The Bulls and Stormers kept the South African flag flying high in the URC as they progressed to the final four in the competition, and attention will now turn to when they kick off their semi-finals this weekend.

The results mean the Bulls will travel to Scotland to face log leaders Glasgow at Murrayfield in Edinburgh on Saturday (15:30 SA time), while the Stormers will take on Leinster at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin (18:30 SA time).
For the Bulls, it is the first meeting of the teams in the knockout stages since the Scottish side claimed a famous Grand Final victory against the Pretoria-based side at Loftus Versfeld two years ago.
The Stormers are on the hunt for another title after becoming the first URC champions in 2022, although this is their first appearance in the semi-finals since 2023.
The kick off times allow for the possibility of semi-final 1 relying upon extra-time or a place-kicking competition to decide the outcome.
