URC: Round 6 Predictions
Hutch | Commercial Director
Fri 21 Oct 2022
I managed 7 out of 8 correct picks last weekend, with only the Stormers draw costing me a GSP. Munster beating the Bulls and Ulster winning against the Lions were the two that tripped most people up.
Some more tricky picks are coming up. Here are my
URC predictions for Round 6.
Benetton v Bulls
The Italians are unbeaten at home, and the Bulls have not managed to win outside South Africa yet. It’s not an easy pick, but the Bulls have more quality in their squad.
Bulls by 6Connacht v Scarlets
This should be a home win, given that Connacht have beaten Munster in Galway this season, and Scarlets’ only win was against Zebre.
Connacht by 13Zebre v Edinburgh
The Scots thrashed the other Italian side last weekend, but with the benefit of home advantage. They should still be too good for Zebre here though.
Edinburgh by 18Lions v Glasgow
The Lions were beaten at home last weekend, but only just, and Ulster are usually more of a threat than Glasgow.
Lions by 9Sharks v Ulster
Can the Irish make it two wins from two in South Africa? The Sharks will be a bigger challenge, and I’m expecting a narrow home victory here.
Sharks by 4Leinster v Munster
This looks like it’s only going one way, with the home side clear favourites.
Leinster by 13Cardiff v Stormers
I think the South Africans were scuppered by the weather last week, and they should be able to perform better in Cardiff and come away with the win.
Stormers by 11Dragons v Ospreys
The Dragons will be eyeing up a victory here, but they still aren’t good enough for me to pick them for a win.

BULLPRET17,195 caps
Unlimited transfers for this round will be fair. I have 7 players from the 4 teams and have to replace them due to other players also not selected for this week by their clubs
So it is pointless planning ahead - you just get punished
I have six starting players thanks to sore little tummies by scared touring teams
