Munster 1/80
Draw 70/1
Zebre 20/1
Verdict
Given Zebre’s poor performance in the tournament thus far and Munster’s home ground advantage, it is likely that Munster will secure a comfortable win this weekend and although the handicap is high I am expecting the home team to make a statement.
Suggested Bet: Handicap Munster (-26.5) at 17/20
