15:00 Saracens v Clermont Auvergne (StoneX Stadium)

AI Grote: Saracens 27 – 19 Clermont
Rob (OuGrote): Saracens by 5
James (OuGrote): Saracens by 3
Rugby4Cast: Saracens 67%

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.

22:00 Sale Sharks v Glasgow Warriors (CorpAcq Stadium)

AI Grote: Sale 24 – 19 Glasgow
Rob (OuGrote): Sale by 5
James (OuGrote):Glasgow by 3
Rugby4Cast: Sale 61%

Glasgow thoroughly out-classed Sale Sharks before (38-19 away in their last Champions Cup meeting). Sale may fight back at home, but the momentum and attacking firepower of Glasgow Warriors looks too strong.

Ladbrokes: Springboks to win (-38 Handicap Betting Odds)
“This game on neutral ground at Wembley should be fairly one-way traffic, with world champions and current world No1s South Africa primed for a comfortable victory. Japan have failed to build on their standout 2019 World Cup campaign in the years since and currently find themselves 13th in the world rankings. To get the best value out of this game, predicting a Springboks victory with a -38 handicap looks like the best shout.”

Ladbrokes: Scotland to beat Argentina
Perhaps the closest game of the weekend takes place on Sunday as Scotland and Argentina go head-to-head at Murrayfield. Scotland were ever so close to beating New Zealand last weekend and will be confident despite the 25-17 loss, which saw the Bravehearts miss out on a host of opportunities to record a win over the All Blacks for the first time in their history. This game could be decided on a knife edge, with 11 victories each in 22 past meetings, but we are going to back the hosts to do just enough against the Pumas.
