All four SA teams have home games in the URC this weekend as the league stage comes to a close, with the Bulls, Sharks and Stormers all assured of playoff places, but still hoping to lock in the best possible finish.
The Stormers are first in action on Friday when they host Cardiff (19:00 kick off time), and a favourable result here should see them finish the pool stages in a favourable fifth position.
On Saturday, the Bulls host the Dragons (with kick off at 15:00), with Jake White’s team already assured of a home quarter-final.
Meanwhile, the Sharks will hope that Glasgow go down against Leinster and they win their match against the Scarlets (19:30 kick off on Saturday) to move up to third place.
The Lions are out of the running for a playoff spot, but will hope to end the league phase on a high against the Ospreys on Saturday (17:15 kick off).
SA teams well-placed in URC race
Scarlets (48), Benetton (46), Munster (46), Cardiff (46), and Edinburgh (44) are still in the Race to the Eight, but Munster face Benetton in the final round, which may cost one of these two teams a spot in the quarter-finals.
