The last-ever Pro 14 champions Leinster look to go for five-in-a-row this season in the inaugural URC campaign.

Likewise the Vodacom Bulls have a few players returning to their squad. They signed Johan Goosen, and brothers Bismark and Jacques Du Plessis from Montpellier this summer as they look to make an impact in the URC. The Bulls have won the last 2 Currie Cups and are very strong, even with the loss of Duane Vermeulen. Former Ulster back row and player of the year Marcel Coetzee is in the touring squad.
These two sides are among the strongest teams in the URC this season. Both have the habit of winning in recent years and we could see these two sides face each other later in the season for the title. Check in on Balls.ie every for info on how to watch Leinster.
