Nobody beats the Stormers by 59. Their defensive systems are too good. But if you can score 20 points you are very likely to get the win because the Stormers probably won't.

I think the Bush Donkeys have a bit too much in attack for the Stormers to handle.

Fleck is a coach that don't learn from mistakes.
1 Coleman cost us so many mathes in the past, Fleck will stick with him.
2. Schalk Burger is a has been, he will keep playing him. We lost our best CC player in Cloete who is a specialist nr 6 flanker.
3. Kebble. He rate him high.
Players need to have pressure to perform. Fleck have his favourates come better or worse.
Brumbies by 60.

Stormers vs. Brumbies (#STOvBRU), 4:15 (AEDT) Sunday March 20th:
Fast fact: The Brumbies have ‘5 Super Subs’: Nigel Ah-Wong, Michael Dowsett, Les Makin, Josh Mann-Rea & Jordan Smiler have come on to the field after starting as reserves in all three of their matches in 2016. The Rebels have only called upon 1 player off the bench in each of their three games (Pat Leafa), the Force 2 (Chris Heiberg & Peter Grant) and the Reds 2 as well (Ben Matwijow &Sam Talakai).
The Brumbies’ two-game South African tour (they play the Cheetahs in Round Five) comes on the back of a solid win over the Force in Round Three which sees them retain their 100% record. It’s a case of one the competition’s best attacking sides coming up against the competition’s best defensive team; while the Brumbies & Chiefs have scored the equal most tries of any team in the competition (15) thus far, the Stormers’ 3 tries conceded is the fewest of any team.
The Brumbies will look to target the Stormers’ scrum, third worst in the competition as it operates at 77%, but against the best tackling team in the competition (91%) they’ll need to ensure Tomas Cubelli, Christian Leali’ifano & Matt To'omua turn on their best creative talents to secure territory and advance the attack. Getting into a kicking competition with the Stormers is dangerous; they kick more than any other team (26.7 times per match)!
The Brumbies have utilised their bench very effectively so far in 2016 with a try to a reserve in every game so far (2 to Mann-Rea and 1 to Ah-Wong). Tom Staniforth won two important turnovers last week while both he and Smiler made a crucial lineout steal apiece; championship-winning teams traditionally call upon a full match day squad regularly on the way to success, and if the Brumbies’ replacements can again make an impact here and help them retain that perfect start they’ll be travelling very nicely indeed!

They have a good record at Newlands too.........
I think they'll need to put in a better 80min performance than they did against the Tahs and Force though.

Yeah, but it's early days. The rout against the Canes was misleading, but they can get back to that quality easily, having shown it once.

Stormers at Newlands will show up. Ive heard theyre not so strong this season but I dont buy it they will fight for a win at home... Will be a tough one for the brumbies... If the Brumbies apply the slow pressure game they can win... By 10
Or so...
