In Friday’s URC 2026 final live broadcast, Ireland’s Leinster Rugby will take on South Africa’s Vodacom Bulls for the second year in a row, with the former attempting to seal a 10th title and the latter finally lifting the trophy after three final defeats in four years.
Despite finishing “only” second in the URC league stage this season, Leo Cullen’s Leinster have shown they are still the powerhouse of Northern Hemisphere rugby. The reigning champions outscored the Lions in the quarters 59-10 before beating the Stormers 20-11 last time out. Now the likes of Sam Prendergast, Josh van der Flier, Tommy O’Brien and James Lowe (in his last game for the club before leaving for Japan) return to Croke Park in search of a second successive title.
Canan Moodie, Harold Vorster, Ruan Nortje and Johan Grobbelaar carry the scars of those three lost URC finals for the Bulls – this is a monkey on their backs they will be desperate to get rid of before the end of Friday night. But this year could well be their chance, with a matchday team that features 11 Springboks and has already beaten Leinster once this season. They will just have to hope they haven’t used up all their lucky charms in the thrilling one-point semi-final victory over Glasgow Warriors.
