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.

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.
