The Hurricanes had a bit of a struggle to get the better of the Brumbies and the weather conditions was played under atrocious conditions.
Now for the other two games - I think that the Lions should beat the Sharks and still think the Stormers - Chiefs game is a toss-up.   The Stormers struggled away from home  with a number of key players injured.  
So lets face it the semi's will be as follows:
Crusaders     -    Stormers, Chiefs, Sharks (lets hope the Stormers win)Hurricanes    -    Crusaders, Lions, Chiefs  (Lets hope the Lions win)

 Maaik, if the Sharks win, they will be going to Christchurch regardless the outcome of the Stormers/Chiefs outcome ...not?

 Sure that is the case at this stage.   However, the combinations are difficult.   If the Lions and Chiefs win - they will play each other in Johannesburg - with the Hurricanes playing the Crusaders.   As you said that if the Stormers win they are off to NZ to play the Crusaders.   if the Sharks win - they are off to NZ to play the Crusaders.   
There are so many ifs outstanding we will know to an extent after the Lions-Sharks game what will happen.

 Think you got that wrong Mike, according to the official site winner of GF1 plays winner of QF4  and winner of QF2 plays Winner of QF3
So Hurricanes play either Lions or Sharks and Crusaders play either Chiefs or Stormers

 The Lions managed to win the game despite Jantjies and Mapoe.   Jantjies missed 10 points kicking at goal and Combrinck 3.  
So now the position is clearer:-
Lions   vs   HurricanesCrusa ders  vs  Stormers/Chiefs

I think we all saw the Jantjies we know so well under pressure.

Pathetic. Panic stricken. Cannot be depended upon.

Simply put ... F0KK3N USELESS!!!!
