CHIEFS vs. BRUMBIES – click here to bet
The Chiefs beat the Crusaders in a tight match last week and they remain tournament favourites at 19/10.
They dominated the game early on before letting the Crusaders back in and conceding the lead with time running out. They dug deep and came back to win by 4 points and they go into this game as worthy favourites.
The Brumbies have had a strong start to the season after putting up a dominant performance in their first game that took place last week Friday, winning the game by 27 points and picking up a bonus point.
They played the Rebels away and controlled the game only allowing the Rebels to put 3 points on the board with the Brumbies chalking up 30 points for a final score of 30-3.
They have a good record in the Super Round beating the Blues in Melbourne last season.
The Chiefs beat the Brumbies 19-6 at home in the semifinal last season and 31-21 in Canberra.
Handicap: Chiefs -8.5
Suggested Bet: Over 55.5 points total at 10/11
These sides are both lethal on attack and with a great surface and the expected good conditions I expect plenty of action.

HURRICANES vs. REDS – click here to bet
The Hurricanes had a good start to this year’s Super Rugby championship beating the Force by 30 points in Perth last week and picking up a bonus point in the process.
The Hurricanes started the first half strong and scored 3 tries by the end of the first 40 minutes. The tries kept coming in for them in the second half and although they conceded some points it was not enough to stop them from claiming a 44-14-point win.
The Reds have had a great start to their season with a big win over the Waratahs at home last weekend, leaving them in 4th place on the table after also picking up a bonus point win.
The game started with both sides scoring back and forth and there was not much separating them early, however the Reds managed to get the tries flowing and they cruised to a comfortable 40-22 win to start their campaign.
The Hurricanes won 47-13 in Canberra last season their 8th successive win over the Reds.
Handicap : Hurricanes -9.5
Suggested Bet: Hurricanes over 33.5 at 17/20
The Hurricanes scored 44 points in their opening game and I expect another positive performance with plenty of tries.
