Need to check Speed this year - that's where the Qatar MotoGP was televised on the weekend. Good to have it back on Fox away from the fucking awful FTA.

This has happened because the AFL has programmed two games at exactly the same time and they have pushed Fox into showing both. Fox should have told them to get lost and put the second best match on a two hour delay. But I don't think they've got the cohonnies to face up to Demetriou.

Seems like this Stormers side is losing a forward with every hour that passes!
Control the high balls (gulp) and Vermuelen and Reds should win this one comfortably.
Quade and Willie are building something again over the past two matches and the piggies have definitely upped the intensity.
Reds should have parity in the scrums and should control the line outs without much issue. Stormers line out still hasn't really recovered from last year it seems.
If we had CFS healthy and a back three player that is dominant under the high ball I'd be backing the Reds to put them to the sword. All things considered, I'm expecting a slightly muted but not-too-tight victory.

Brilliant on Saturday. Race long duel between Marquez (current title holder) and Rossi, with Marquez prevailing by 1/4 second at the finish - just like Rossi/Casey a couple of years ago.

Stormers change seven for Reds
Cape Town - Coach Allister Coetzee has announced a team showing seven changes for the Stormers' final Super Rugby tour match on Saturday - against the Reds in Brisbane (kick-off 10:40 SA time).
Springbok centre Juan de Jongh has been restored to the starting line-up, following his return from injury via the bench last weekend, whilst WP Under-21 star Jurie van Vuuren will make his first Super Rugby start after being named to partner Michael Rhodes at lock.
Van Vuuren, who came off the bench last week, is a product of the WP Rugby Institute in Stellenbosch and has lifted silverware with the WP Under-19 (2012) and Under-21 (2013) teams in the past two seasons. His promotion to the starting XV, in the absence of injured lock Ruan Botha, is one of three changes to the Stormers pack that started against the Brumbies in Canberra last Saturday - the others see Deon Fourie start at hooker and Nizaam Carr come in at No 6.
Tazz Fuzani and Sikhumbuzo Notshe also come in as replacements on the bench. Fuzani, 23, played three Currie Cup matches for Western Province last season, to go with nine appearances at Vodacom Cup level, whilst Notshe - who left school at the end of 2012 - has played 12 Vodacom Cup matches for Province.
In the backline, meanwhile, the return of De Jongh means a switch back to inside centre for captain Jean de Villiers and Damian de Allende moving back to the wing where he began the 2014 season. Louis Schreuder will come in at scrumhalf, with Nic Groom dropping down to the bench after three starts in a row.
