The likely result here is a win by the Crusaders, they are after all the overall Log Leaders.
Somehow a Crusaders win will benefit all the remaining South African Conference teams, resulting in the Stormers dropping off the pace a bit for the race in the Conference… and leaving the other 4 sides to figt it out for play-off positions.
However, a Stormers win will place them right back in contention and equal or just below the Sharks on Log points only 3 or 4 points adrift of the Conference leaders (Bulls & Jaguares).
The Stormers therefor fighting for survival and to stay in contention, whereas the Crusaders are comfortably in the lead overall and will stay there, despite the result of this game.
Stormers motivation therefor much more than the Crusaders motivation…
Not a single South African Conference side can now afford or allow a loss.
