……..but not this mighty favorite bulls side….it was over for the stormers when we lost to the sharks with a b team, but all we heard was our bubble burst………..

When Jan van Riebeeck arrived in //Hui! Gaeb in 1652 he bought the following from Harry the Beachcomber:
10 kg biltong
10 kg droë wors
10 kg samoosas

That can happen IF

OR the

Reds may struggle to get 5 against the Tahs but I am pretty sure they will win

@Tacitus(Deucalion)-137: Whether you take anything I say seriously or not is of little importance to me – but I would STILL suggest you follow through with the “getting your head read’ thingy done.
Do it.
Soon you will be leaving your home without pepper gas. You will be smiling at people who don’t look like you. You will be buying Linkin Park’s latest album (brilliant).
Just do it.

I love how Tacticus makes as if the Stormers – at Newlands – will be an easier prospect than any other in the playoffs. Its actually the reverse – we’d love the Pinksters at Newlands. Your hate for anything WP/Stormers is obvious. Your mighty Bulls couldn’t beat the WP Vodacom Cup team at fortress Loftus.
Another interesting fact is the band of brothers eminating in the Bull Shark corner. These poor souls take turns complementing each other – while totally ridiculing the Stormers. The log indicates just how foolish they are. That they have to gang up shows how desperate they’ve become!
12 Jul 2012, 16:13 pm
What is that disease/ syndrome/ habit/ condition or whatever that kids have when one kid is getting all the attention. when attention switches to the aggrieved party – he is still unhappy and gets more petulant? Because underlying all the geraas there is really a different problem altogether?
The Stormers are acting up alot lately. Shame mamma se kindjie. The idignation they are suffering at wanting to be the centre of attention because they are no 1 for now…. Now it looks like they can’t handle any comments anymore – don’t! say anything (negative) about the Stormers, but! don’t! also say anything about the Bulls or the Sharks. it’s really a problem.
plenty of examples right here in this thread.
**along with the usual disclaimer required for all the innocent Stormpies out there. You know who you are.
12 Jul 2012, 16:14 pm
@Biscuit(Biscuit)-139: thought that was the permutations with regards the reds…
think the Cheetahs will prove very tough for the Sharks, especially with Bissie on the bench.. they may just provide the upset..
cant see the reds beating the tahs by 5 either, but with Cooper back if they score one early then I think they will play expansively and try to accomplish it..

Shame all you want, you have the whole thing so backwards it’s actually funny.
The Stormers fans are perfectly fine discussing anything else, but it’s you Sharky and Bully fans who can’t bear the thought of the Stormers doing well who try to consistently break down their achievements this season. Acting up a lot? The only ones acting up are bitter Bullys who miss Bakkies and Sharkies who thinks they are now the best because the crushed the Bulls.
And i don’t even care, go ahead. But then YOU get to wear the whiny mamma se kindjie flag, cmon, you are earning it.

why do you care if the sharks and bulls respect each other?
12 Jul 2012, 16:50 pm
@Pee Wee(Pee Wee)-152: scoring two (or was it three) tries in the whole season. is just about average
the Sharks and Bulls are in process of building a new invincible team – can you excuse us for awhile – Springbok team…that is.
Thanks

Tacticus is such ai ignorat f00l. The Bulls lost 4 of their last 5 games and still he believes Bulls have better chance than Stormers.
Captain farking can of whoopass himself said Piere Spies should play Fullback when his not playing well at 8th man.

Tacticus
Gun die Stormers ‘n plekkie in die son man. Die Stormers het seker meer guts as enige ander span in die reeks gewys hierdie jaar. Die jong, uitgedunde span wat die Bulle op Loftus geklop het het baie karakter gewys.
Die Stormers het 87% van hulle wedstryde gewen teenoor die Bulls en die Sharks se 60% elk, so ek dink dit is uiters oneerlik en arrogant om dit aan geluk toe te skryf. Dis eerder die Bulls en die Sharks wat hulleself gelukkig kan ag om met hulle bonuspunte(4 driee en verloor bonuspunte) nog in die prentjie te wees.
Die Bulls sal weer opstaan, hulle is ‘n goeie span met ‘n fantastiese kultuur, en is nog nie uit die reeks nie, al dink baie dit is te laat vir hulle. Hulle is goeie spelers en goeie mense en ek wens hulle alles van die beste toe.
Maar met elke kommentaar wat jy hier lewer probeer jy ‘n goedkoop houtje inkry om vir almal te vertel hoe sleg en gelukkig die Stormers was.
Dit raak nou vervelig ou Tacticus.

Hulle behoort darem die Lions te wen en dan is alles weer hunkie dorie
Dan speel hulle teen die Crusaders in Kiwiland, en hulle gaan aan ons doen wat die Sharks aan ons gedoen het, die enigste verskil is dit sal al klaar gedaan wees in die eerste helfte
En die Crusaders gaan na rustyd hul beurt gesluit verklaar en hulle reserwes instuur om verder te kolf…
Die ouens het maar kort geheues, ons het met ‘n baie beter span, met Heyneke as afrigter, (ek gaan nie eers probeer om hom met Ludeke te vergelyk nie), twee keer weg semi’s gespeel, een keer in Nz en die ander in Aus en altwee verloor

The Bulls started well this year with their inexperienced team all things considered, WHEN Heyneke was still with them and in charge and it looked if we might just have enough firepower to go all the way
However with Frans in charge it took a turn for the worst and we won’t win a semi
The Sharks had lots of injuries and started badly, they will be strong contenders, you better hope you don’t need to face them

Didn’t the so called “feared” team lose to the bottom feeders the very next week? So feared that their fate is not known till the last round of the comp. Jokers of note! LOFL!

What’s the bet if one of the undeserved bottom dwellers win the comp., the rules will be changed next year. Money money money, thats all what it is, suck it out of the bottom dwellers while you have the chance.
13 Jul 2012, 07:59 am
dwelleres – what that?
Knowing your team’s success in play-off games I would pull my neck in for the time being. But arrogant will be arrogant I suppose.
13 Jul 2012, 08:03 am
I know it is hard to understand so I will type slowly just for you. The conference and extended play-off systems have been around for a very long time and is widely used around the world. Time for you to broaden your horizon a little, big wide world out there…
For what it is worth, if #5 or #6 team manage to win it actually support the fact that the system works, again I know you will struggle to understand that.
13 Jul 2012, 08:19 am
@Slartibartfast(Slartibartfast)-408: And if 5 and 6 do win it they really deserve it becomes they have it tough and need to beat three teams placed higher than them.

Let us humble supporters of “bottom dwellers”, Sharks and Bulls, not to mention Lions and Cheetahs never forget who is at the “Top”, sitting at no 2 on the log…
“Top”, not for winning the S15 comp of course… But “Top” for being Conference “Title” holders… while the actual Trophy still has to actually be won… Of course

Dont you follow the news?
13 Jul 2012, 08:51 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-418:
On paper the Sharks are a great team with the lock combo your only real weakness.
But the big difference between the Stormers and Sharks teams 2012 is mental toughness and the ability to grind it out week in week out. On your day you can beat the Crusaders in Christchurch but you can also lose to the Lions at Coca Cola Park.

@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-411: nothing “humble” about this:
214.Heavens Game:
2 Jun 2012, 14:59 pm
So here we are last game before Internationals.
If Sharks beat Lions with a 5 pointer that effectively gives the Sharks 54 points on the log including a bye.
Should the Stormers draw with the Bulls, this gives the Stormers 52 pts and Bulls 50 pts
Should the Stormers beat the Bulls, which will never be a 5 pointer, the Stormers will have 54 and the Bulls 49 (with bonus point)
The most likely scenario is that the Bulls beat the Stormers with a 5pointer which leaves the Stormers on 50 and the Bulls on 53…
So, at 9 o clock tonight we shall see the SA conference looking like this:
Sharks 54
Bulls 53
Stormers 50
Bulls and Stormers likely to win their first games after the Intl break with likely 4 point victories leaving the log at
Bulls 57
Sharks 54
Stormers 54
The championship game will then be played by the Sharks and Bulls with the Sharks likely to get a 4 pointer and Bulls a possible 1 point BP loss. Stormers could come short against the Cheetahs with a losing Bonus point.
The standings will be
Sharks 58
Bulls 58
Stormers 55
The last game of the season will play out as such
Sharks 63
Bulls 63
Stormers 60
Leaving the dynamite with a home semi…
You read it here first.
no humility whatsoever.

The Sharks are on the up and most importantly, scoring tries like other quality teams in this competition. I expect The Sharks to win at a canter and not to ‘grind out a win’ like the Stormsaders. The game against the Cheetahs was as boring as one would expect from the most overrated team in the competition. True championship material is not a tag the Stormsaders wear comfortably chaps.

You ladies should be happy…
Your team has achieved its goals… Conference “Title” holders… consistency in hardly any team crossing the tryline in all games, including the “Title” holders themselves…3 Boks.
The lowly Sharks and Bulls just might make the playoffs in comparison… Nothing like the “Top” team… I mean the “Great” Deon Fourie, once proclaimed as definitely the “2nd best Hooker in SA” now playing at 8…

Try understand d u m b a s s , stormers have achieved what they have so far, inspite of their huge injury toll. Therefore your pitiful example of Deon Fourie, with “great” in quotation marks, is juvanlile at best.

The important fact here, and one you are obviously forgetting, is that you are calling all WP supporters h o m o s e xual.
You are the one constantly with the g a y undertones (along with fern – what a coincidence).
You obviously cant criticize the actual rugby, because , well, look at the log.
13 Jul 2012, 11:38 am
@Stawm(Stawm)-456: Thought maybe your mouth was previously occupied with something suitably large and therefore gone suitably silent… save for the odd “educated” squeal of “juvenlile” of course.
I have only ever called WePee and Stormersader “supporters” Brokebacks or Breezers… Now if that appeals to your self described “hiddenhomo” or latent “tendencies” then obviously no apologies necessary… Because nothing wrong, yeah?
And look at the log… for all the talk of the Brokebacks being a “top” team, the lowly Sharks and Bulls may also be in the playoffs after tomorrow… Nearly as “good” as your “Top” team….

I’m sure you can see past the spelling mistake?
Think a bit again about your s.e.xual reference in your post. You cant resist it can you? Or perhaps you just simply dont have the intellect to come up with good arguments to support your bigoted viewpoints, and have to resort to gutter talk. In that case you cant really be held accountable.
