United Rugby Championship: Final Prediction

The Bulls beating Leinster in Dublin last week was a huge shock, and what a great boost for South African rugby that the inaugural URC final will take place in Cape Town between two South African teams!

Next season, the other teams will need to raise their game, and the competition should go from strength to strength.

Here is my pick for the URC Final this weekend.



Stormers v Bulls

I’m still in shock that the Bulls won in Dublin, and so surely if they can win there, they can beat their more familiar foe in Cape Town? But then home advantage could be crucial, and the Stormers will be fresh having only played one away game since February. The Bulls have been to Ireland and back in the last week, and whilst the travel demands are much lighter compared to Super Rugby days, fatigue could still play a part. The Stormers have beaten the Bulls home and away this season, and in front of their own fans, I think they are slight favourites to win. It should be close and I can’t wait! Stormers by 2

With a wet pitch and rain squalls, it might play into the Bulls game. I want the Stormers to win but Jake White is a wily tactician, and there is a lot of depth in his squad. Bulls by 5.

For URC Fantasy there is a solitary centre available across both teams. There's not even any bench options. Are we expected to just have one deaf position? I guess all fantasy players are in the same boat

Yes the only option is the available centre. 17 Jun 11:46

No problem. My three centres are Vorster, Ringrose [Leinster] and Bennett [Edinburgh]. It accentuates the stupidity of rigidity in player's positions as further exemplified by Perofeta and Beauden Barrett both listed at fly-half in the Blues. Some flexibility must be introduced by Superbru next season - maybe members' input may uncover workable solutions. 18 Jun 11:56

Wil you get points for a centre being on the bench, but on fantast it shows his a flyhalf? Example damian willemse?

How did The Bulls convince actor Mark Wahlberg to become their kicker btw? Was it a bet with fellow 'The Departed' actor Matt Damon after watching 'Invictus'? Going the other way, anyone else noticed that Damian McKenzie has stolen Richard Gere's trademark 'look way & smile' gimmick as if remembering an amusing incident?

SB don't tend to set up cycling contests until about a week before it starts as teams of 8 (out of about 30 per squad) won't be known until then. So I'm assuming the 'Flagship' Tour de France is happening. If not I'll be running a Velon private league again, which is only half as cool. Really think SB could offer their fantastic & detailed game to cycling websites to fully justify the huge efforts Gamesmaster Dawid K puts in.
