Ulster vs Stormers Predictions

Surprisingly, the Stormers go into this match as favourites against Ulster. Considering the performances of the Stormers, particularly in conditions that are cold and wet, I am leaning towards an Ulster win on this occasion.

Head to Head

When these two met last season, the Stormers won 13-7 in Cape Town.

Ulster Form

With five matches left to play, Ulster are placed ninth on the table, one place below their opponents who also hold the final playoff spot. Of their 13 games, Ulster have won six and lost seven.

Over the course of the season, Ulster’s results have not been what would have been expected of them. They have been very inconsistent in all competitions, but as we come towards the backend of the season, they will want to gain some momentum.

After losing to Zebre and Benetton away in late January and mid-February, Ulster bounced back to beat the Scarlets at the start of March. Last weekend, while not convincing, Ulster defeated bottom-of-the-table Dragons 34-30 away from home.

Ulster should have more of their Irish internationals back for this encounter. At home they will not want to drop anymore points, so I do expect a strong outfit to be announced.

Stormers Form

Much like their opponents, the Stormers have not shown the quality this season that they have in previous ones. They are currently eight with six wins and seven losses, an identical record to Ulster.

After three successive URC defeats to Leinster, the Bulls and Lions, the Stormers have won their last two. John Dobson’s side beat the Bulls 19-16 at Loftus at the start of March and then beat Scarlets 29-17 this past weekend in Wales.

Dobson may look to freshen things up for this game despite a good performance last weekend. The big concern for the coach will be the inability of the Stormers to match teams in the set piece this season.
