What to Watch in Round 1
-
Stormers vs Leinster is the marquee opener — defending champions Leinster travel to Cape Town for a tough assignment.
-
Ulster vs Dragons and Glasgow vs Sharks will test match fitness and early-season combinations.
-
Bulls vs Ospreys should be a physical contest in Pretoria.
-
Zebre Parma vs Edinburgh offers room for attacking flair and for teams to find rhythm early.
-
Scarlets vs Munster in Wales is always lively; expect attacking intent.
-
Cardiff vs Lions and Connacht vs Benetton round off the Saturday matches, with both fixtures likely to be tightly fought.
