Rugby4Cast: Leinster 70%
Leinster’s depth and European experience should pay off under pressure. At home, Tigers will fight hard and ruck like beasts, but Leinster’s composure, tactical kicking and superior discipline — especially at the breakdown — should edge the game in their favour.
19:30 Bristol Bears v Section Paloise (Ashton Gate)
AI Grote: Bristol Bears 30 – 16 Section Paloise
Rob (OuGrote): Bristol by 14
James (OuGrote): Bristol by 11
Rugby4Cast: Bristol 80%
At Ashton Gate, Bristol’s high-tempo, ball-in-hand style should overwhelm Section Paloise. Paloise bring grit and set-piece strength, but they typically struggle defensively against teams that play expansively. Bristol’s creativity, home advantage, and superior backline cohesion point to a confident, multi-try victory.
17:15 Northampton Saints v Bulls (Cinch Stadium)
AI Grote: Northampton Saints 31 – 18 Bulls
Rob (OuGrote): Northampton Saints by 5
James (OuGrote): Northampton Saints by 7
Rugby4Cast: Northampton Saints 81%
This one should be a thriller. Saints’ fast, expansive style at Franklin’s Gardens — combined with their strong attacking shapes and home momentum — gives them a slight edge. The Bulls’ power game and maul will cause real problems, but Saints’ tempo and accuracy in the wide channels should be just enough to clinch a tight win.

AI Grote: Toulon 29 – 24 Bath
Rob (OuGrote): Toulon by 5
James (OuGrote): Toulon by 7
Rugby4Cast: Toulon 63%
Bath bring form and confidence, but Toulon at the Stade Mayol are a different beast — physical, confrontational, and backed by one of Europe’s most intense home atmospheres. Bath’s structured attack will challenge Toulon early, yet the hosts’ power game and bench impact should tilt the contest their way late on.

AI Grote: Edinburgh 25 – 23 Castres
Rob (OuGrote): Edinburgh by 3
James (OuGrote): Edinburgh by 5
Rugby4Cast: Edinburgh 50%
Castres are typically formidable at home, where their physical pack, strong maul, and territorial discipline tend to dictate the tempo. Edinburgh can threaten with width and smart phase play, but Castres’ home intensity and set-piece edge should be enough to close out a tight, hard-fought match.
15:00 Harlequins v Bayonne (The Stoop)
AI Grote: Harlequins 31 – 15 Bayonne
Rob (OuGrote): Harlequins by 16
James (OuGrote): Harlequins by 12
Rugby4Cast: Harlequins 84%
At the Stoop, Harlequins’ high-tempo attack and offloading game should stretch Bayonne throughout. Bayonne bring physicality and set-piece strength, but Quins’ creativity, home advantage, and superior backline cohesion are likely to produce more scoring moments and secure a comfortable win.
22:00 Glasgow Warriors v Toulouse (Scotstoun Stadium)
AI Grote: Glasgow 18 – 30 Toulouse
Rob (OuGrote): Toulouse by 10
James (OuGrote): Toulouse by 12
Rugby4Cast: Toulouse 71%
Glasgow will bring tempo and ambition at home, but Toulouse’s world-class halfbacks, power in the carry, and ability to punish small errors should prove decisive. Expect an entertaining, high-skill contest, but Toulouse’s depth and finishing quality give them the edge.
