A mixed bag for SA in the URC

As the United Rugby Championship (URC) breaks for the November Internationals, with the competition a third of the way through, South African sides have had a mixed bag so far.

Highveld rivals, the Bulls and Lions, have enjoyed strong starts and are firmly placed in the top half of the table, while the Coastal sides, the Sharks and Stormers, sit in the bottom half.

All four SA teams however have a game in hand over all other sides in the URC, after their opening round of fixtures was postponed due to the Currie Cup final, which sees them having played just five rounds, and the rest six.

The Bulls on 19 points and Lions on 18 are thus very well placed at third and fourth on the URC log respectively, and both teams have lost just one game so far.
