After a dramatic weekend of quarter-final action, only four teams remain in the hunt for Vodacom United Rugby Championship (VURC) glory.

Glasgow Warriors will host the Vodacom Bulls in a clash between two of the competition’s most physical sides, while Leinster welcome the DHL Stormers in a heavyweight showdown packed with international stars.

Leinster ran in nine tries on their way to a 59-10 quarter-final win against South African side Lions.

The Stormers booked their spot in the URC last-four with a hard-fought 44-21 win over Welsh outfit Cardiff in the quarter-finals in Cape Town.

Warriors defeated Connacht 33-21 at Scotstoun Stadium on Friday evening and Bulls convincingly defeated Munster 45-14 at Loftus Versfeld stadium on Saturday.

Semi-Final 1 will take place in the Scottish capital city of Edinburgh; It is the first meeting of the teams in the knock-out stages since the Scottish side claimed a famous Grand Final victory against the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld two years ago.

Semi-Final 2 the defending champions Leinster will welcome the Stormers to the Irish capital of Dublin at Aviva Stadium. The team from Cape Town became the first BKT URC champions in 2022 and this is their first appearance in the semi-finals since 2023.
