With a place in the URC Grand Final up for grabs, one thing is guaranteed: a South African team once again will fight for the URC crown.
These two fierce rivals don’t have to dig deep into the past to recall how intense their matches can be.
Their meetings are often high-stakes, high-drama affairs—and fans will remember their thrilling 2022 URC quarterfinal, where the Bulls snatched a 30-27 win, thanks to a last-gasp drop goal from Chris Smith.
More recently, however, it’s the Sharks who’ve held the upper hand, beating the Bulls twice this season—including a 10-point triumph at Loftus, handing the Bulls their only home loss of the year.
Now, with everything on the line, these familiar foes will battle it out again.
Here are the lineups and kickoff time for the Vodacom Bulls vs. Hollywoodbets Sharks URC semifinal:
