URC Tips – URC March 13th & 14th 2026 Predictions & Betting Tips

As the Six Nations begins to draw to a close in the Northern Hemisphere, catching up for lost games on the schedule is the key objective for sides in the URC this weekend.

The all-South African clash of the Bulls vs Stormers catches the eye for most, with no love lost between the two rivals and plenty at stake in Pretoria.

Elsewhere, Edinburgh will be looking to ride the crest of a wave currently enjoyed by the Scottish national team, as they take on Ulster, while the Scarlets have a tricky looking trip across the Irish Sea to Connacht on their agenda.

All three games should present plenty of betting opportunities and this should be another bumper round of URC fixtures: 

Here is a look at some of our top tips for all three URC matches on the weekend of 13/14th March:

URC March 13th & 14th Predictions

Friday 13/3/26

19:45 - Edinburgh vs Ulster @ Murrayfield

Betting Tip: Under 34.5 total match points @ 2.25

Both Edinburgh and Ulster should be rather depleted for this one, with Six Nations commitments sure to be the priority for both sides and it could play a part in the outcome.

Edinburgh have managed just four wins this season in the URC, but they never get beat by many points and actually have a positive points difference.

Ulster meanwhile continue to be a real force but their consistency in terms of results has been lacking this term, particularly away from home.

Momentum could be with Edinburgh for this one and they could sneak a decent win at Murrayfield.

Score Prediction: Edinburgh 18 – 12 Ulster

19:45 - Connacht vs Scarlets @ Dexcom Stadium

Betting Tip: Connacht -9.5 @ 1.95

Two teams in desperate need of a win meet here in Galway, as Connacht welcome Scarlets, in what should be a frenetic Friday night encounter.

Connacht will be hit with absentees to the Irish side in the Six Nations but with just four wins under their belt in the URC, they will be disappointed with the current league standing.

Scarlets in a similar vein have struggled all season and find themselves down in 15th, having picked up some hefty losses this term.

They too will have big names with the Welsh contingent this weekend and with home fans backing them, Connacht can’t be looked past in this one.

Score Prediction: Connacht 36 – 10 Scarlets

Saturday 14/3/26

13:00 - Bulls vs Stormers @ Loftus Versfeld Stadium

Betting Tip: Bulls by 1-7 points @ 3.25

It has been a disastrous start to 2026 for the Stormers, who have seen their unbeaten record at the top of the URC disappear and things shouldn’t get much easier here against the Bulls.

By contrast, everything has fallen into place for the Bulls of late, who appear to be playing with confidence and purpose, and they look to be in a decent position to push on for a playoff spot.

Despite their recent struggles, the Stormers are a very dangerous outfit, who can come good at any stage, but they look to be in a funk at the moment, and the Bulls could exploit that.

Score Prediction: Bulls 35-30 Stormers
