The four South African teams will look to make up valuable ground on the United Rugby Championship (URC) log this weekend as they take the field with a number of games in hand against most of the overseas franchises.
In a repeat of last week’s matches at alternate venues, the Bulls will host the Lions in Pretoria at 15:00 and the Stormers will meet the Sharks in Cape Town at 17:05, with both encounters being broadcast live on SuperSport.
The South African sides will go head-to-head in gripping local derbies in the next two rounds, as they make up for their URC matches that were cancelled late last year due to the travel restrictions.
