The Stormers and Lions only have pride to play for. Interesting to see the Sharks and Stormers shifting game plans in a years time. However if the Stormers go in this one with a nothing to lose attetude and play like they did last week on Newlands, they should be able to run those Sharks of the park with that backline. Midfield and wings have the ability to break the shackles big time.

Nobody has run the Sharks off the park this year. Can't see the Stormers do it.

With Coetzee back the Sharks defense is improved.

The Stormers light 5 are in for 80 minutes of pain.

Sharks by 10+ but no bonus points.

It sounds like that is already happening.

From reports Meyer's view is that Steyn should rest in the June window.

Bit of a bizarre situation but I guess Meyer is being pragmatic and realises that if he can keep going Steyn should play for the Sharks and then rest.

Apparently he has not trained until Wednesdays for a while now.

If Lambie was fit Steyn would have been rested a lot more.

We really don't need Steyn to break this weekend.

Really disappointing to see White playing Steyn into the ground. He should know better, they have Swiel on the bench.

Understand Fourie is out. 5 pointer for the Tjarks on a platter.

Really enjoying how the Lions are playing against the Bulls tonight. Plenty of endeavour. Bulls on their heels in defence.

63 mins gone 22-9 Lions

Great stuff by the Lions. Bulls continue to kick the ball the away and Lions keep running it back.

29-9 Lions

WOW. Nice result for the Tahs.

Coach-killer for Jake White.

Taute make amends for his f-ups with a drop try!

Wheels are starting to fall off for Jakeball. Waratahs now a chance for top spot on the table!

The game plan was not the problem it was the execution. Frans Steyn was awful again. He looks like he is inured. No surprise that Meyer is not going to play him. Barely looked like he was able to run.

Sharks all kicked like crap and their work at the breakdown lacked spark. Jakeball needs those areas to be spot on.

Oh an I can't remember who it was but some bright spark on here suggested that the Stormer's would lie down for the Sharks. Yeah right.
