Currie Cup knocks URC into next year

NEWS: The Currie Cup Final won its battle with the start of the United Rugby Championship.

the South African Rugby Union's request to have the Round One URC SA derbies postponed has been granted.

The derbies, rescheduled for the weekend of September 20, would have clashed with the Currie Cup Final.

Originally, the Stormers were due to take on the Bulls in Cape Town and the Sharks were to host the Lions in Durban on Saturday, September 21.

These fixtures will be rescheduled to early 2025.

"The URC is working with SARU and the home teams to reschedule these fixtures to update ticket holders and supporters as soon as possible," a statement from the URC said.
