SPOTLIGHT: With three rounds left until the first United Rugby Championship’s play-offs, 13 teams are still in the hunt to reach the knock-out stages.

Finishing in the top four will guarantee a home quarterfinal.

It means that the contest for seedings will be a key storyline to follow in addition to who can make the top eight.

With 39 games remaining there are 10 direct clashes between teams currently in the top eight of the URC table and so much will change each weekend based on the results of these high-jeopardy games.
