With two rounds to go in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship, all four South African teams are in the race to finish in the top eight. Check out where your team is positioned on the grid!
The Vodacom Bulls have their playoff fate very much in their own hands. A favourable final two fixtures sees last season’s finalists host a winless Zebre, before facing what will likely be an inexperienced Leinster side in Pretoria. Seven points are needed from those two games to guarantee a quarter-final place.
However, due to tournament rules, the Vodacom Bulls will need to finish at least in seventh place to secure a Champions Cup spot, as the winner of the Welsh Shield is guaranteed a place in the tournament, even if they don’t finish among the URC’s top eight.
