The URC makes it’s return in 2026, starting with a glorious round of local derbies and Keo has picked his six-leg accumulator for round 9.
Four heavyweight derbies form the foundation of this accumulator and all six home sides have shown they deserve the tags of favourites.

The picks this week are straightforward and we have confidence that they will deliver at home. There is little reason in backing travelling sides in local derbies, especially when the four hosts enter the round in greater form.

Ulster host Munster, who head to Belfast on the back of a defeat in round 8, while Leinster should have no problem sweeping aside Connacht in Dublin.
The unbeaten Stormers face a demoralised Bulls in Cape Town, while the Lions head to Durban to meet the Sharks, who have shown promise under the leadership of JP Pietersen.
An in-form Benetton host Edinburgh in Treviso and the accumulator ends off with Franco Smith’s Glasgow Warriors challenging Zebre in Glasgow.
