2024 URC season | 23rd season of the professional rugby union competition known as the United Rugby Championship
Saturday, October 21st 2023 – Saturday, June 22nd, 2024
Leinster
Leinster have been one of the most dominant teams in recent history in the United Rugby Championship, with the Irish side having won eight championships since the start of the 2001-02 season. They have also finished as the runners-up on five previous occasions. Their recent dominance in the tournament is also evident based on the fact that they have been crowned champions on four occasions since 2017.
Leinster have been consistent throughout the season to this point, and they will have the opportunity to add further silverware in the European Rugby Champions Cup before the knockout stage of the domestic competition gets underway. In the United Rugby Championship, they have won 12 of their 17 matches, and they look set to finish third in the overall standings.

Blue Bulls
The Blue Bulls have enjoyed an excellent season in the United Rugby Championship this season, and they are already on course to achieve their best finish in the competition. They have competed in the United Rugby Championship since 2021-22 and have been consistent in the playoffs. In their first season, they were beaten in the final, while last season, they reached the quarterfinal stage.
The Bulls look on course for a solid finish in the regular season this term, and they could yet end the campaign at the top of the standings. They come into the final round of the season sitting second, but they are just two points below Munster with a showdown against the Sharks to come in their final fixture of the season.

Munster (+600)
There is certainly value in the betting when it comes to siding with the reigning champions. Munster are current priced up at +600 to win the United Rugby Championship this year after ending last term as champions following a Grand Final success over the Stormers. That was their fourth league championship, and their first since the 2010-11 season.
However, they have excellent experience at the latter stages of the tournament, having contested four Grand Finals since 2014-15. This season, they have been very consistent throughout the regular season after winning 12 of their 17 matches, and losing on a league-low of just four occasions.

United Rugby Championship Final Betting Pick to Win
Leinster have strong characters when it comes to the end of the season, but Munster could be the value play. The defending champions have been challenging to beat throughout the season, and they have allowed a league-low of 294 points so far. We could see them retaining their United Rugby Championship.

Best Rugby Odds for this Week: English Premiership, United Championship Must Bet Games
Previous Betting News
After an exciting month of North vs. South encounters, the international rugby window has closed for the holiday season.
However, there is still plenty of rugby action unfolding this weekend, with the Top 14 and Premiership Rugby and United Rugby Championship in Europe, as well as the Dubai Sevens Series kicking off.
We look at the best matches from each of these competitions, and preview the Rugby Odds for the best bets to make on these.
Weekly Rundown of the Top Rugby Games to Must Bet On | November 30th Edition
Leinster vs Ulster (United Rugby Championship, Saturday, 3 December, 2:35 PM EST)
After eight rounds of the United Rugby Championship, two teams sit atop of the table—and they both come from the Irish conference.
Leinster and Ulster are on 38 and 30 points, respectively, with Leinster unbeaten across eight games and Ulster suffering just the one loss from their seven matches. These two Irish heavyweights come head-to-head in a top-of-the-table clash this weekend, in what should be a spectacular match.
Leinster are favored to retain their unbeaten status and further cement their No.1 spot on the ladder, with odds of -500 to win, well ahead of Ulster’s +350.
Gloucester vs. Northampton (Gallagher Premiership, Saturday, 3 December, 2:30 PM EST)
Over in Premiership Rugby, a mouth-watering clash between No.4 ranked Northampton, and No.7 Gloucester looms.
Gloucester are playing in front of a home crowd, and come into this one off a tight loss to No.3 ranked Harlequins last weekend, 21-12. To date across the season, Gloucester are 4-4, and would dearly like to improve to 5-4 and solidify their grip on a playoff spot heading into the back end of the season.
Northampton on the other hand, are coming off an impressive win over the Barbarians last weekend, where they were 45-39 victors. They’ll be eager to carry on that momentum into Premiership Rugby and improve their record to 5-5 for the season.
Odds for this one are tight, with Gloucester -200 favorites despite their lower position on the table and recent loss. Northampton aren’t far behind however, with odds of +160.
Dubai Sevens (Friday, 2 December to Sunday, 4 December)
If 15-a-side rugby isn’t your flavor, then there’s also a packed weekend of Sevens rugby to look forward to with the HSBC World Sevens Series heading to Dubai this weekend.
Odds for this tournament aren’t out yet, and there are plenty of exciting fixtures that are yet to be decided for the later stages of the event. However, looking at the pool play, three matches stand out as being must-watches already.
Argentina vs. New Zealand
South Africa vs. Great Britain
Australia vs. Kenya
All of these matches occur early on Friday, and should be highly competitive affairs. Argentina are going from strength to strength recently, while New Zealand are always in the running for the title. The recently combined Great Britain team is an exciting prospect, as is the thought of a Kenya upset over Australia.
