Blues v Lions 
Both these teams are out of the semis, and neither know how to win. Both have minimal momentum and a draw would be a fair result. The Lions have played some good rugby at times, they are simply a 60 minute team, whereas the Blues have been very ordinary for entire games. As much as the heart and belief says the Lions can do it, i’m going to go with history, home town advantage, and the fact the Lions simply can’t put teams away and win when they should. They are the best team at losing games they should win. Blues by 7

Farce v Horrorcanes 
The Farce had a big win last weekend, whilst the Horrorcanes got well beaten by the Sharks. Even though the Horrorcanes have to travel, i’m picking them to be too desperate and too strong for a Farce side that can’t really dominate any aspect of play.

Islanders v Reds 
The Reds have lost 19 in a row away from home. Islanders by 15 end of story.

Brumbies v Stompers 
The Brumbies have been through a lot over the last 2 weeks with McKay’s death. They also have to travel back from South Africa which is the only reason I am thinking about this one. The Stompers meanwhile are awful. Against the Worrytahs it took them 79 minutes to show the desperation to score a try.  And their coach was busy abusing officials. They need to take a long hard look at themselves before blaming anyone else. The fact that there is talk of cancelling the game and the Brumbies won’t train until Thursday shows their headspace is not on this game. Players also have the option of not playing. I’m picking Stompers desperation and Brumbies lack of focus to allow a Stompers win by 8.

Worrytahs v Bulls 
The Worrytahs are in a great position and a win here should almost see them able to secure a home semi. The Bulls have been derailed in the past 2 weeks. The forwards have to front up. They’ve work hard all week, it’s time to do the damage. For all us Bulls supporters, c’mon and let’s show them what we’re made of! Bulls by 10

Cheaters v Sharks 
This should be 5 points on a platter for the Sharks, but we all know the only games a South African team wants to win is against another South African team! Other than winning in 2007, the Sharks have a poor record in Bloemfontein. We also have a new Aussie ref…let’s hope he doesnt ruin it. I’m picking 5 points for the Sharks as they win by 15.
