Fans will flock to a sold-out Loftus Versfeld for one of the biggest crowds ever seen at a URC Grand Final when the Bulls host Glasgow Warriors on Saturday.
Having earned home advantage for the all-important title decider, Jake White’s Bulls are counting on every supporter to show their colours and make their voices heard in what promises to be a memorable occasion among 51,000 people.

All general sale tickets have been snapped up for the match, and with kick-off at 18:00 the party at Loftus Versfeld promises to be an all-day affair with fan parks broadcasting the Wales versus South Africa test match from London at 15:30.
It will be the first the Bulls have hosted a major international final since their victory over the Chiefs in 2009 when they won the Super Rugby title.
This will be the Bulls’ second appearance in a URC Grand Final after contesting the game against the Stormers in 2022 where they lost by just three points.
A victory for the men from Pretoria will have extra significance for South African rugby as it will rubberstamp the country’s status as one of the top in the world following the Springboks’ second Rugby World Cup victory in a row in France last year and the Sharks’ victory in the Challenge Cup last month where they overcame Gloucester 36-22 to become the first SA team to win a European title.
The Bulls will enter Saturday’s clash as favourites with home-ground advantage but will undoubtedly expect an epic battle as both teams have won 15 matches apiece this season.
Fortunately for Jake White’s men, they will enter the match with good momentum after winning their last two playoff matches against Benetton and Leinster at home respectively.
