After a weekend of joy and dismay for the Sharks and Vodacom Bulls in European cup action, all four South African sides refocus on round 14 of the Vodacom URC.
The action in the URC returns this week with the Sharks shuttling off to Glasgow to tackle the Warriors on Friday, before Saturday’s schedule has the Lions take on Leinster at Ellis Park, the Bulls host defending champions Munster in Pretoria and the DHL Stormers square up to Ospreys at Cape Town Stadium.
In the SA Shield, the Bulls lead the charge on 20 points from five derbies, closely followed by the Stormers with 17. The SA champion will be determined in the final round when both teams end the league phase of the 2023-24 season with an SA derby at the beginning of June.As inevitable as Leinster’s pole position may appear, the logjam from second to 11th primes the table for big swings in the coming weeks and every loss is potentially damaging for teams still in the playoff hunt.
The Bulls are two points ahead of Munster, who are just four points ahead of the team they beat in last year’s final, the Stormers. The visits of Munster, Glasgow and Leinster to the Republic are going to have a telling impact on how the SA teams finish.
