For Crusaders hooker Codie Taylor, the Stormers showed their intent in their match against the Chiefs with a scuffle in the opening minutes of what turned out to be a big victory.
He is expecting more of the same tonight when the South Africans take to the AMI Stadium pitch in a match between two conference leaders.
The All Blacks back‑up hooker, believes that new balance makes the men from Cape Town, who have lost only once this season, dangerous opposition.
The Crusaders will face the Stormers at 7.35 tonight, the Highlanders will meet the Sunwolves at 5.15 this afternoon, while the Force will play the Chiefs at 11.45pm.
In the matches played last night, the Hurricanes defeated the Brumbies 56‑21, the Kings beat the Waratahs 26‑24 while the Lions defeated the Jaguares 24-21.
The Waratahs were booed off by their own fans after the game at Allianz Stadium.
