Go BEKKER & The STORMERS...they should roll the Waratahs this week and narrowly win the home final over the Crusaders.

Bulls to narrowly beat the Saders and the Stormers to maul the Tahs.

Well now that Queensland are out of it i might as well follow the Waratahs for the finals. The only Australian team in there so I'd prefer them to go all the way over South African/NZ teams.

Can't see too much hope for the Tahs. tough ask for them to jet in and perform in a one-off. the stormers have only lost at home once this year which was against the brumbies and even then they didn't play too bad.

But it's certainly not impossible for them to come away with a win. Beale and Mitchell have been in great form, Horne had a blinder last week while Turner and Waugh will be tough to stop. That said, I think the Tahs will need a monster performance from Waugh.

The match between the Crusaders and Bulls should be a cracker.

well Crusaders got done by the Bulls and Stormers smashed the Tahs so all South African final. COME ON THE STORMERS!

Haha Tahs got smashed .

Should be a good game next weekend, dont really care who wins but I think the Bulls will make it 2 in a row.
