Steval Pumas slip to 5th on the LOG and the Vodacom Blue Bulls remain in 4th spot on the LOG for now.

Tomorrow there is the 3rd Currie Cup game of the Round… and that one could be vital for the overall standings…

It is the game between the Xerox Golden Lions vs DHL Western Province at Emirates Airline Park in Johannesburg.

Should the Golden Lions win, they will leap all the way into 4th spot on the LOG!!

Should the Golden Lions lose, then next week the Vodacom Blue Bulls will play the Steval Pumas for the 4th spot on the LOG and final entry into the semis!!
