The Blues then take on the Lions at North Harbour Stadium on Saturday night where I'm predicting the home side will fire up. Frank Halai returns from injury to bolster the back three while Jerome Kaino and Luke Braid have been top five options on the back row despite the team's poor form.
Finally, the Reds and the Waratahs face off in the classic Australian local derby. There are a host of key fantasy players in this clash - virtually the whole Waratahs backline has been valuable while James O'Connor was huge for the Reds in his season debut last week.
In other fantasy strategy news, you would have noticed that your team's value would have changed after Round 3 - players who have played three games begin to change in value, depending on their performances and so can either make or lose you money overall.
The players who gained the most value this week were Handre Pollard, James Lowe and Dillyn Leyds while next week is set to see big increases from Waisake Naholo, Joe Pietersen, Sarel Pretorius, Carl Wegner and Taqele Naiyaravoro.
In major team news so far this week, Brodie Retallick will miss 4-6 weeks of action, Tony Woodcock is being rested by the Blues and two South African teams will be bolstered by returning players.
The Sharks have Francois Steyn and JP Pietersen back from Japanese rugby and Willem Alberts looks set to return from injury.
Similarly, the Stormers welcome back Schalk Burger to their squad after his Japanese stint while Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth may return to action this weekend.
Remember, always check team lists and last-minute news and use our rolling lockout to make late changes to your team if unexpected selections or injuries occur.
