    Yes I would tend to agree. I think it might be worth putting some real money on that one.

    As just about everyone has said so far discipline is key. They've scored 81 points so far and 69 have come from penalties. Obvious, but playing in their territory is also key. Habana has been having a lack-lustre start, though he showed glimpses last week. Aplon looks deadly, as usual, so Shep should be prominent in our tactical kicking and he needs to put the ball into the stands. We need to chase hard.

    Their defense is as stingy as ours and they have been good at the breakdown so it will be a grind if we are to hold them. Their set piece is second to none - took 3 tightheads from the Bulls on the weekend.

    A close loss would be an acceptable result leading into the Rebels at home but I might have an optimistic punt on a close win. Our boys have played solid footy when they've had 15 men on the park and a good bit with 14. They are due to pull off an ambush.

    Anyone know who the ref will be?

    Stormers vs Force at Newlands
    Referee: Pro Legoete (South Africa)
    Assistant referee: Mark Lawrence (South Africa), Christie du Preez (South Africa)
    Television match official: Gerrie Coetzee (South Africa)

    Never really heard of him, but from a quick google, it doesn't look all that promising:

    I'd like to see more quick ball to Mafi and Smith. Keep it tight and disciplined up front then spin it wide quick like Sheps and co did last week for the Cullet try. But as Zim says, mind the intercept king Habana.
