So lets look at the remaining matches of the 4 S A Teams as a potentoiial guide as to what may happen: insoofar as the log is concerned:_
STORMERS
At home - Dragons. Edinburgh, Connacht, Glasgow,
Away - Ulster, Cardiff
There was a newspaper report a while ago to the effect that Cardiff asked for the match against the Stomers be played in Cape Town since they have a stadium problem making the match at home being problematic, Will have to wait and see whether that actually happens.
LIONS
Ai Home - Edinburgh, Dragons, Glasgow, Connacht
Away - Ulster, Munster
The Lions has been atrocious playing away this year - so t hey will have some real nihghtmares to remain in the Top 8 Rankings
BULLS

The Bulls has been atrocious playing away this year - so t hey will have some real nihghtmares to remain in the Top 8 Rankings

Will have to wait and see what the log positions will be over the next 6 weeks. The only SA team certain to be in the Quarterfinals will be the Stormers, the rest face serious challenges to remain in or reach the top 8 positions,
