Bomb Squad for Stormers
JPP has selected some of his best players on the bench (e.g. Ox, Vincent Tshituka, Grant Williams, Siya Kolisi). Phepsi has been selected at 6 whereas IMO he is our best 8. Jaco Williams gets another opportunity at 11 with Yaw Penxe / PK Sobahle bracketed for the other wing.
The Sharks will have to improve their breakdown – the Stormers open side Paul de Villiers is a very good jackler. Being a local derby I expect the Sharks to mentally show up for the game. Hopefully they can also manage to reduce the mistakes at critical times and improve general decision making.
