I didn't see the team sheets but I suspect the Canes played with a full strength team and the Saders rested their best players. Otherwise the Saders are in trouble!

Don't forget the Bulls, I was at the Lions vs Bulls match last Saturday and the teams were fairly even when both sides had their strongest team on the field. I think the Bulls might just win their conference edging out the Stormers, while the Lions and Sharks will compete for the honors in our conference

I think your team is going to surprise you. You are playing the Stormers 1st so we will know by next weekend. The winner of that match will probably also win the conference
 
Yeah but it also depends on injuries and we have alrady had a couple of major ones even before the season started.. but man would i give my left nut to see an all south african final again for a change. As long as it doesnt consist of the kings:p
