AI Grote: Bulls 26 – 30 Bordeaux

Rugby4Cast: Bordeaux 58%
Home advantage and their physical pack should dominate the collision zones. Bordeaux-Bègles are dangerous in broken play, but the Bulls’ defence and forward dominance give them the edge in set piece and territory.
15:00 Saracens v Clermont Auvergne (StoneX Stadium)
AI Grote: Saracens 27 – 19 Clermont
Rob (OuGrote): Saracens by 5
James (OuGrote): Saracens by 3
Rugby4Cast: Saracens 67%
Saracens’ strong set-piece and tactical kicking should give them control at home. Clermont will push hard but may struggle against Saracens’ defensive structure and game management under pressure.
22:00 Bayonne v Stormers (Stade Jean Dauger)
AI Grote: Stormers 27 – 22 Bayonne
Rob (OuGrote): Stormers by 5
James (OuGrote): Stormers by 7
Rugby4Cast: Stormers 52%
Stormers arrive with a bolstered forward pack and recent strong form, giving them set-piece edge and disciplined defence. Bayonne will fight hard at home, but Stormers’ cohesion and South African physicality should carry them to another controlled away win.
