URC: Round 9 Predictions

Round 9 of the URC is another round of derbies since we're still in the festive period, but it's a slightly unusual one on Superbru since the standalone Lions fixtures later in January are also included.

The schedule is therefore particularly important to keep in mind if you're playing our Fantasy game, as the round won't be complete until late January and both the Lions and the Sharks have a 'double gameweek' with two fixtures in Round 9.

Focusing on just this weekend's games for now, here are my picks for Round 9 of the United Rugby Championship.



I'll add some predictions for the final two matches nearer to each kick-off in the comments as it makes sense to wait and see how the Sharks get on in Cape Town first!

How do these compare to your own picks?
