Road to the play-offs: All-out war

Believe it or not, all six teams can still qualify for the Currie Cup play-offs.

While the table-topping Sharks and defending champion Golden Lions have already booked home ground advantage, it is going to be all-out war in the final round of league action as the remaining teams scrap for the last two places.

Just two points separate the third-placed Western Province from the bottom-of-log Blue Bulls.

The Sharks are well-placed to finish top – which brings home ground advantage not only in the semis, but also the Final, if they advance.

However, they face the giant killing act of the competition, Griquas.

The Lions will hope that Griquas do them a favour, but they must also overcome the Bulls.

And for added spice, Western Province and the Free State Cheetahs slug it out.
