AI Grote: Saracens 27 – 19 Clermont
Rob (OuGrote): Saracens by 5
James (OuGrote): Saracens by 3

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.
