Ou Grote (Rob): Munster by 7
Ou Grote (James): Munster by 5
A classic Irish provincial clash; Munster at home tend to be strong — though Connacht are never pushovers.

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.

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.

Ou Grote (Rob): Sharks by 9
Ou Grote (James): Sharks by 7

Rugby365: Glasgow Warriors by 6
Though Bulls are a heavy force, Glasgow’s Scotstoun fortress + home crowd support gives them a moderate edge. Still a tough match — 60/40 feels about right.
Lions 65%
