Superbru 6: Club rugby resumes and Women's Six Nations begins!

The Six Nations takes another break before returning for the last two rounds, but there’s a good lineup of Super Rugby Pacific and United Rugby Championship fixtures to look forward to.

Here are my Superbru 6 predictions for the matches I have picked out:



Friday

Glasgow v Munster - United Rugby Championship
Two of the three URC Champions go head-to-head on Friday night, and it looks like most of the international stars in each squad have been given a week off after their Six Nations exertions. It makes it a tough pick, and I suspect the visitors might have the edge with their squad depth. Prediction: Munster by 2

Saturday

Ireland v France - Womens Six Nations
This was the headline fixture in the Men’s tournament in Round 4, and whilst the Women’s teams aren’t quite so evenly-matched, it should still be a great occasion to kick off the tournament. France have been too strong for Ireland in recent meetings, and this is a hurdle to overcome as they try to challenge England for the Championship. An away win looks likely here. Prediction: France by 16

Scarlets v Stormers - United Rugby Championship
The Stormers’ away record has been poor this season, until they beat the Bulls at Loftus at the beginning of this month. They have also never lost to the Scarlets, and with Welsh rugby in disarray, it makes sense to pick the South Africans here. Prediction: Stormers by 6

Bulls v Leinster - United Rugby Championship
Leinster remain unbeaten so far this season, but this is likely to be their toughest test so far. Jacques Nienaber will likely have a second string available given that most of his first-choice players have been on international duty, and that will make the Bulls favourites. I’d love to see full-strength teams going head-to-head in this fixture, and hopefully we’ll get that before too long. Prediction: Bulls by 8

Saracens v Harlequins - Gallagher Premiership
It’s Derby Week in the Gallagher Premiership, and this London derby is being played at Tottenham’s Stadium in the English capital. Whether the England players are thrown straight back into action remains to be seen, but both teams will be desperate to win to push up into the Top 4. The hosts have had the better of this fixture in recent years, and a Sarries win is more likely - they won 52-7 in the equivalent game last year. Prediction: Saracens by 6

Sunday

Bath v Gloucester - Gallagher Premiership
1st plays 3rd in the latest instalment of this West Country Derby, and hosts Bath have won the last 4 in a row - 3 of which were away from home. It’s normally an entertaining game and worth watching, and Bath are not far off cementing their place in the playoffs. Prediction: Bath by 11

I don\'t think Leinster beating the Bulls will be a huge upset. I don\'t think Leinster want to break their 12 game winning streak. They are somewhat poised to go all the way and win the URC. Even with a somewhat weakened touring squad, they will still be very good 21 Mar 03:10

I have Norris to win the Chinese Grand Prix, Manchester City and Chelsea women to draw 2-2, and teh New England Free Jacks to beat Old Glory DC by 6.

I have Leinster to beat the Bulls at Loftus by a substantial margin denying the Bulls any points and for Scarlets to to do the to the Stormers. Sharks to give Zebre a thrashing and Cardiff to beat Lions. All the rest are pretty straight forward.

1 out of 4 wins for the Irish clubs. The fact that Ireland did not win the Six Nations has affected the psyche of all the Irish clubs. Or are they just a little rusty from having a lengthy layoff. What i would love to see is a complete reset on the number of transfers for the first game back after a lengthy period of no games played. Wish list granted? probably not.
