So Stormers go top of the log, but somehow, it seems all too hollow. A strange season, where there has been more rain in the desert than tries for the Stormers. Can they go further? I just don’t know.

Congrats Stormers for topping the log. Well done, whether they played attractive rugby or not, it is winning that counts and that they have done well.
Congrats to my Sharks for making the play offs and also congrats to Bulls. The saffa teams rule in the top 6 and that makes me proud.
