01 January 2026
17:00 Dragons v Scarlets (Rodney Parade)
Scarlets 60 %
Scarlets have slightly superior form/history, especially in head-to-heads; away trip makes margin moderate.
19:30 Ospreys v Cardiff (Dunraven Brewery Field)
Ospreys 60 %
Ospreys tend to be more consistent this season; Cardiff home helps, but not enough to tilt fully.
02 January 2026
21:45 Ulster v Munster (Ulster Rugby Stadium)
Munster 55 %
Very close interprovincial clash; I lean Munster just due to squad depth, but the edge is small.
26 December 2025

Cardiff 65 %
Cardiff have home ground advantage and are generally rated stronger.
19:30 Scarlets v Ospreys (Parc Y Scarlets)
Scarlets 55 %
Scarlets are marginal favourites at home, though Ospreys have upset potential.

Cardiff 60 %
Local Welsh derby; Cardiff get slight edge at home.
21:45 Leinster v Ulster (TBC)

A classic interprovincial—Leinster’s home strength and squad depth push them ahead.
09 May 2026
13:45 Vodacom Bulls v Zebre Parma (Loftus Versfeld Stadium)
Bulls 85 %
One of the safer bets — Bulls much stronger and Zebre among the weaker sides.
