CAPE TOWN - The Bulls are still on Cloud Nine after thumping the Sharks last week, but the Stormers are also in buoyant mood after a last-gasp win over the Pumas.We took a closer look at three flashpoints that could decide the outcomeOne of the highlights of the match will be the one-on-one battle between Springboks Trevor Nyakane and Steven Kitshoff at scrum-time.
But Bulls captain Duane Vermeulen tried to sow some doubt in the referee’s mind already when he questioned the Stormers’ set-piece record: “You say the Stormers have a 100 percent success rate, but they don’t always say how many scrums fell down. There are many resets and things like that, and there are certain things that a ref needs to look at.
The Stormers won’t have Siya Kolisi available, but his replacement Jaco Coetzee is more a specialist in playing towards the ball anyway, while Bongi Mbonambi and Salmaan Moerat also don’t mind going into the ‘dark spaces’. Steyn has fed a Bulls backline filled with strike-runners from Stedman Gans to Kurt-Lee Arendse with aplomb, and his goal-kicking has been as reliable as ever.
