URC Rankings

Some people downplayed the URC teams, following South Africa's success last year. 
Leinster had a bad season, and Munster is currently not as good as it used to be.

However, this season, Leinster are cruising. And let's remember that they did win the pool phase last year, but delivered a shock upset loss in their home semi last year.

Playing in South Africa during summer must have been difficult for the Northern Hemisphere teams.

Also, now South Africa has to play in both competitions so they cant always field their 1st choice teams
