Unfortunately on a transatlantic flight at match time but home for final. Which hopefully won't be in the bloody RDS

Where is the final going to be? It feels like they are making it up as they go along.
I have my own tv channel, what have you got?

Dublin (if leinster win), Belfast (if Ulster win), Cape Town (if the 2 Saffer sides win).

Is that right?

Do the bulls not get a home final if they beat leinster? And become top seed?

Semi-final 1 (SF1) - the winner of QF1 versus the winner of QF4. The winner of QF1 will be the ‘home’ Club unless Pro Rugby Championship determines otherwise.

Semi-final 2 (SF2) - the winner of QF2 versus the winner of QF3. The winner of QF2 will be the ‘home’ Club unless Pro Rugby Championship determines otherwise.

The winners of the semi-finals will proceed to the Final Match. The Final Match will be knock-out, played over one Match, at a venue designated by Pro Rugby Championship.
From the URC website. My educated take is that it's a lottery.

I think that was the case for the QF's to Semi finals but that it reverts to highest regular season finish for the final. That would make sense for a URC comp by making things confusing and overcomplicated at every opportunity.

I think the URC are waiting to announce that the final will be in Saudi Arabia.

G Mac will be donning the shirt and kissing the badge this weekend then in the hope of a call up.

They are indeed making it up as they go along.
After publishing the semi-final criteria at the beginning of the season, they changed it in April, only to apparently change it back again once the participants became known.

From the same statement in April -
The 2022 United Rugby Championship Grand Final shall take place at the home venue of the highest-ranked team where the first-ever URC champions will be crowned.

The final assuming leinster are in it, is bound to be in Dublin. If the are against stormers, it will be in the Or Ds. If its against us they might move to aviva.

The pie in the sky scenario is If bulls put leinster out and we get through, in which case there's a chance of us having home advantage.

I would assume big house, errigle .,.
But at Belfast prices - it'd be cheaper to watch in Capetown
