SATURDAY
RC Toulonnais v Stormers – Click here to bet
RC Toulonnais are in alarming domestic form heading into this match, winning none of their last five Top 14 outings. They lost 20-36 away to USA Perpignan last weekend and 27-46 at home to Stade Francais Paris the week before. Earlier Top 14 results include a 13-13 draw at Lyon, a 14-34 home loss to Clermont and a 12-32 away defeat to Section Paloise.
The Stormers, by contrast, arrive in good form. They have won three in a row in the URC, beating Edinburgh 33-14 and Dragons 29-21 at home, and picking up an impressive 32-19 away win at the Bulls before that. Their two losses came away at the Lions and Sharks earlier in the season.
Head-to-Head
These sides have met only once in European competition, with Toulonnais winning 24-14 at the Stormers in December 2024.
Betting and Verdict
Toulonnais are 1.53 to win, the draw is at 23.00 and the Stormers are 2.80.
The handicap is Toulonnais -4.5
Given Toulouse’s current domestic crisis and the Stormers’ confidence coming off three straight wins, the visitors look capable of keeping this very tight.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Stormers [+4.5] at 1.87.

Glasgow Warriors v Bulls – Click here to bet
Glasgow Warriors are one of the form teams in European rugby right now, winning four of their last five URC matches. They beat Benetton 31-10 at home last weekend and also recorded wins over Leinster 38-17 and Munster 31-22 at Scotstoun in the weeks before. Their only slip in this run was a 10-15 away loss at Connacht.
The Bulls are also in excellent shape, winning four of their last five in the URC. They beat Munster 34-31 at home last weekend, hammered Cardiff 40-7, and picked up a thumping 52-17 away win at the Lions in January. Their only loss in this stretch was a 19-32 home defeat to the Stormers.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record is evenly split, with Glasgow edging three of the last five meetings. Glasgow won the most recent encounter 21-12 at home in October 2025, and also won 35-21 at Scotstoun in October 2022. The Bulls wins came 26-19 at Glasgow in April 2025 and 40-34 at home in May 2024. At Scotstoun, Glasgow hold the advantage in recent meetings.
Betting and Verdict
Glasgow are 1.25 to win, the draw is at 26.00 and the Bulls are 4.50.
The handicap is Glasgow -9.5.
The Bulls have beaten Glasgow away relatively recently and arrive in strong form. A margin of less than 10 points looks very achievable for the visitors in a game where both sides are going full strength.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Bulls [+9.5] at 1.91.
