In a change to last season’s rules, the teams with the highest seeding in each semi-final will have home venue rights. Previously, the winners of QF1 and QF2 were guaranteed home draws no matter their ranking.

SF1: Leinster (1) / Cell C Sharks (8) v Glasgow Warriors (4) / Munster (5)

SF2: Ulster (2) / Connacht (7) v DHL Stormers (3) / Vodacom Bulls (6)

The semi-final winners will meet on Saturday, May 27, at the venue of the highest-ranked team to have qualified for the BKT United Rugby Championship Grand Final.

The United Rugby Championship would also like to thank all broadcasters involved in the scheduling process for their speedy approach.
