The new dates for the two opening-round URC derbies involving the four South African teams, which were postponed to avoid a clash with the Currie Cup final, have been confirmed.

Originally, the Stormers were due to take on the Bulls in Cape Town and the Sharks were to host the Lions in Durban on the weekend of 21/22 September.

These fixtures have now been rescheduled to Saturday, 8 February and Saturday, 8 March respectively.

The Stormers will host the Bulls at the DHL Stadium on 8 February, and a month later, the Sharks will welcome the Lions to Hollywoodbets Kings Park. Both clashes are scheduled to kick off at 14h00.

The URC will resume on 29 November after the end of the international break.
