There is no doubt that when kick off arrives at Murrayfield this Saturday, it will be a mighty challenge trying to predict a clear favourite between the Bulls and Glasgow Warriors.
Both teams enter this Saturday’s URC knockout clash on the back of immense quarter-final performances.
The Bulls put on a clinical display at Loftus Versfeld to comfortably dispatch Munster 45-14, proving that their attacking fire and relentless forward pack are hitting peak form at just the right time.
Meanwhile, Glasgow earned their home semi-final with a gritty 33-21 victory over Connacht, setting up a heavyweight rematch fraught with recent playoff history.
Glasgow famously shocked the Bulls in Pretoria to lift the 2024 URC trophy, a heartbreak the Pretoria side haven’t forgotten, while Franco Smith’s side managed to pip the Bulls twice during the regular season in incredibly tight encounters.
However, the Bulls have improved significantly since then, and every sign suggests this is going to be an extremely hard-fought battle.
The Bulls’ semi-final against Glasgow will kick off at 15:30
After the Bulls get semi-final proceedings underway on Saturday, the Stormers will take on Leinster at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin (18:30 SA time).
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.
