[QUOTE="saulan, post: 1126928, member: 60236"] Well... this is a bit of a weird announcement. If the Stormers or Sharks win and are "hosts" of their semi finals, they will host it the Stoop (Stormers) or at StoneX stadium (Sharks). I mean I get it in that there are many South Africans in London to get to those games... but these would be those matches if they do host: Stormers vs Saracens (Stoop) Sharks vs Leicester Tigers (StoneX Stadium) ... why not just have the Saracens game at StoneX stadium then? In general, London is a good spot to pick for South African teams to be pseudo playing at home, and maybe they would just want to make it artificially a bit trickier for the Saracens supporters to just make it a home game. Weird. I do hope that one of these games do happen. I'd be very intrigued to see both the attendance and the mix of the attendance of these between the two sets of fans, particularly the Stormers Saracens one. [/QUOTE]
