Remember that wonderful competition called the Vodacom United Rugby Championship! Yes, we missed it, too. After a month-long hiatus while the Autumn Nations Series unfolded across the battlefields of Europe, the world’s best club rugby competition is back. For some outfits, the break came at just the right time, while for others, it was a possible momentum killer. Predicting the winners this weekend will prove slightly difficult as EVERY team will struggle for rhythm after having kept the gunpowder dry for quite a while. There will be upsets in a fair few encounters despite what the bookies and form guide tell us.
