PREVIEW |
Crusaders Vs
Reds |
The Crusaders are in very good form at present. The Reds have improved but expect the CRUSADERS to WIN |
Brumbies Vs
Bulls |
The Brumbies have disappointed. They need to get a decent run of wins to make it to the playoffs. The Bulls are the most improved side at present. Should be a tight contest. BRUMBIES to WIN narrowly |
| Sunwolves Vs Force |
Sunwolves are still adapting to Suiper Rugby. They might have to wait another week or so for their second win. FORCE to WIN |
Chiefs Vs
Highlanders |
This should be a closely contest match. The Chiefs have been more consistent. Home advantage should favour a CHIEF narrow WIN. |
Waratahs Vs
Cheetahs |
The Waratahs would be boosted by their surprise win against the Stormers last week at Newlands. They should be too strong for the Cheetahs at home. WARATAHS to win by about 20 points. |
Sharks
Vs
Hurricanes |
The Hurricanes gave a superb performance against a poor Lions teams last week. The Sharks have looked a little better in their last two matches overseas. They have their strongest team for this match. The HURRICANES to win an entertaining encounter. |
Kings
V
Blues |
The Kings will be bruised after their thumping defeat at the hands of the JAGUARES last week. It will need a superhuman effort to erase that from their minds. The BLUES to win by about 10 points. |
