All the info on broadcasters for this important URC clash
Watch Bulls v Sharks for a South African derby today in the United Rugby Championship, with a free live stream in New Zealand among the broadcast offering for an important game that’s being shown in many countries.
Both the Bulls and Sharks are challenging towards the top of the URC table, and this game could have an important impact on the season. Bulls sit third on 39 points, while Sharks are right behind them on 29 points, both sides possessing a game in hand over all other sides in the top half.
Although Leinster are way out in front at the top of the league, second-placed Glasgow Warriors are within touching distance on 37 points, but there’s also congestion behind, with a cluster of teams queuing up within six points of the Sharks.
The Bulls will be buoyed after their dramatic one-point victory over the Stormers last week, while the Sharks come into this on the back of a convincing win over Cardiff. The last time these sides met, at Sharks’ home back in December, it was the Sharks who came out on top by 20 points to 17.
