Ulster v Cardiff, 7:35pm Friday
Been a tough month travelling for Ulster and hopefully they haven’t picked up too many injuries. This should have been an easy home win but after trips to South Africa and France I’d think Ulster would be delighted win a one point win. Cardiff +14 looks big.
Starting team news for Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster Rugby
Lions v Leinster, 2pm Saturday
This should be a cracking game, no doubt Leinster rest 10/12 players, but they have a second team that can compete. Lions have so much talent it’s just strange they aren’t top 8. A big mistake by either side will probably decide the winner.
Lions +6 looks a little high.
Bulls v Munster, 4:05pm Saturday
The South African side have made it clear winning the URC is their main goal and they will be nearly full strength this week. Munster may be very happy with an open game and getting a four try BP as they have a horrible run in of games to secure a home quarter-final.
I’d expect Bulls to win by 15+ in a very high scoring game.
Connacht v Zebre, 7:35pm Saturday
Another Irish side who have done a lot of travelling, I’d expect to see a good few players that are fresh and looking to prove something. IMO Connacht will be far more focused this week. Nothing less than BP win will suffice and lucky for Connacht they are playing a team that haven’t won away for years. If we see a repeat of the 2018 game id imagine we might see the same consequences.
Connacht to win by 20pts +
