The Lions appear to be the only South African franchise that can reach a semifinal in this year’s Super Rugby competition, but they will have to be at their best to travel to Australia and beat a stubborn Force team.
I like the visitors to win by around six points. In other games I cannot see a win for any of the Cheetahs, who host the competition’s only unbeaten team in the Crusaders; the Sharks, who play the Jaguares in Argentina; and the Kings, who host the Rebels.
So here it is: the Crusaders to win by 17; the Jaguares by six; and the Rebels to sneak home by four points.
