After overcoming the Sharks this past weekend, the Bulls have reached yet another URC final, and will touch down in Dublin on Monday.
Jake White’s charges are preparing for one final challenge against the much-vaunted hosts, Leinster, who will undoubtedly be favourites at Croke Park this Saturday. Kick off is at 18:00 (SA time).
Bulls determined to finally claim victory in the URC final
This will be the Bulls’ third appearance in the final in four seasons – and coach Jake White is desperate to see his side finally take the next step to glory.
“It’s a massive achievement to reach another final, but we haven’t won anything yet,” White said after the match. “This is just another step. We need to learn from tonight’s battle and prepare for an even tougher test ahead.
“Next week’s final will be the biggest test yet,” he added. “We’ll face a team with many internationals and British & Irish Lions, away from home. Our players want to be part of these big games – that’s how you get better.”
Despite the immense pedigree of both teams, neither has lifted the trophy during the URC era. The Bulls have lost two Grand Finals, while Leinster — eight-time league champions — will be competing in their first-ever BKT URC Grand Final.
Adding to the intrigue, two of Leinster’s three URC semi-final defeats have come at the hands of the Bulls. The quality on the pitch will be unquestionable, with stars of the upcoming British & Irish Lions tour lining up against a host of Springboks, including double World Cup winner Willie le Roux.
