 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Bye  :  Round 16   :   Highlanders

Bye  :   Round 17  :   Chiefs

Bye  :   Round 18  :   Crusaders

Bulls have to beat the Blues to stay in contention for a Top 8 log position.  Same for the Rebels.

Brumbies should beat Sunwolves with ease

Another walk in the Park for the Jaguares

A real disgrace for the Hurricanes is obvious.   The Hurricanes has a wonderful backline - but near to the worst tight forward combination in Super Rugby this year. 

Stormers likely to beat the Lions.

But the possibility of upsets is obvious.   The Crusaders could try and give the Chiefs a lift on the log - but that is no certainty and with only one game remaining after this Round it is unlikely to work out for the Chiefs anyway.  .

Stormers Updated

Incredible the changes to that Sunwolves team,only Abbot,Pryor,Van der Heever and Burleigh from the team that lost to the Brumbies on 12 May.

In contrast the Brumbies only have two players Swain and Sio who are replaced in the starting line-up ,but they're still on the bench.
