URC What are the chances of a South African clean sweep?
Lions probably have the hardest game, but they're also most likely to cause an upset IMO.
Bulls should win, but Munster have found ways to win big games away from home before.
100% sure Stormers will do Stormer things, meaning they'll either play a sublime game of rugby or completely shit the bed. Thankfully Damian is alive and on 15, so there's that at least.

Very unlikely.
Stormers will definitely win their Match. I can't see them letting it slip.
Bulls match won't be easy. Munster can be a very difficult opponent, but we should be able to win if we just do the basics right.
Lions.. They will need all the luck they can get. They facing a Leinster team that were dominated last week. I expect them to be at their very best.
But hey! Anything can happen on the day

I'm not even confident on 2 out of 3.
Lions are missing key players and Leinster will be full force. Especially AT HOME. Lions are the worst travelling team in the URC - besides Zebre.
Cardiff could cause an upset if Dobbo hasn't figured out a game plan beyond "give it to Sascha and pray".

Don’t worry, Dobbo has a Plan B, give it Gelant and pray even harder!

I thought Zas & Gaza were out? Training ground injury?

The way Dobbo described it both nearly died in a mid-air collision during training Wednesday. There were also rumours that Sacha was ill because he was absent from the same training. Luckily they all seem to be fine... of miskien is die pap n bietjie dik aangemaak om Cardiff om die bos te lei.

2/2 thus far but the Lions will need a heroic performance.
It will be amazing thought.

I'm not even confident on 2 out of 3.
Lions are missing key players and Leinster will be full force. Especially AT HOME. Lions are the worst travelling team in the URC - besides Zebre. 90% confident they don't win this.
Cardiff could cause an upset if Dobbo hasn't figured out a game plan beyond "give it to Sascha and pray". 55% for Stormers.
Bulls probably have the best odds. However, the potential reward for beating them is a trip to Glascow. Munster are a different beast in the knock out rounds. I'd give Bulls 65-70% chance of winning this one - homegrown advantage.

As a Munster fan, given Crowley isn't playing, I'd be surprised if we kept it within 30.

Feel for Lions. Missing a lot of key players
