Rescheduled URC derbies confirmed

The new dates for the two opening round Vodacom United Rugby Championship derbies involving the four South African teams, which were moved to avoid a clash with the Carling Currie Cup Final in September, have been confirmed.

Originally, the DHL Stormers were due to take on the Vodacom Bulls in Cape Town and the Hollywoodbets Sharks were to host the Emirates Lions in Durban.

These fixtures have been rescheduled to Saturday, 8 February and Saturday, 8 March respectively.

The DHL Stormers will host the Vodacom Bulls at the DHL Stadium on 8 February, and a month later, the Hollywoodbets Sharks will welcome the Emirates Lions to Hollywoodbets Kings Park. Both clashes are scheduled to kick off at 14h00 and will be broadcast live on SuperSport.
