Please note this game is early morning Saturday not Sunday morning.

Can the Rebels break the SA Voodoo? Who is still fit on tour?

Thanks KevinO. I am concerned about the injuries but I have to have faith that if the boys are in the right head space they can defeat the Stormers . All Super Rugby players and teams are elite players and so much of their success comes from their head space. Going into a game they have to know what they can do and they have to know that they can defeat their opponent - otherwise they will fulfill their destiny. I have faith. I think they can do it. Wessels needs to get into their headspace and give them the encouragement they need to fight for it. GO Rebels

Depends really if the Stormers want to play on the day. They one of those teams that performs about twice as well at home as any other ground.

I wonder if the Cape Town water supply issue will affect the Rebels. I do think it’d be playing on the minds of the Stormers and could be a factor in their results so far. They are human after all.

The only problem they might face is that the hotel pool will likely be filled with sea water.

Oh really? That's a damn shame. Would have been good to watch that one.

Three way battle with Coleman, Hardwick, and thew western cape Bruno. Dickie showed last weekend he's prepared to take a few punches, and even bites from the opposition.

I love to watch all three of them go about their business. The mongrel of Coleman and Bruno reminds me of the old Saffer thugs of my youth - Corne Krige and Bakkies, but I digress.

Stormers would have to be favourites for this game, but the Rebels, if early season form can be recaptured, are the best chance for an Aussie win this weekend.

its the same knee for Hardwick, i was a bit surprised he was declared "fully fit" to play so early in the season having watched him at pre-season. Uelese may not be fit for the June test series.

I agree on Uelese too. He will struggle to be fit, and find the form required, to be ready. His biggest challenge is getting his number two back.
