Key Players

James Lowe– Leinster

James Lowe could be key for Leinster this weekend due to his explosive attacking ability, demonstrated by his prolific try-scoring record (61 tries in 86 appearances) and knack for breaking defensive lines with pace and vision.

He performed solidly last time out against Scarlets capping off his efforts with a try.  He is 8/1 to score the first try and can be gotten at 6/5 to score at any point.

George Horn – Glasgow Warriors

George Horne could be pivotal for Glasgow Warriors this weekend due to his exceptional try-scoring ability evidenced by his record-breaking 55 tries for the club in part from his quick decision-making and support lines creating attacking opportunities.

If you fancy him to score the first try he can be gotten at odds of 14/1 or odds of 9/4 to score at any point in the game.

Leinster v Glasgow Warriors Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Leinster 33-10 Glasgow Warriors

Leinster have been the standout side in the URC this season and are heavy favourites for this game with good reason.

Glasgow Warriors are no slouches but will need their best performance of the season to challenge in this game.

I fancy the home side to win here comfortably.

Best Bet: Leinster to win both halves by 8+ points – 3/1
