Updated URC log after rough weekend for SA teams

It was not a weekend to remember for SA teams in the URC, with the latest round of action beginning with a disappointing defeat for the Stormers after the Cape side had initially opened up a 17-0 lead.

On Saturday, the Lions were then handed a rugby lesson as they were hammered 42-0 by Glasgow, while the Sharks suffered a 10-7 defeat to a weakened Leinster team in what was a woeful game.

The only ray of light for the SA teams came from the Bulls as the Pretoria-based team at least managed to run away 63-24 victors over Zebre, which has all but confirmed their place in the playoffs.

There is now a brief break in action before the league resumes for the final pool matches, with just four more rounds remaining before the knockout stage.

HERE IS HOW THE URC LOG LOOKS FOR THE SA TEAMS AFTER THE LATEST RESULTS

These latest results saw the Bulls hold onto third place on the table (50 points) – four behind defending champions the Glasgow Warriors and 12 behind Leinster.

Meanwhile the Sharks (45 points) remained in fourth place, the Stormers sunk to 10th-place (35 points) – one behind the eighth placed Edinburgh – and the Lions slipped a position to 14th as they remained on 30 points.

With four pool games remaining in the cross-hemisphere showpiece, the Bulls and Sharks will have their sights set firmly on remaining in the top four for possible home quarter-finals, while the Stormers and Lions are under more pressure to win their remaining games to keep alive their playoff hopes.
