Crusaders Vs Force


Prediction: Crusaders by 13+


Why: Force are playing good, but with Read back and at home should be a comfortable win 


Reds Vs Highlanders


Prediction: Highlanders by 12-


Why: Reds are  at home but in terrible form, expect Landers to win easy.


Chieifs Vs Waratahs


Prediction: Tahs by -12


Why: This decline of Chiefs has been happening for a while, too many injuries, too many changes per week. They probably well 

win being at home, and wanting to get their 

season on track. But if they as bad as they 

did, Tahs are one of the best attacking sides

 in the comp, if Chiefs are error ridden like 

they were againgst Canea, Tahs well punish 

them. Altho last time Tahs played a Nz teamthey were average loosing againgst a good Blues side, so they cant afford to be 

complacent too. I think Tahs are very 

confident, better forward pack im a kiwi but Chiefs just aint the same this year, the 

canes dominated them their. Be close but 


Tahs by 6.


Blues Vs Canes


Prediction: Canes by -12


Why: Canes were red hot last weekend, if they can gain same kinda parity at the 

breakdown, and also good to note their was 100% improvement in their set peices, wan all their lineouts and 95% of their scrums. 

Then i think even a Andre Taylorliss Backline well be too much for the Blues, Canes by 12.


Brumbies Vs Rebels


Prediction: Brumbies 13+


Why: Brumbies desperate to get season back on track, at home Rebels one of the worst defensive sides in this years super 

rugby.


Lions Vs Bulls


Prediction: Lions


Why: I like what i saw with the Lions, they should of beat the Landers, robbed? Maybe the Tmo made a judgement call or rather the ref. Then they got smashed by the Tahs, then werent embarassed by the Force. They are a very entiprising side, unlike sa haha. Not saying they well beat Bulls, with the jetlag but with a local darby, they play alot in the currie cup, Lions have a chance. Lions by 3


Sharks Vs Stormers


Prediction: Sharks by -12


Why: Tough game Stormers are in form,  but SARU wont allow Sharks to blow a home playoff :p, remember a few years ago that happened lol. Sharks by 5.

You are probably quite near the mark with most results, but I do not think the Lions can beat the Bulls.  The latter team has struck form and I think they would beat the Lions with ease.    It should be borne in mind that although the game is a so-called home game for the Lions - the two stadia (Ellis Park and Loftus Versfeld) are about 60 kilometers away from each other and not subject to the same type of difference that is attached to some other home games.
However - I do not make predictions before I have seen the teams and there may be a few surprise selections iro of SA teams that could influence the outcome.
