    50 @ Wallabie.:

    I picked the Reds over the Canes. they have homeground advantage and they won last week as well after suffering a first game defeat. The Canes are a quality side no doubt – but like you say, they have played at Suncorp sine 09 – and that place has become somewhat of a fortress for the Reds.

    Adaptation will be key, encapsulated in stunning fashion when the Chiefs, losing to the Crusaders and Hurricanes to end the regular season, adjusted their game against the red and blacks the second time around – proving that great cliché that the best sides will always have a plan B…

    Of course, this cliché was torn to shreds during the Super 14 era, when the Bulls three titles came via a gameplan that everyone knew was coming, but no-one knew really how to shut down.

    Some feel this is the missing edge needed for South Africa to add to their Super Rugby titles, with their famed physicality, power around the set piece and defensive prowess obvious when running the rule from the sides from the Republic.

    Even with imposing primary weapons, think the Bulls with Morne’s boot, the Stormers with their ironclad wall and the Sharks with their awesome scrum, count for little without the added brushstrokes, the multitude of options – that history has proven is required for a team to lift a Super Rugby trophy.

    Just Do it again Bulls force your game plan down their throats.
    Smash the cliches.

    ^Think you forgot the being in possession of one of the worlds best tactical kickers and pivots in the name of Fourie du Preez, the worlds best ruck cleaner in Bakkies Botha, one of the worlds best line out jumpers and stealing the opponents balls in Victor Matfield and one of the fastest wings in world rugby andaman guy who could made nothing out of something in Bryan Habana. Who off course all ain’t there anymore

    Thanks to Gena_za and Bullscot.

    I would go with Reds provided that the hurricanes captain Conrad Smith himself won’t be risking too much today for his last week concussion and therz only counted big players in canes today, but the Reds might be more strong mentally as for they are playing at home.
