About the match
The URC Grand Final lands on the same Saturday as the Premiership Final and the Champions Cup hangover — busiest rugby day of the year. Venue is whichever surviving semi-finalist sat highest in the table, which means a 50/50 between Croke Park-or-Aviva muscle, Loftus altitude and Cape Town Stadium. South African sides have lifted the trophy in three of the last four — Bulls and Stormers have learned to manage the trans-equator schedule. Irish provinces are still chasing their first URC era title beyond Munster's 2023. TG4 take it free-to-air in Ireland, Premier Sports keep it locked behind a paywall in the UK; SuperSport's call in SA still beats anyone else in the world for atmosphere when a home franchise is in it.
Venue = home of highest-ranked qualifying semi-final winner.
