Cape Town – Welcome to Sport’s live coverage of the United Rugby Championship final between the Stormers and the Bulls at Cape Town Stadium!
3rd minute: TRY BULLS! Harold Voster scores after a bullocking run by Johan Grobbelaar, who broke away from a maul. Smith adds the extras. What a start for the Bulls!
1st minute: The Bulls get us underway, with Chris Smith kicks it high into the Mother City night sky.
* It’s bitterly cold at Cape Town Stadium, but the crowd who came in is warming up for a massive battle between the two arch-rivals at Cape Town’s famous 20210 Cup venue.
The trophy (Beastie, as they call all 20kgs of her) is on display on the pitch and there is a buzz in the air. The 31 000 faithful are in good spirits, and the only regret is that this majestic stadium isn’t filled to capacity for what is expected to be a fierce North-South derby.
There are lots of big names here, with former Stormers star Cheslin Kolbe giving his prediction for the game …
