Overview
- The URC final, which is scheduled for Friday 19 June, will kick off at 20:30 at Croke Park in Dublin and will be broadcast live on SuperSport.
- Previews highlight the Bulls’ physical set-piece work, direct one-on-one approach and a strong kicking and aerial game led by Handré Pollard, Willie le Roux and Embrose Papier.
- Leinster enter the match as defending URC champions and bookmakers’ favourites but will be without Ireland prop Andrew Porter and must assess the fitness of Caelan Doris and Dan Sheehan during the week.
- The Bulls arrive highly motivated after a comeback semi-final and the team’s fourth final in five seasons, a run driven by sustained attacking output across the campaign.
- This is the first back-to-back URC Grand Final pairing and the fourth knockout meeting between the clubs, with the Bulls holding an overall URC-era edge in their head-to-head record.
