Bulls 65 %

17:00 Dragons v Scarlets (Rodney Parade)
Scarlets 60 %
Scarlets have slightly superior form/history, especially in head-to-heads; away trip makes margin moderate.
19:30 Ospreys v Cardiff (Dunraven Brewery Field)
Ospreys 60 %
Ospreys tend to be more consistent this season; Cardiff home helps, but not enough to tilt fully.
02 January 2026
21:45 Ulster v Munster (Ulster Rugby Stadium)
Munster 55 %
Very close interprovincial clash; I lean Munster just due to squad depth, but the edge is small.
26 December 2025

Cardiff have home ground advantage and are generally rated stronger.
19:30 Scarlets v Ospreys (Parc Y Scarlets)

19 December 2025
21:45 Cardiff v Scarlets (Cardiff Arms Park)
Cardiff 60 %
Local Welsh derby; Cardiff get slight edge at home.
21:45 Leinster v Ulster (TBC)
Leinster 70 %
A classic interprovincial—Leinster’s home strength and squad depth push them ahead.
22:00 Leicester Tigers v Leinster (Welford Road)
AI Grote: Leinster 29 – 17 Leicester
Rob (OuGrote): Leinster by 10
James (OuGrote): Leinster by 12
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.
24 January 2026
17:00 Scarlets v Ulster (Parc Y Scarlets)
Ulster 55 %
Ulster have the stronger squad overall; Scarlets’ home edge narrows it, so I lean Ulster but not massively.
19:30 Connacht v Leinster (Dexcom Stadium)
Leinster 75 %
Leinster are often heavy favourites in these Irish derbies, especially away matches.
19:30 DHL Stormers v Sharks (DHL Stadium)
Stormers 60 %
South African domestic – Stormers’ home strength gives them an edge, though Sharks are dangerous.
21:45 Zebre Parma v Glasgow Warriors (Stadio Lanfranchi)
Glasgow 80 %
Glasgow should dominate this fixture; Zebre are among the weaker sides, especially at home.
21:45 Cardiff v Benetton (Cardiff Arms Park)
Benetton 60 %
Benetton have shown more consistency; Cardiff at home helps, but lean to Benetton.
