Listed here are my predictions for the 2 semi-finals this weekend.
Leinster vs. Glasgow Warriors
Glasgow’s document in opposition to Leinster is poor, with simply two wins of their final 12 conferences and this must be a win for the house aspect. I say ought to as a result of Leinster’s current monitor document on the enterprise finish of tournaments just isn’t good – they’ve usually been the very best group within the league, earlier than blowing it at this stage and they’re but to win the URC title.
Will issues change this yr? You’d must be courageous to guess in opposition to them making the ultimate, and if it’s good to decide an upset, it’s most likely not this sport. Prediction: Leinster by 8
Bulls vs. Sharks
This one appears to be like extra within the stability, and the Sharks received at Loftus as not too long ago as February of this yr. The guests’ document is tough to evaluate, as a result of their group lineup modifications so usually, however they’ll be at full-strength for this one and decided to make the ultimate.
Nevertheless, the Bulls have been the extra constant aspect this season, they usually had been the extra convincing winners of their semi-final, they usually have house benefit, they usually have a greater monitor document on this competitors, and Eben Etzebeth has been dominated out for the Sharks. It must be a cracker, the best way South African derbies was! Prediction: Bulls by 4
