THE PREDICTION
Should the Bulls stumble on Friday against the Pumas, this match will decide the winner of the one-off Super Rugby Unlocked tournament. Two bonus points separates Bulls in first place with the Sharks and Stormers here, with all three teams winning four and losing one of their matches so far. The Bulls handed both of them their only loss of the tournament and so to usurp the league-leaders in the last match of the campaign would make for an electrifying match. However, that seems unlikely and it is more reasonable that this will be a dead rubber tussle for second place. In either sense, the home side will enjoy a slight advantage but the Stormers have been the better team in recent weeks after Sharks beat Griquas by just one point last time out.
If this match is a dead rubber then the Stormers can continue the form that saw them beat the Cheetahs last week to win but, if this match is for the title, all form goes out the window. In a fight for the title it is likely that the scoreline will fall under 40 points in a tight and fierce battle.
