Sharks vs Stormers preview:

This is going to be the game of the weekend with two of the top teams in the competition going up against each other. The Sharks has the most dangerous backline in the comp and the Stormers has one of the strongest packs. This game is going to be a very good game to watch because of the form these teams are in. I think that this game is going to be won by the team that has a better rounded game and that gives me a pretty good idea who I think will win. I do believe that the Stormers backline will be better with Willemse at 15 and I think that they are going to be more dangerous than what they were against the Blues.

Key match-ups:

Andre Esterhuizen vs Jamie Roberts: These two is not the best attacking centers there is but they are very important in their teams defense. They will both have to stop the first line attack thrown by the other team and the player that will be able to keep his defense sharps will give his team a massive boost in winning the game.
