URC FINAL: Stormers v Munster — LIVE UPDATES | The Citizen

It’s the United Rugby Championship Grand Final between the Stormers and Munster at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday. Kick-off is 6.30pm.

The Stormers are the defending champions, having beaten the Bulls in the inaugural final last season, so John Dobson and his team are looking to go back-to-back in the Cape Town Stadium.

Steven Kitshoff and his Stormers team qualified for the final after beating Connacht in the semi-finals, while Munster qualified by knocking out favourites, Leinster.
