United Rugby Championship: Round 18 Predictions

It’s a busy weekend of Rugby, but some of these URC fixtures are worth getting excited about - particularly the Bulls against Munster in Pretoria.

Here are my United Rugby Championship predictions for this weekend.



Sharks v Scarlets

This should be a fairly comfortable home win, with the visitors travelling without their Welsh internationals and it’s a strong Sharks side. Sharks by 16

Bulls v Munster

The Irish won’t be at full-strength with Ireland playing England on the same day, but this is still a fixture that we should relish. In time, a visit to Pretoria should surpass Dublin as the toughest away trip in the league, and I’ll be backing the home team here. Bulls by 9

Ulster v Leinster

It’s a good time to play Leinster, whilst the internationals are absent, and having won the away fixture back in November, I’m predicting that Ulster do the double. Ulster by 4

Lions v Cardiff

Cardiff have struggled away from home this season, and at altitude in Johannesburg is a long way from the Arms Park. Lions by 9

Stormers v Zebre

Zebre picked up their first league point last weekend, losing by only 5 points at the Ospreys. I don’t think they’ll come away with anything from Cape Town. Stormers by 28

I'm a small Sharks supporter. More of a basking shark, than a great white. 11 Mar 16:59
