The Vodacom Bulls and Sharks will attempt to advance to the Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup semi-finals, respectively, for the first time this weekend.
The Sharks will take the field first against Edinburgh at Kings Park in the Challenge Cup quarter-finals on Saturday after thumping Zebre Parma last week, while the Bulls take on Northampton Saints in England, following their comprehensive win against Lyon.
The Pretoria outfit, however, will take confidence from the fact that they suffered only one defeat in the competition, while their attacking statistics are marginally better with 25 tries to 22 by the Saints, and they will enter match well aware of the fact that this is a do-or-die clash and that they have everything to gain.
