SA teams are on a roll

URC: BULLS, SHARKS, STORMERS ANCHORED AS LIONS NEED MINOR MIRACLE

- Jacques van der Westhuyzen

With just two regular season matches remaining for all 16 teams playing in the United Rugby Championship, things are looking up for the South African teams.

Though the Lions, who're in 13th position on the points table with 35 points, will need a minor miracle to make it into the top eight for a place in the playoffs.

The Bulls (third, 58), Sharks (fourth, 53) and Stormers (sixth, 45) are on course to feature in the quarterfinals later next month.

With some luck, the Bulls could even still sneak into second place overall, to secure a home semifinal if they advance that far.
