The Sharks v Ulster and Lions v Glasgow Warriors fixtures were postponed due to severe gastroenteritis outbreaks in the travelling team's squads.

The rearranged games will take place on Saturday, 25 February. The Sharks will host Ulster in Durban at 14:00, before the Lions welcome Glasgow in Johannesburg at 16:10.

"The league would also like to thank all teams and broadcasters involved for their patience and understanding in this situation," A URC statement read.
