Kick-off times, team news and TV details for both of this weekend's United Rugby Championship semi-finals.

A look through the URC Dream Team for this season would tell you all you need to know about the way the Stormers play. The Western Province are lethal when given space to play, with wingers Leolin Zas and Seabelo Senatla combining for 20 tries between them this season. Damian Willemse was a surprise inclusion in the starting line-up for Saturday semi-final. But here we are in June in the final weeks of the season, and it's two Irish and two South African sides still standing. If they can do that, they'll limit the influence of the Bulls' power, a major step along the way to winning. Almost everyone would have anticipated Leinster's route to the last four, while Ulster's place in the semi-finals was also closer to expectation than hope.

For the Bulls trio the clash with Leinster is a real audition and opportunity to force their way back into Springbok consideration. In the centres the likely Irish centre combination of Robbie Henshaw and Garry Ringrose start. Whilst on paper Leinster appear superior in most areas, the battle of the backrows is finely poised and should lead to a great spectacle.

And the Springbok veteran did the necessary with a penalty that took the Bulls eight points ahead with less than five minutes to go. The score-line read 24-14 with too much time to go, if you were a Bulls fan. The Bulls held onto their 17-14 lead into the break, thanks in no small part to Grobbelaar pilfering the Leinster breakdown with impunity. But the hosts were bailed out by a generous turnover penalty without a clear release from referee Andrea Piardi. It was scything Leinster attack versus dogged Bulls defence and the latter won the day. Bulls director of rugby Jake White sat in the stands instead of the custom coaches’ box, where he had no walkie-talkie to bark at.

Leinster Rugby's season ended with a single-point loss to the Vodacom Bulls in the URC semi-final at the RDS Arena.

The visitors pounded out the basics of the pick-and-go for almost four minutes at the start of the second in a move to go further ahead until Leinster forced a turnover on their own line. It took a delightful piece of handling from Robbie Henshaw, a typical thrust from Larmour and a Henshaw carry from a ruck to produce the home side’s second try which Byrne converted for 17-14 in the 34th minute. The lineout clicked and Zak Burger’s flick of the ball off the floor allowed Marcel Coetzee to punch in the second try, Smith converting at the posts for 17-7 in the 26th minute. A Leinster error was followed by another penalty for Smith to pump the ball towards the five-metre line. The first scrum saw Andrew Porter twist a penalty out of Mornay Smith and Leinster used the boots of Garry Ringrose and Ross Byrne to look for territory. Leinster Rugby’s season ended with a single-point loss to the Vodacom Bulls in the URC semi-final at the RDS Arena.

The province end a season trophyless for the first time since 2017 as the South Africans pulled off a shock win at the RDS.

Cian Healy added a third Leinster try with the clock in the red, but the Bulls had already put the game out of reach. Again it was Grobbelaar driving forward at the back of a strong Bulls maul which crashed just short of the line. It was to be his last action of the game, the tighthead making way for Michael Ala’alatoa with 30 minutes to play. Then another killer, Ross Molony dropping a pass to offer replacement Bulls outhalf Morne Steyn a very kickable shot at the posts. With less than two minutes on the clock Leinster were camped on the Bulls line, but the longer the series of close range carries went on, the less likely it looked that Leinster would find a way through. Elrigh Louw peeled off the back of a lineout and brought the Bulls infield, the ball eventually finding its way to Coetzee, the former Ulster man doing well to collect it around his knees and burst through under the posts. The momentum swung again, but while Leinster clocked up plenty of territory they were struggling to find that clinical edge as the error count rose. A five-metre scrum offered a prime opportunity, but the Bulls won possession and cleared the danger. A draining defensive effort ensued, Porter eventually winning a huge turnover as the Bulls left empty-handed. Suddenly it was the hosts under pressure, camped on their own line as the Bulls hammered away in search of a gap. The Ireland centre’s superb offload initially set Jordan Larmour dancing through a blur of white jerseys, before a strong carry from Joe McCarthy brought Leinster deeper into the Bulls half, the ball eventually working it’s way back to Henshaw who produced an acrobatic finish under pressure. This is a team that travelled to Dublin as the competition’s second-highest try-scorers – no prizes for guessing who holds top spot – and the team that has thrown the most offloads.
