Overview
- The United Rugby Championship announced two semifinals for Saturday, June 6: Glasgow Warriors v Bulls at Murrayfield with a 15:30 South African kick‑off and Leinster v Stormers at the Aviva Stadium with an 18:30 South African kick‑off.
- The Bulls received a late boost as tighthead prop Wilco Louw, who missed the quarter-final with bronchitis, is expected to travel to Scotland and could strengthen their scrum battle.
- Leinster head coach Leo Cullen will make late calls on the availability of seven frontline internationals, leaving their match‑day selection uncertain heading into the Aviva tie.
- The Stormers face confirmed losses from the quarter-final, notably flyhalf Sacha Feinberg‑Mngomezulu with a serious ankle injury, while other players are sidelined by concussion or knee issues.
- Coaches from all four sides have singled out forward and set‑piece dominance as decisive; the Murrayfield switch from Scotstoun’s 4G surface to grass is also expected to affect scrummaging and lineout dynamics, and Johan Grobbelaar will mark his 150th Bulls appearance in the tie.
