The South Africa Rugby derbies that were postponed in Round 1 of the United Rugby Championship schedule have new times and dates.

The four URC South Africa Rugby Union teams didn’t play in Round 1 because of the Currie Cup which has put those important derby games in limbo. But the URC corrected that Nov.4 with the Round 1 games finally getting dates in February and March. 

One of those games will be the North-South Derby between the DHL Stormers and Vodacom Bulls, one of the best rugby rivalries in the world. The other derby is the Hollywoodbets Sharks and Emirates Lions. 

Here’s what to know about the updated URC schedule:
