Ulster vs Leinster
Ulster take on Leinster in the first of the URC fixtures after the international break. The home side are currently in 7th spot with 16 points while the visitors are sitting pretty at the top of the table with 29 points. Leinster are the only unbeaten team in the competition, having won a magnificent six out of six. Ulster have won three and lost three but are unbeaten on their home patch. The home side will be missing a few players due to Ireland playing this weekend as well. The visitors have the same problem with more than half their squad also on national duty although they have a wealth of depth in their sheds.
TIP: The depth of both teams will be severely tested although the visitors have plenty of able replacements for their regular stars. Ulster will be relying heavily on the support of the Kingspan faithful as they have carried them to through hard-fought home wins. The likes of overseas pros Werner Kok and Aiden Morgan will be tasked with keeping their team on the front foot against a Leinster team that have been miserly in defence. The bookies have Leinster as favorites but I am backing Ulster for the upset win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Tictacbets 2.55, Soccershop 2.55 and Bettabets 2.55

PREDICTION
The man that will have a lot to prove for Leinster is Ross Byrne as his fall from the top has been alarming. Not too long ago he was touted as being the successor to the great Jonny Sexton in the national team but recently he has struggled to be the starting flyhalf for Leinster. His battle with opposite number Morgan will be one of the highlights of the match. If the Ulster pack can at least get parity in the forwards exchanges then they have the personnel in the backline to cause an upset. I am going for a narrow Ulster win by four 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.
