URC Predictions: Round 4

Hutch | Commercial Director

Fri 10 Nov 2023

I had another week with 7 out of 8 last weekend, and the GSP continues to elude me, but I’m into the top 1000 on the global leaderboard.

I think GSPs will be hard to come by this weekend, with several difficult picks to make.

Here are my picks for Round 4 of the United Rugby Championship.

I’m backing the Sharks, Bulls and Stormers to win on the road, but none of their assignments will be easy - particularly the Stormers.

The other very difficult one is the Irish derby, where I’ve gone with home advantage for Ulster to beat the defending champions at Ravenhill.

How do your picks compare?

Agree mostly but I'm going to give the Lions an upset, all 3 games they only just lost and scarlets aren't wonderful. So 6 out of 8 away games for me LOL!!!

I agree with your picks, Hutch. The Bulls, however, will lose by a much bigger margin (more than 12)

Within 5 or 6 of my picks, same winners apart from me picking a quite cohesive Benetton (most of the national team!) to nick it against an out of sorts Stormers. Hedging a bit with 2-3 pts to get the losing margin. Primarily because I know it REALLY annoys those Brus that think getting the winner wrong should mean NO points. But then it would be like the Football, by making low margins less rewarded.

I'm very much one of them, hate it that you get half a point for picking the wrong team out of 2 choices. 10 Nov 15:09
