This with the first match of this round is a good one to watch as both these teams are in great form and both need to win.

The Stormers have won 4 of their last 5 their lone loss comming at the hands of the Blues but they only just lost that game,in this latest winning run they have beaten the Cheetahs,Force,Cheifs and Reds and have scored over 30 points in all of their 4 wins,they are playing a very good structured game right now and it will take a massive effort from the Huricanes to get over them here at home.

The Hurricanes are'nt going to bad either although last weeks win can be put down to the Bulls bad play just as much as the Canes good form,the Canes have been playing well on defence and have also looked good in attack with the shift of Nonu last week it opens them up to even more attacking options but I still don't really know if they have enough to beat the Stormers at home.

The Canes have won two of their last 3 against the Stormers but were beatn by them last year in NZ 17-30.

No matter who wins this game there will not be much in it,the Stormers have been playing great of late and the Canes narrowly lost to the Crusaders and should of been given the win against the Sharks,so this match looms large for both sides who both still have a shot at making the finals,I'm going to give the win here to the Stormers because the Stormers will not make the same amount of mistakes as the Bulls did last week and with the backline play of the Stormers and forward structure of them also I can see the Stormers pulling out a narrow win at home against the high flying Canes..Good Luck.
