Bulls bulldoze Sharks for final spot
The Vodacom Bulls booked their place in a second successive URC final after surviving three yellow cards to beat the Sharks at Loftus Versfeld last night. Jake White's charges, beaten in last season's decider by Glasgow, triumphed 25-13 in Pretoria and will face Leinster at Croke Park next week, after the Irish giants dethroned the Warriors 37-19 in Dublin earlier yesterday. The Bulls dominated the scrum battle and scoreboard, leading 15-3 despite ending the first half with 13 men. Man of the Match Sebastian de Klerk opened the scoring after Embrose Papier's electric break from just over the halfway line, with flyhalf Johan Goosen converting on his injury comeback. RECAP: Leinster to host URC final Papier hits the gas and sets up Sebastian de Klerk who finishes off in brilliant fashion! @Vodacom #URC | #BULvSHA — vodacomrugby (@VodacomRugga) June 7, 2025 Canan Moodie extended the home side's advantage through De Klerk's pinpoint cross-kick, catching fellow Springbok speedster Makazole Mapimpi napping out wide before going over in the corner. Flyhalf Jordan Hendrikse's solitary penalty provided the Sharks' response after missing two attempts. The Bulls' discipline crumbled inside the second quarter as centre Harold Venter, No 8 Cameron Hanekom and flanker Marcell Coetzee all saw yellow. However, the hosts' defence held firm twice near their tryline as the Sharks pressed before the break. Mapimpi struck first for the visitors after the restart, exploiting a two-man overlap to go over the whitewash out wide before Hendrikse again missed the conversion. Winger Ethan Hooker's ninth try of the campaign brought the Sharks within two points, but replacement Keagan Johannes steadied Bulls nerves with a crucial penalty. He missed his second attempt before midfielder David Kriel capped off a scintillating move ignited by Papier and lock Cobus Wiese. Johannes converted to complete the scoring that ultimately secured the Bulls' third appearance in the URC showpiece in four seasons, as well as exact revenge for two league-stage defeats to the Sharks in 2024-25. However, White will be sweating over the availability of Hanekom, the URC's Next-Gen Player winner departing in the 49th minute via a golf cart after going down clutching his hamstring.

Le Creuset just relaunched this iconic color — but for a limited time only
When it comes to cookware, Le Creuset is a brand that needs no introduction. Famous for its cast iron cookware, the brand makes some of our favorite Dutch ovens, serving dishes and more. This Valentine's season, Le Creuset is opening its vault and relaunching its berry colorway, an ombré fusion of light, blush pink and bright rose that's been unavailable for almost six years. Below, I gathered the three Le Creuset styles that are in stock and sport the iconic color (the berry heart cocotte is currently out of stock). Keep in mind that the berry colorway is only available for as long as supplies last, and pieces are selling fast, so be sure to snag yours while you still can. Le Creuset Berry Signature Round Dutch Oven You can now grab the brand's most popular products, the Signature Round Dutch Oven, in the limited-edition Berry color. Le Creuset's Signature Dutch Ovens are made from enameled cast iron that evenly distributes and retains heat, according to the brand. It's resistant to dulling, stains, chipping and cracking, and comes with a lid that's designed to help circulate steam, according to Le Creuset. NBC Select SEO editor Nikki Brown loves the brand's Dutch ovens because of how well they've held up over the years and how easy they are to clean. You can either hand wash it or put it in the dishwasher. Similarly to the round oven, this oven from Le Creuset is perfect for slow cooking, roasting, baking and more. The porcelain-enamel interior makes it easy to clean and minimizes sticking, plus it's lightweight and easy to carry, according to Le Creuset. The oval shape is also especially great for cooking larger cuts of meats or baking loaves of bread. This braiser is also made from the brand's signature enameled cast iron and has a wide base that lets you add plenty of ingredients without overcrowding. The wide shape makes it great for cooking one-pot meals, shallow frying and even serving. It includes a domed lid that helps to lock in steam and moisture, plus the braiser is dishwasher-safe. Why trust NBC Select? I am an associate SEO reporter at NBC Select who covers news, deals, and sales, including recent stories on the best sales this week and ongoing sales from Papier and Patagonia. For this piece, I researched and reported on the limited edition relaunch of Le Creuset's Berry colorway.
