URC: All SA teams, kick off times this weekend

The four South African sides participating in the United Rugby Championship (URC) will be gearing up for big battles this weekend, as the cross-hemisphere competition heads towards a break during the Nations Championship next month.

Leading the way, the Bulls – currently in third spot on the log – and Stormers will be looking to make the most of their last home games before the Nations Championship break, while the Sharks and Lions will be determined to finish their URC overseas legs on a high note against quality opposition.

The Lions will take the field first on Friday against the Glasgow Warriors in Scotland (21:45), while three matches will play out on Saturday, with the Stormers taking on Ulster in Cape Town (14:45), the Bulls lining up against the Scarlets in Pretoria (17:00), and the Sharks going up against Munster in Limerick (19:30).
