Munster vs Glasgow
Munster take on Glasgow in this exciting URC encounter at Thomond Park. The visitors have made a terrific start to the season and are currently top of the log. They have already beaten Leinster and the Stormers this season so they will be no pushovers although four of their six matches have been at home. Munster will be looking to bounce back from their 21-16 loss to Leinster in their last match. The home side have made a patchy start to the defence of their crown, winning just twice in their last five matches. Munster have however won their three home matches this season.
TIP: Glasgow have looked explosive under head coach Franco Smith who has built a reputation on running rugby. Munster on the other hand have looked disappointing in attack and will be looking to Jack Crowley to get his backline operating at a better level. The match is likely to be decided in the forwards and Munster seem to have the edge in this department with the likes of Peter O’Mahony and Tadhg Beirne. The bookies have Munster as favorites and I’m also tipping them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Betway 1.25, Gbets 1.25 and Hollywoodbets 1.25

PREDICTION
Glasgow have not been afraid to throw the ball around and have scored some sensational tries but their biggest weapon is their rolling maul. Munster have an excellent maul defence and it will need to be at its best if they are to stop George Turner and company. The home side have been miserly in defence but will be looking to be more an attacking threat in this match. One player that needs a big game is Gavin Coombes as he was completely outplayed by his opposite number in the last match. If he can make meters for Munster then they will win this match. I am predicting a home win by more than 10 points.

Sports crazy fan that follows all major sport but the game with the oval ball is my real passion. Was an age level rugby coach and a huge supporter of the Springboks and diehard Liverpool man. I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
