The Stormers and Bulls are set for a blockbuster battle in the URC this Saturday. Here is the kick off time to take note of.
The URC returns this weekend, and although there is just the one fixture to be played, it’s set to be an absolute blockbuster between the Stormers and Bulls.
The Stormers dwell down in 12th place, but the Cape side have recently found some great form, and will be pretty confident of their chances at their home ground this weekend.It is the only fixture in the URC this weekend as it actually makes up for the scheduled clash that was postponed from 21 September last year to avoid clashing with the Currie Cup final.
This was followed by on-field training, during which the players were split into forward and back units. The backs worked on skills execution and passing, while the forwards completed a good couple of lineouts and mauls. Take a look at what the weather has in store for South Africa’s nine provinces this Monday, 3 February 2025.
