United Rugby Championship Semi-Finals


The URC has reached the semi-final stage this weekend where the defending champions, Stormers host Connacht at 16:00 SAST on Saturday at the Cape Town Stadium.
  • United Rugby Championship Quarter-Finals
  • Stormers vs Connacht
  • Leinster vs Munster

The second semi sees an all-Irish affair with Leinster hosting Munster in what could be a cracking contest.

Stormers vs Connacht


Kick Off: Saturday, 13 May @ 16:00 SAST
Where: Cape Town Stadium

Connacht caused a major shock in the quarters, beating the much more fancied Ulster away from home. The 15-10 win ensured the Stormers had a home semi-final after they comfortably saw off the Bulls in a South African derby.

Stormers vs Connacht Team News

Both sides should announce their squads on Friday.

Odds

The hosts are huge favourites with a price of 1.16 while Connacht can be backed at 5.00 to cause another upset. The handicap for the fixture is set at 16 points with bet.co.za

Leinster vs Munster


Kick Off: Saturday, 13 May @ 18:30 SAST
Where: Aviva Stadium

Leinster were expected to beat the Sharks in the quarters and did so with ease, thrashing the South Africans 35-5 on home soil. To top it off, they also rested a host of players for the game as they also have a Champions Cup final to look forward to in a couple of weeks.

Munster have not enjoyed their best season but have found some form at the back end of the tournament. That said, games against arch-rivals Leinster often go down to the wire when form is thrown out of the window.

Odds

Leinster are paying 1.12 for the win with Munster priced at 6.00. The handicap is set at 14 with bet.co.za

Leinster vs Munster Team News

Teams will be announced on Friday.
