Friday 17/4/26
5:05pm Blues vs. Highlanders @ Eden ParkBetting Tip: Highlanders +14.5 @ $1.90
The Highlanders were a little unlucky to lose to the Brumbies last week, but they’re good enough to cover the +14.5 spread against the Blues.
New Zealand games are typically close, and given the wet conditions in Auckland, it should make for a more defensive game. That plays into the hands of the Highlanders, and the Blues come off a thrashing by the Hurricanes.
The line is better than expected, so take the value.

7:35pm Waratahs vs. Moana Pasifika @ Allianz StadiumBetting Tip: Waratahs –20.5 @ $1.90
News broke this week that Moana Pasifika will no longer be in the competition after this season, which comes as no surprise. They’re a mismanaged team, and they’re also struggling to produce anything on the field.
The Waratahs should look to put up a big score at home on Friday night, and with the line at –20.5, expectations are high.
They’re fresh off a bye week, so it could be a rough night for the visitors.

5:05pm Chiefs vs. Hurricanes @ FMG StadiumBetting Tip: Chiefs –1.5 @ $1.90
There has been solid money come for the Hurricanes to beat the Chiefs, but they are tough to beat in the Waikato, so we’re backing the home side.
The Chiefs come off an easy win over Moana Pasifika, where they weren’t tested at any stage. That should leave them fresh and ready to fire against the Hurricanes, which could be an early look at the Super Rugby Final.
It should be a close game, but we give the edge to the home side.

7:35pm Brumbies vs. Fijian Drua @ GIO StadiumBetting Tip: Drua +22.5 @ $1.90
The Drua aren’t always the best team to back on the road, but after beating the Force in Fiji, we’re happy to back them with a sizable start.
We haven’t been overly impressed with the Brumbies, who only narrowly got past the Highlanders last week, and the Drua are good enough to keep games close.
We expect the Brumbies to win, but only by around 10-13 points.

9:55pm Force vs. Crusaders @ HBF ParkBetting Tip: Crusaders –5.5 @ $1.90
We backed the Reds to beat the Crusaders last week at $2.50, but we can’t turn down the –5.5 line for the visitors this week.
They might be down a few players to injury, but the Crusaders are never –5.5 favourites against a team like the Force, so the line is there for the taking.
Class should prevail against a team who lost to the Drua last week.
