Cunning game plan. OR... try and suprise them with a not so good B game? Maybe it's a double bluff!

JP, think you need to bring your AAA game for this one for 82 minutes, as the Cheifs are bringing their A game to.

People are commentating the Sharks expansive attacking style but that is a recent development. When they met the Chiefs in Durban they were the usual SA team - rather plodding and predictable, over reliant on power plays like the rolling maul. The change has brought results so maybe the Stormers can take the hint?

Pointless comments really. If the Sharks dont play at their best the Chiefs will bury them. That is stating the bleeding obvious. Hardly worth column inches.

Go Sharks!!

Yep, its a big ask with all the flights and playing away, but the crux is the Chiefs Brilliant and agressive defense. I don;t think the stormers had a hope in hell of breaching it but if the Sharks support and offloading game clicks then they can breach any line. The flip side if that it is high risk, high concentration game plan after 3 time zones in two weeks... And you are facing a lethal counter attacking side who can score 100m tries. I don't think the sharks have a choice, they have to play their natural exciting style of rugby and then its up to execution on the night. The Chiefs just need to look to their performance, get ahead early and hunt the 7 pt mistakes. Basically just keep with their successful game plan of massive defence, monstrous counter rucking and deadly attacks.
