SOUTH Africa is guaranteed to have a team in the final of the United Rugby Championship after a weekend of quarter-final action saw the Bulls and the Sharks advance to the semi-finals.
-
The Stormers delivered a disappointing performance in Glasgow to end their campaign, but the Bulls and Sharks showed plenty of fight to come from behind in their quarter-finals to beat Edinburgh and Munster respectively.
The two South African sides will meet in Pretoria on Saturday, and on current form, the Bulls will be favoured to win and advance to the final, where they will face the winner of the semi-final between Leinster and Glasgow.
