All on the line in final Currie Cup round

Five teams are gunning for the top four places – and the higher the better – in the Currie Cup's final round robin matches this weekend.

This comes as the country's three most historically successful unions will be playing only for pride. The Bulls joined the Sharks and Western Province in falling out of the running for the playoffs last weekend.

The Griquas lead the table with five wins, more than any other side. They head into the seventh and final round with 25 points, followed by Boland (23), Lions (21), Cheetahs (21) and Pumas (20).

A loss for these sides could spell disaster while a win could mean a home semifinal or final.

They may have it harder this weekend, with the return of United Rugby Championship players possibly swinging momentum towards the struggling sides.
