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 tend to be more consistent this season; Cardiff home helps, but not enough to tilt fully.

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.

Bulls have the strength, but away in South Africa there’s always room for the hosts to push.

Welsh derby; Ospreys have been more consistent, giving them the lean.

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.

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.

16:30 Zebre Parma v Benetton (Stadio Lanfranchi)
Benetton 75 %
Benetton are clearly stronger—this is one of the safer picks.

17:00 Edinburgh v Glasgow Warriors (Scottish Gas Murrayfield)
Glasgow 65 %
Glasgow’s consistency and deeper squad give them a reasonable away advantage.

19:30 Connacht v Ulster (Dexcom Stadium)
Ulster 60 %
Close match, but Ulster away is risky; I still give Ulster a mild edge.

21:45 Munster v Leinster (Thomond Park)

Irish derby, home advantage matters; Munster slightly preferred but this is tight.

Benetton 75 %
One of the safer picks—Benetton expected to win comfortably.

17:00 Glasgow Warriors v Edinburgh (Hampden Park)
Glasgow 65 %
Glasgow’s form and structure generally favour them, even away or in special venues.

18:00 Sharks v Vodacom Bulls (Kings Park)
Bulls 55 %
Bulls are more consistent, but travel + Kings Park make this tighter, hence only 55%.

19:30 Ospreys v Munster (Dunraven Brewery Field)
Munster 60 %
Munster’s consistency and depth tilt the matchup, though Ospreys can punch back.

21:45 Dragons v Connacht (Rodney Parade)
Connacht 60 %
Connacht more stable side; Dragons home crowd helps, but likely not enough edge.
