The last match for this weekends S14 sees the high flying Stromers up against the Highlanders,this is another game where the home side is being given all the credit and the away side is being given none,I would'nt write the Highlanders off in this one at all.

The Highlanders were thrashed 47-17 last week in what was their biggest loss of the season,but I would'nt expect that to happen this week as the Highlanders were just put away by a rampant Bulls side lookig for redemption.this week they face a Highlanders side not being given much of a chance,anyone who knows how the Highlanders play that these games are made for them to excell in.They will be very disapointed by last weeks efforts and I expect them to take the Stormers very close here today.

The Stormers are looking good and have now won 4 of their last 5 and have won their last 3 against the Hurricanes,Cheetahs and Force,they have been great on defence and are playing well with the ball also,but this match is another one with alot hinging on the result,the Stormers need to win this game to really entrench themselves in the race for the finals and a 5 point win is what they will be looking for,I doubt they will get it,last weeks game was a hard game for the Stormers and they have lost a couple of players for this week,the bvulk of their side is still there but they could be a bit under done here this week after seeing what the Bulls did to the Highlanders and if the Stormers don't enter this game in the right frame of mind they could find that the Highlanders are'nt a bad team at all.

The last 3 matches between these two sides have been good results for the Highlanders a draw and 2 wins to the Southeren men including a 15-30 win here in Cape Town two seasons ago.

I would never take a start this big against the Highlanders especially not after what happened to them last week,they are a team of fighters who were just hit by a side who needed to show something last week,I expect the Highlanders to bounce back this weekend and a win for them is'nt out of the question against a side with it all to play for..take the Highlanders with the start here...Good Luck.
