The shock of round five most certainly came from Durban, where the Griquas stunned the Sharks. What’s in store this weekend?
Game of the weekend: Lions vs Western Province
Western Province remain the only unbeaten side in the competition, following their crushing win over the Eastern Province Kings last weekend. They’ve opened up a five point lead at the top of the log, and don’t look like relinquishing it any time soon.
The Lions are one of the sides with a shot at catching the leaders, despite a disappointing loss to the Bulls in round five. They’ll be raring for a win back in front of their home fans to get themselves back on track this weekend.
It all sets up a mouthwatering encounter at Ellis Park this weekend. Western Province have won the last three of the encounters between the two sides, and will bring plenty of confidence into the game – it should be enough to get them across the line this weekend, just. Western Province by 3.
