Rugby Punt-it

Leinster dismantle the Bulls in a brutal URC final in Dublin, and we unpack how it collapsed so badly on the biggest stage. From there, attention flips to the international season as SA ‘A’ took on the Zim sables, Cheslin lit up the Boks’ first hit-out against the Babass & we take a look at the newly announced Bok Squad for the Nations Championship.

One game remains. The Bulls have a shot at URC glory, but standing in their way is a Leinster side desperate to avoid another season of what-ifs. We unpack the final, the match-ups that could decide it, and then shift our focus to the international season as the Springboks return to action. From SA 'A' to the Barbarians, we make our calls on who starts, who misses out, and what Rassie might have up his sleeve.

The Bulls produce the defensive display we've been begging for all season, overturning an 18-point deficit to stun Glasgow and book a return to the URC final. Meanwhile, the Stormers' campaign comes to an end in Dublin as Leinster's accuracy, pressure and relentless attack prove too much to overcome. We unpack the semi-finals, the refereeing talking points, the reaction to the Bok squad with who’s in, who’s out and who’s giving Rassie a lot to think about.

A brutal reminder of what knockout rugby is all about. The Bulls bullied Munster into submission, the Stormers booked their ticket despite making life harder than necessary, and Leinster responded to their European heartbreak by putting the Lions to the sword. We unpack a weekend of statement wins and lingering questions before turning our attention to two massive semi-finals where the margin for error is all but gone.

Leinster were blown off the park in Bilbao as Bordeaux turned a European final into a statement. Another final, another collapse, and the questions around this Leinster side are only getting louder. We unpack the French dismantling, whether the Lions are catching Leinster at the perfect time, and turn our attention to a URC quarter-final weekend where the margins are tight and where a bad 20 minutes can end a season
