The calculators have been put away and bonus points are all but redundant as the Super 14 rugby season comes down to one all-South African clash and a couple of winner-takes-all trans-Tasman shootouts this weekend.
With seven teams still in contention for four playoff spots, all that is certain is that the champion Bulls will finish top of the table and have a home semi-final in South Africa.
Their final match against the second-placed Stormers on Sunday still has implications elsewhere, however, and the Bulls' decision to rest most of their top players has prompted accusations of a South African conspiracy.
The Stormers will go through to the last four for the third time with a win or a bonus point draw against the Bulls in Cape Town.
The third-placed Waratahs just need to beat the fifth-placed Hurricanes in Sydney tomorrow night but are also concerned they dom't lose out to the Stormers in their bid for a home semi-final.
The fourth-placed AC T Brumbies play the sixth-placed Crusaders in Christchurch in tomorrow night's other decider.
