Stormers head coach John Dobson believes that this weekends game against the Sharks in Durban is a season defining game for his side.
The Stormers succumbed to their first defeat of the season two weeks ago to the Blues. The momentum the side from Cape Town had left, and they want to rekindle the form that handed them the tag of favourites. On Saturday they face a Sharks team in fine from, coming of a successful tour and win a upon their return home against the Jaguares last weekend.
"It is a massive game for us, its funny how the world changes quickly, in terms of the conference it is a vital game. This is a conference deifying game and potentially a season defining game for us. The conference is still a long way to go but for us it just feels like its a season defining game," said Dobson.
With injuries hitting their best players, the Stormers go to Durban with an ailing team. Dobson expects a kicking from the home side, he anticipates that the KZN based side will bring something different compared to what they have faced so far.
"The Sharks have the kicking, I think they are number three in the tournament, so they have a massive kicking game. The Sharks are third or fourth for kicking distance in the competition, their kicking contastables are up there. They Obviously lean of turnovers, their turnovers are amazing, their transition from defense to attack is superb. The Sharks have the biggest net effect penalty conceded," said Dobson.
