Brumbies vs. Highlanders |
 |
The Brumbies have gone 7-1 at home over the last twelve months and they covered the line in six of those seven wins. The Highlanders have gone 2-6 both in the head-to-head and the line away from home over the last twelve months. Both sides enter this game on the back of a defeat, so it’s worth pointing out that the the Brumbies have gone 3-1, both in the head-to-head and the line, on the back of a loss over the last twelve months, while the Highlanders have gone 3-6 in the head-to-head. The Brumbies have won four on the trot against the Highlanders and their last two home wins over the southern side were both by 16-point margins. I would back the Brumbies in the head-to-head at 1.36 (PlayUp). Those looking for more risk should take the Brumbies -8.5 at 1.93 (PlayUp).

Crusaders vs. Moana Pasifika |
 |
The Crusaders bring a three-game winning streak into this clash and the winning margins were 24 (Reds), 22 (Force) and 22 (Blues). Moana Pasifika have shown excellent fighting spirit this season but all three of the Crusaders’ most recent vanquished opponents are a class above. The Crusaders have won and covered the line in five straight home games, spanning this season and the last. They are spoiled for choice in the backs and have the luxury of rotating players with minimum effect to results, which bodes ominously for the rest of the competition. I would back the Crusaders 13+ at 1.43 (bet365). Those looking fore more risk should consider the Crusaders -20.5 at 1.91 (bet365).

Reds vs. Force |
 |
This is another case of a team with an excellent home record hosting a team with a terrible away record. The Reds have won four straight at home, spanning this season and the last, and they covered the line in their last three home wins. The Force have gone 1-7 away from home over the last twelve months and they failed to cover the line in six of those seven defeats. The Force have lost their last four visits to Queensland and they failed to cover the line in their last two visits. Four of the Reds’ five home wins over the last twelve months were by 13+, while six of the Force’s seven away defeats were by 13+. I would back the Reds in the head-to-head at 1.23 (Unibet). Those looking for more risk should take the Reds -11.5 at 1.91 (bet365).
Other Games
For the Hurricanes vs. Waratahs, the visitors’ 4-1 record suggests the +9.5 line is too generous, however the Waratahs have played four home games and just one away game so far this season. The NSW side has gone 0-5 both in the head-to-head and the line away from home over the last twelve months. They have also lost seven consecutive games to the Hurricanes. The hosts come into this game on the back of a bye and they have gone 6-1 as the home favourite over the last twelve months, but they look too short at 1.27 in the head-to-head, hence why I don’t have an official tip.
