The Brumbies travel from South Africa to Canberra to host the Stormers this week.
The Stormers have made a dismal start to their tour, but will hope to put one over the jetlagged Brumbies who have just returned from South Africa.
A loss for the Stormers will mean Rassie Erasmus will have to do some magical math and then be quoted on Monday as saying their season is STILL not over, although I suspect, if the Stormers lose, it will be the “other” Erasmus doing the talking in future.
Will the Stormers salvage some pride from this match?
Or will the Brumbies show that a three week tour of South Africa is a breeze and propel themselves up the log?

Probably.Gona miss the first half.Damn
Why can’t the Stormers win? They seem to have all the right ingredients.
It’s like perfect ingredients for a awesome pie and yet they always seem to come out with something that resembles an apple quiche. Food, yes but yucky.
@Lyndy_in_Mtl (Comment 6) : I vote you first make an apple quiche before knocking it. 😉 Let us know what it’s like.
Apple quiche?
