And then, there were two.
The Super Rugby AUS final will round off a busy weekend of rugby in the west, as the Western Force host the NSW Waratahs in what is set to be an action-packed final at Wanneroo on Sunday.

The last time the two sides met at the opening match of the competition nearly a month ago, it saw a tense affair before a second-half burst saw the Force run out 24-3 winners.
The hosts continued their form the following week, booking their spot in the final with a victory over the ACT Brumbies, before going down in the last round to a firing Queensland Reds.
The Waratahs, meanwhile, moved in the opposite trajectory, producing a stunning victory in Narribri over the Reds, before overcoming a fast-finishing Brumbies with a critical win in Canberra to book their final tickets.
Both sides will enter the match looking to claim the inaugural competition title, and both have brought plenty of new muscle to the party in Wanneroo.
The visitors have made just one change to the starting side that defeated the Brumbies, with Isaac Kailea shifting back to the bench and Tom Lambert starting in the set piece, while all other players retain their starting positions.
However, the big changes come from the bench, as Lachlan McCaffrey adds three crucial changes that should give the visitors significant momentum, with Joey Walton serving as a crucial centre back up and Shute Shield grand finalist Otto Serfontein joining him.
The last inclusion is Wallaby Matt Phillip, fresh off being cleared to play following a suspension reduction, who will prove a major handful for the Force off the bench.
The Force have made three changes to their starting side, including Rising Star winner Albert Alcock and former Nathan Sharpe medallist Kane Koteka.
Viliami Fine will complete the changes to the starting side, returning to the wing in place of Henry Palmer.
Justin Landman joins the bench in Fine's place, while head coach James Stannard brings an experienced head of his own into the finishing pack in the form of 25-capped Super Rugby star Reed Prinsep.
