OK now we have the Stormers, Lions, Sharks and Bull teams. and my commen re as follows:;-
Lets put it mildly the Stormers team with Libbok nd Moerat, as well as Fourie being the captain makes the team looking like joke. Sacha may beat the Lions on his own they have vey ltle tp help hem to win. However, the Stormers is rapidly on the way down. The Shark are still mising Etzebeth - big loss - and with Esterhuizen back at center is very disappinting. The Lions backline looks vulnerable without orne being playing and using a rookie flyhalf, The Bulls looks good enough to beat the Sharks.
