It’s an exciting weekend of rugby ahead, and Oliver Keohane tips a few bets he’ll be making across the various leagues.
Stormers outright at 2.30
I’m all over these odds, in the belief that the Sharks, who rolled over to the Bulls at loftus last weekend (43-9), simply won’t have the physical presence to match a Stormers pack with so much firepower. I still think it will be a tight game though, and if you want to take a safer route, the Stormers at +2.5 isn’t a bad shout.

Toulouse & Montpellier Multi at 3.52
With Cheslin Kolbe leading Toulouse’s European charge, I see them emerging easy European Cup champions against La Rochelle at Twickenham on Friday night. Alone, the odds of 1.62 aren’t too appealing, but combined with 2.17 on a South African-star-studded Montpellier to topple Leicester Tigers in the European Challenge Cup, you can get some decent return on your money. While the Tigers will have home ground comfort, I can’t look past the quality of Handre Pollard, Jan Serfontein, Johan Goosen, Paul Willemse, Bismarck du Plessis and Jaqcues du Plessis, who will all be influential for the French side.
