Show Preview
Seasons are on the line tonight when the Stormers host the Sharks in the final round of the Super Rugby season. Tune in live on The Roar to follow this make-or-break derby between the coastal powerhouses of South Africa, starting from 11:05pm AEST.
There are individual matchups all over the show with Springbok implications.
Frans Malherbe will have a compelling tussle with the Beast, while the Ginga Ninja will probably domesticate makeshift tighthead Coenie Oosthuizen.
The lineouts will be hotly contested. The Sharks should have the edge in the loose, but the Stormers fetch and pilfer by committee.
Both backlines have top class speed and guile, but the Sharks will miss Curwin Bosch at 10. Watch for Dillyn Leyds back at 15 – he is lethal.
Prediction
The home team should put this to bed, avoiding the Crusaders.
Join The Roar from 11:05pm AEST for live scores and a blog of the match.
