20:45 Cardiff v Edinburgh (Cardiff Arms Park)

Edinburgh’s squad depth may give them the tilt, particularly in an away fixture.

20:45 Munster v Connacht (Thomond Park)

AI Grote: Munster 65%

A classic Irish provincial clash; Munster at home tend to be strong — though Connacht are never pushovers.

18:30 Dragons v Ospreys (Rodney Parade)

AI Grote: Ospreys 60%
Sports4Cast: Ospreys 72%
Ou Grote (Rob): Ospreys by 10
Ou Grote (James): Ospreys by 12

Welsh derby is competitive; Ospreys slightly better form lately, hence a lean to them.

AI Grote: Stormers 70%
Sports4Cast: Stormers 58%
Ou Grote (Rob): Stormers by 5
Ou Grote (James): Stormers by 7

Stormers have historically fared well against Benetton (see head-to-head stats) and are more consistent; Benetton’s home advantage reduces but does not overturn that gap.

Sharks at home are usually strong; Scarlets are capable of surprises, but this fixture leans clearly to the home side.

Ulster’s consistency and touring experience edge them over Lions, though not by a huge margin.
