The Stormers secured their place in the Champions Cup playoffs with an unconvincing win over Leicester Tigers in Cape Town, while the Bulls tight win over Section Paloise has given them a chance of making it to the knockouts.
The Sharks strong win over ASM Clermont is likely not enough to get them through, and they will probably drop into the Challenge Cup last 16, while the Lions were dumped out of the EPCR after their draw with USA Perpignan in France.
Although it wasnt the best of performances, the Stormers did their job by downing Leicester 39-26 at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday evening, to earn a bonus point win to seal their spot in the Champions Cup knockouts, after not qualifying for them last season.
