Your betting guide to all the rugby action over the next three days as the bookies give their inside view.
THE BOOKIES OIL
Hurricanes v Blues
- Well what do we do about the Hurricanes now? What a good performance by their forwards last week. The Blues were immense in defence in Dunedin.
Rebels v Reds
- One thing you see quite often is when a good team gets upset, they follow up the next round with a solid bounce back performance.
Lions v Cheetahs
- Despite only winning one of their last five the Cheetahs have been steadily improving and will be rueing their slow start to the season. Oh, and watch Heinrich Brussow - he's awesome.
Chiefs v Highlanders
- The Chiefs will try and emulate the Hurricanes by returning from South Africa to their home patch and picking up a win. Just bottle the opening 20 minutes from last week boys and do that for the whole game this week.
Waratahs v Force
- The Force were spirited last week when beaten by the Crusaders at home. The Waratahs have a good record in Australian derby matches.
Stormers v Crusaders
- South Africas best versus NZ's best. The Stormers were very impressive beating, and I mean really beating, the Sharks last week. Their seems to be no weaknesses in their squad and they will relish taking on the Crusaders in Cape Town. They are on top of their game, their fans are rabid, and they are at home.
Sharks v Brumbies
- The Brumbies season of woe continues. Sharks are at home.
