Round 12 of the Super 14 saw the competition close right up as the Brumbies and the Hurricanes both picked up bonus point wins while the Waratahs, Reds and Crusaders all suffered heavy losses. The result is that we now have those five teams all between 34 and 32 points, meaning the final two weeks of the competition will be critical.

The Crusaders have the toughest run-in as they take on the Bulls and the Brumbies in their last two games and may have to rely on other results going their way. 

The Reds have the Hurricanes and the Highlanders, two teams that they should beat, but also two teams playing with such confidence anything could happen.

The Waratahs are still to play the Chiefs and the Hurricanes. They will need to step up their efforts if they are to proceed through.

The Brumbies take on the Highlanders and the Crusaders, two games which will test them given the Highlanders form and the Crusaders desperation.

The Hurricanes play the Reds and the Waratahs, two teams they are capable of beating if they keep playing well.

1. The Bulls (1): Last Week: Won vs Sharks 27-19   Win/Loss: 9-2
The Bulls ended the Sharks five game winning streak as they beat them 27-19 to extend their streak at Loftus to 17 wins. The Stormers may be playing better rugby right now, but I can't drop the Bulls after a win, their Round 14 game will likely decide who comes out on top of these rankings.

Positives: Look to have secured a spot in the semifinals with the win. Great to see Bakkies Botha back on the field.

Negatives: Morne Steyn has been a bit off with the boot of late, in saying that he still scored 17 points.

 

2. The Stormers (5): Last Week: Won vs Crusaders 42-14   Win/Loss: 8-3
Wow. That pretty much sums up the Stormers performance against the Crusaders. They simply blew them off the park. Not only was their defence superb...
