The Bulls, Lions, Sharks and Stormers are all in the running to make the URC playoffs, with six rounds remaining.
There are now only six rounds of matches remaining before the competition reaches the knockout stages.
Irish giants Leinster look well set to finish top of the United Rugby Championship pile in a few weeks’ time, while all of 15 teams in the 16-side competition are in the running to make the top eight and feature in the quarter-finals. The Sharks’ next two games are against the same teams, but the other way around, with Zebre this weekend, and Leinster the following week, before they, too, head abroad. And like the Bulls, these two home matches are massive in their quest to finish in the top four.
