The United Rugby Championship returns for round 13 and here’s everything you need to know including the teams, kick-off times and TV channels.

The headline fixture for the week certainly has to be the Bulls hosting Leinster in Pretoria with Jake White boosted by the return of Springboks rising star Cameron Hanekom.

However, White has taken a gamble at fly-half with scrum-half Keagan Johannes taking over the number 10 jumper with Willie Le Roux moving to his usual spot at full-back.

Leinster have also called on some big guns with RG Snyman returning to his old stomping ground and starting in the second row against his former employers. All Blacks back Jordie Barrett also returns for Leinster as he slips into the number 12 jersey for the clash.

It’s a week of good news on the injury front for several teams as the Ospreys welcome back Wales lock Adam Beard from injury while Josh Macleod returns for the Scarlets.

The Sharks have been boosted by Andre Esterhuizen’s return to fitness while Eben Etzebeth has suffered another setback, this time sustaining a hamstring injury having overcome his concussion concerns.

The Stormers look to get their season back on track and have been dealt a massive boost with both Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu and Damian Willemse named in the matchday 23 to face the Scarlets with the former starting at number 10 and the latter set to feature from the bench.
