With the Six Nations wrapped up for the year, all eyes will be back on the United Rugby Championship as Leinster look to continue their terrific unbeaten run. Their next game will be one of their biggest tests yet as they head to South Africa and face third place Bulls. This is everything you need to know about Leinster v Bulls.
Leinster's month began with a strong continuation of their form with a more convincing victory against Cardiff following the shakier one two weeks prior against Ospreys. Leo Cullen will be mindful of fitness as some of his Six Nations stars may be missing in action, but looking at how Leinster have coped so far, it will not be a problem for long.
However, while Leinster are the high-flyers of the league, Bulls will be looking to bounce back after a patchy run of form. With their month starting with defeat against Stormers by narrow margins, the South African side will be one of Leinster's toughest opponents yet, and will certainly make them work to make it 13 out of 13 wins.
