We take a look at the two Super Rugby matches taking place on Saturday and suggest a bet in each game.
Let’s start with a look at the latest Super Rugby Outright Betting where the Chiefs are trading at 37/20 favourites to win the Tournament with the Blues 9/4, the Hurricanes 15/4 and you can get 6/1 the Crusaders and 12/1 and better the balance.

CHIEFS v MOANA PASIFIKA – Click here to bet
The Chiefs are favourites for the Tournament, but they are currently in 4th position with 4 wins and 2 losses in their 6 matches. They were beaten 37-26 away to the Crusaders last weekend, but they have won all 3 of their home matches this season, most recently beating the Highlanders, 28-21.
Moana Pasifika are 9th on the table with 2 victories and 4 losses. Last time out Pasifika were beaten 47-8 by the Blues and prior to that lost 60-21 to the Brumbies. Their victories this season have been over the Force away and the Drua in Melbourne in Round 2.
Head-to-Head
Last season the Chiefs beat Moana Pasifika 52-29 and that 23 point winning margin was their lowest in 3 meetings.
Handicap: Chiefs -28.5
Moana appear to have lost their way after a solid enough start to the season and Chiefs should put them away and I don’t think this handicap is big enough.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Chiefs -28.5 at 10/11

BRUMBIES v WARATAHS – Click here to bet
The Brumbies are currently 3rd on the log with 5 victories and 1 defeat in their 6 matches. They were away to the Reds last week when they came from behind to win 20-19 and they have won both of their matches at home this season, beating the Force by 3 points and Moana Pasifika by 39.
The Waratahs are 10th on the log with 1 victory and 5 defeats and they have lost their last 4 in a row. Last week they went down 21-27 at home to the Rebels and on the road this season they have lost to the Reds and the Drua.
Head-to-Head
The Brumbies beat the Waratahs 40-36 at home in their last meeting last season and in the reverse fixture they also came out on top 31-25 in Sydney.
Handicap: Brumbies -9.5
Australian Derbies can be tight affairs as last week’s match between the Reds and the Brumbies shows, but this fixture has been high scoring of late and backing the current overs line of 47.5 would have arrived in the last 2 meetings between the sides.
Suggested Bet: Total Points over 47.5 at 19/20
