Leinster, the Glasgow Warriors, Vodacom Bulls and Hollywoodbets Sharks advanced with quarterfinal victories to set up a pair of highly anticipated semifinal matchups across the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Top-seeded Leinster will host the defending champions Glasgow Warriors at Aviva Stadium in Dublin in the first semifinal. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. local time (3:45 p.m. SAST).
Despite having won eight league titles in previous formats, Leinster is seeking its first Grand Final appearance in the BKT URC era.
The second semifinal will feature an all-South African showdown, with the second-seeded Vodacom Bulls welcoming the Hollywoodbets Sharks to Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria. Kickoff is set for 5:15 p.m. local time (6:15 p.m. SAST).
The Bulls have reached the final twice in the last three seasons, while the Sharks are making their first semifinal appearance.
The remaining teams have also narrowed the list of potential Grand Final venues, with Croke Park (Dublin), Loftus Versfeld (Pretoria) and Hollywoodbets Kings Park (Durban) confirmed as possible hosts based on seeding. As the fourth seed, the Glasgow Warriors are ineligible to host the final.
FloRugby will carry live coverage of both semifinals in the United States.
