Some tough games to call

Sporting action is heating up around the country as some teams prepare to take some time off and others face a busy Christmas period, with rugby, football and cricket still in full swing this weekend.

SA's teams return to URC action with two thrilling local derbies, while an entertaining footy exhibition match and the Premier League provide the action there. Here are our best picks of the weekend in rugby and football.

Stormers v Lions
The Stormers host the Lions in what should be an entertaining game of running between two of the country's most exciting teams at the Cape Town Stadium. The Cape side have received a timely boost with the return of a number of Springbok stars for the match and being a must-win game, that could make all the difference.
