URC Final - Stormers v Bulls: All you need to know (RTE.ie)

Kick-off time, team news and TV details for Saturday's United Rugby Championship final between the DHL Stormers and the Vodacom Bulls in Cape Town.

"We are up against a deserving and strong Stormers side that has shown throughout the season how competitive and hungry for success they are. So, to be able to play in the final is an incredible feat. They were at home in Loftus Versfeld for their quarter-final against the Sharks but they had to overcome the five-in-a-row-chasing Leinster at the RDS a week ago. However, the former Bull had endured a tough afternoon until that point, missing his two easier conversions, as well as a drop-goal attempt that was both poorly executed, and the wrong option at the time. For us it feels like a privilege to coach against somebody of his stature. He’s coached all over the world." Jake White's side defended aggressively and got up off the line quickly, not allowing Leinster to move the ball to space. Instead Leo Cullen's side were forced to carry, at which stage the Bulls contested relentlessly at the breakdown. Stormers v Bulls is live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player from 6pm, with Jacqui Hurley joined by Jamie Heaslip and Jerry Flannery in studio. Libbok was the hero of the semi-final against Ulster, with his touchline conversion in the final play of the game sending his side through to the final. Equally, a number of Stormers have been recognised for their incredible form of late, with five players named to the URC Team of the Season, and No 8 Evan Roos (below) sweeping up the league's awards, claiming the Players' Player of the Year, Fan's Player of the Year and Next Gen Player of the Year titles. Likewise, the Bulls have been in devastating form, winning ten out of their last 11, including play-off victories against the Sharks and Leinster. However their only defeat in that period came against their final opponents, going down 19-17 to the Stormers in Cape Town in April.

Gutsy Stormers break their curse, claim URC title after fairy tale season (News24)

John Dobson's troops showed that they had turned a new leaf in SA rugby's new chapter in Europe, claiming the first URC title on offer by virtue of 18-13 ...

Foiled initially by a Bulls combination that dominated territory, the Stormers held the upper hand in the collisions and consequently created more opportunities. Some might argue that the Stormers continued their season-long habit of pulling games out of the fire - particularly taking into consideration that they were nowhere in the first 30 minutes of this match - but that would be doing a gutsy second half showing an injustice. For the best part of a decade the Stormers were masters of racking up inconsequential silverware and accolades in Super Rugby, winning conferences and shields before imploding in the knockouts when the stakes were at their highest.

Stormers clinch inaugural URC title despite slow start against the Bulls (RugbyPass)

The Stormers clinched the inaugural United Rugby Championship title by overcoming a slow start to earn an 18-13 win over the Bulls.

Libbok could not add the conversion and Smith cut the gap to two with a penalty. Libbok was the Stormers’ hero in their 17-15 semi-final victory over Ulster last weekend, kicking the winning conversion at the death. The concern for the Bulls at the break will have been their inability to fully capitalise on their control of the opening period and, after briefly restoring their seven-point advantage with a Smith penalty at the start of the second, the Stormers were soon level.

Dobson whitewashes Jake as Stormers bury Bulls (Keo.co.za)

John Dobson did the treble on Jake White in a stunning Vodacom United Rugby Championship final in Cape Town, writes Mark Keohane.

- N0 8 Evan Roos has had a season to remember, enjoying success in the Vodacom URC Awards and earning a call-up to the Springbok squad. The Stormers are fourth on the list with 66 - The Stormers have been a potent attacking force this season and their offensive play is very rarely thwarted by their own indiscipline. If the government Covid regulations had allowed for a capacity crowd, then 50 000 would have been at the DHL Stadium for what was a magnificent occasion. The Stormers this season were the best South African team in the URC and they have the SA Shield to show for that, and they are also the best team in the URC because they have the first ever URC trophy to show for that, courtesy of a two-try to one 18-13 win. White is comfortably one of the best coaches in the world, but he missed a trick in the URC final, just like the Bulls missed a trick on the three occasions they played the Stormers this season.
