There are some very interesting games coming up in Round 12 and I think I would comment briefly on those:-


*   With Ben Smith and Fekitoa back next weekend - the highlanders will make mincemeat of the Sharks in this round.   If you think the Crusaders was strong against the Sharks wait until you see this one.


*   Brumbies vs Waratahs.   This game will be decisive as to the standing of these two teams in the overall Super 15 log and also the Australian Conference log - would eb interesting to see what happens in this game.   I suspect the Waratahs will win this one.


*   Hurricanes vs Crusaders.   Insofar as the Hurricanes are concerned - this is a key game.    Although this year the Crusaders did not cover themselves with glory - I suspect the Crusaders will win this one.


*   Rebels vs Chiefs - is this going to be another upset result?  I am not sure at all.  The Rebels beat the Brumbies and put up a remarkable show against the Waratahs.  At home they might easily upset the Chiefs.   Would not at all be surprised if they beat the Chiefs.


*   Cheetahs vs Stormers - the Stormers should win this one with relative ease.


*   Bulls vs Lions - another dog eats dog one where I would hesitate to predict an outcome.   It will largely depend on the Bulls team selection.   If they pe rsist with the team that played the Stormers yesterday - it will be a 50-50 game.

 Canes beat the Saders twice last year Mike. Seeing the Canes red hot form. And being at home, I would be more inclined to go with the canes. Cheifs well murder the Rebels .

 canes beat tha saders twice last year and this year the saders are far from their best form (I don't know if they are going to reach it this season,..... hope so but till the moment doesn't seem like,.....) so canes are clear favs for this one IMO,........

but never discard the saders, if they reach their best form or simply have a good day they can beat any other SR team,..... and they have now very little margin if they want to classify for the finals,.... so a very interesting match next weekend

 The crusties maybe a very average side packed with wee abs but they should beat the hapless hurricanes! Remember how the Stormers blitzed them!! 
Ou maaaikie re the Sharks. It wont surprise me if they beat the highlanders. You can take that game against the crusties as an aberr ation.  They are improving and had they had their full strength side the highlanders would of course copped a very sound drubbing!
As for teh wee chiefies well ask the Force waht they think of these oaks. Force very nearly beat them playing with 14 men. Rebels could do it if they put their minds to it.
