Bulls Seek Redemption, Sharks Aim for History
The Bulls, playing in their second consecutive home semi-final, are hungry for their third final appearance in four seasons. They're determined to right the wrongs of past final defeats and prove their mettle to the home crowd. Meanwhile, the Sharks are aiming to make history by reaching their first-ever URC Grand Final.
Adding spice to the encounter, the Sharks have already defeated the Bulls twice during the league stages this season – once in Durban by a narrow three points and again in Pretoria by ten.

Kolisi Shrugs Off Criticism, Focuses on Bulls
Despite facing scrutiny for their performance this season, Sharks captain Siya Kolisi remains unfazed. He acknowledges the team hasn't always played to its full potential but emphasizes the importance of securing wins. The Sharks, fresh off a dramatic penalty shootout victory against Munster, have proven their resilience and ability to perform under pressure.
"The most important thing is we are winning," Kolisi stated. "We have a lot of confidence [in beating the Bulls]... We have beaten the Bulls three times this season, but we know all of that means nothing and it will be a new fixture this weekend."
