URC semi-finals: Leinster take on the Bulls in Pretoria while Munster welcome Glasgow Warriors to Thomond Park

on opposite sides of the draw this weekend. On Saturday, Leinster are down in Pretoria to take on the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld, kick-off is at 3pm Irish time.

At 6pm that day, Munster welcome Glasgow Warriors to Thomond Park. The winners of the two games will square off in the final with the game taking place at the home venue of the higher ranked seed.If you can get yourself to Pretoria, there are plenty of tickets remaining on the Bulls’ website. Closer to home, Ticketmaster has a number of seats remaining for Munster at Thomond Park, with prices starting at €25.

All four teams involved will name their squads on Friday. Leinster have Garry Ringrose and Jack Conan available after they returned to training. Conan was withdrawn from the victory over Connacht at half-time nearly two weeks ago now and missed the Ulster quarter-final, while Ringrose hasn’t featured since the last weekend of the Six Nations.

Leinster, who ended the regular season in third, did enough for a home quarter-final against Ulster at the Aviva Stadium. However, with the Bulls, who finished second, also qualifying, the South African side earned the rights to host this fixture, ensuring Leinster had to make the journey to the southern hemisphere.

Should Munster win on the weekend, the final will be in Thomond Park, regardless of what happens in Pretoria. If Munster lose, then the last game of the year will be held in the home venue of whoever wins between the Bulls and Leinster, given both are seeded higher than Glasgow.
