The pool games finish up in Bloemfontein of all places, where the top South African team takes on the Cheetahs in what is nothing more than a mere formality in the big scheme of things, with the Stormers already qualified and the Cheetahs nowhere close to qualification.
The Stormers can finish second on the overall log though, which would give them a bye weekend next weekend while teams 3 through 6 battle each other for semi final spots.
The Cheetahs have nothing more than pride to play for and even though they have had a fairly decent run of late, which came to a grinding halt against the Sharks a few weeks back, they are still in red hot form and cannot be written off completely.
Tune in for the final round robin game, which kicks off around 19h10.
Cheetahs : Hennie Daniller, Riaan Viljoen, Robert Ebersohn, Barry Geel, Ryno Benjamin, Sias Ebersohn, Sarel Pretorius, Davon Raubenheimer, Ashley Johnson, Johan Wessels, Martin Muller, Francois Uys, WP Nel, Adriaan Strauss (capt), Coenie Oosthuizen.
