​

Kings v Edinburgh - Embra finish their African tour against the vastly improved Kings who've managed score a couple bonus points in recent weeks. Arguably the South African's best shot at a win until the 6 nations with Edinburgh still down key players.

Glasgow v Cardiff - Cardiff scraped their way to contention last week while Glasgow bullied their hapless Welsh cousins. Cardiff might be able to shock their way closer to the Cheetahs but Glasgow will probably show their non-European pedigree. BP away win.

Dragons v Ulster - You know what? Ulster aren't incompetent enough to lose this.

Zebre v Connacht - Zebre with the internationals back will end Connacht's domestic season with a tashty win. The West is sound asleep.

Treviso v Leinster - Treviso v RingLowe. Best of luck Benetton, you're gonna need it!

Munster - Bye week.

Cheetahs v Scarlets - Cheetahs looking deec, Scarlets playing Phillips... South Africa to pull a couple on the Welsh this weekend

How many are expected to be out next week?

Ehm easier to say who will be back. Williams should be ok, O'Donnell might make it. Farrell will be out for 6 weeks. Zebo needs a scan. The rest there's nothing about, just continuing to recover. @munstermuffin any insight?

 

[munstermuffin]

How many are expected to be out next week?

All of them. I'm not doing much this week they're injured and that enough never mind revisiting Walkers HQ

Being honest Zebo, Tyler, Tommy, Williams and Scannell have chance

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Hopefully Toomua will be fit for us, he is a key player.

I actually fancy our chances even after that crap worcester game, shame i can't go.

I think he said on the BBC he will be back. Made the comment during Scotland game coverage

Ulster's response to that challenge:

 

[MacWarrior]

Glasgow v Cardiff - Cardiff scraped their way to contention last week while Glasgow bullied their hapless Welsh cousins. Cardiff might be able to shock their way closer to the Cheetahs but Glasgow will probably show their non-European pedigree. BP away win.

I assume you got this the wrong way around and think this is a home BP win?

Yep!

 

[MikeTheNative]

My take on the Welsh games:

Glasgow v Cardiff - Cardiff's resurgence of form meets it match against Glasgow. Glasgow to get 4 tries Cardiff to get a few but loose by 10 points, my bold prediction - it will be cold.

Dragons v Ulster - Dragons to show why they are 3rd best region in Wales unlike some other boring team and threaten Ulster for 60 minutes at least scoring a try but come undone in the last 20 loosing it. Despite it being the depths of winter Gavin Henson to have a healthy/orange glow.

Cheetahs v Scarlets - Scarlets to be beaten by an improving Cheetahs side, Mike Phillips to start a fight on someone.

Munster v Ospreys - Munster run in many many tries and not concede any. You will question whether the ospreys team is actually made up of pro players or random fans that have made the trip to Thomond Park

 

[CaledonCol]

Interesting to see if Glasgow use the secret weapon on the bench namely Mr Hastings whose Dad and Uncle achieved a degree of success in years gone by and young George Horne a scrummy of incredible potential . Hope so .

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

All matches except Munster vs Ospreys are potentially a genuine contest, which is nice.

Pro14 have taken the audacious step of posting kickoff times all in the same timezone - so you now have more than a 50% chance of guessing right!

Connacht, Leinster and Edinburgh are my away picks, the rest are homers.

Dragons have really dipped but I need to see them win here if my early season prediction of greatness (well, 2nd best Welsh region) isn't to look foolish.

Disagree with Connacht Feel they will be struggling as Zebre gain more confidence as the season progresses .Embra have a strong bench and should getr back onto the winning streak.
