URC: 2025 Final Prediction

It all comes down to this! After 3 years of finals in South Africa, the 2025 final will be held in Ireland for the first time in the URC era and it's the Bulls who will visit Leinster at Croke Park.

URC Final - Leinster v Bulls

This is an intriguing game, with Leinster the home team and clear favourites with the bookies and most people seem to think they’ll walk it. However, it’s not their home ground - yes it’s in Dublin, but it’s not the RDS or the Aviva - and they have developed a habit of choking in the latter stages of tournaments.

The Bulls will relish their underdog status, and will come into the game full of confidence on the back of 8 consecutive wins (including a narrow victory away at Munster).

I can’t see it being a walkover for Leinster, which is what the bookies seem to think and I’m weighing up whether to risk an Away win, or play it safer with a narrow home win. The head says a narrow Leinster win, but I’m definitely not ruling out an upset. Prediction: Leinster by 6
