FIJIAN DRUA vs WARATAHS – Click here to bet
Fijian Drua are still battling to pick up points and climb the log, currently sitting in 11th place with just 7 points after losing 7 and winning just 1 of their games.
They met with the Highlanders last weekend losing 43-20 on the road.
The Waratahs have been on decent form this season, winning 5 and losing 3 of their games, which puts them in 5th on the table with 22 points, 1 point behind the Reds and the Brumbies who both are on 23 points.
They put up a stellar performance against a strong Chiefs side a week ago and although the match was tight, they edged a 7-point victory in the end in front of a home crowd.
Head-to-Head
The Waratahs hold the head-to-head advantage between these sides, winning 4 of their 5 meetings. Their last game was in February when the Waratahs edged a 29-24 triumph at home.
Betting and Verdict
Handicap: Fijian Drua [-6.5]
The Fijian Drua are priced at 1.47 with the Waratahs 3.00 and the draw 29.00.
The Drua are at home but the Waratahs are on the up and can beat this handicap.
BET: Waratahs +6.5 at 1.85
MOANA PASIFIKA vs BRUMBIES – Click here to bet
Moana Pasifika have been on inconsistent form throughout their campaign, losing 5 and winning just 3 of their games. They are on 15 overall points which puts them in 10th on the log.
They took on the Blues last weekend and unfortunately could not get the job done, despite fighting hard, the final score was 36-17.
The Brumbies have moved back up into 3rd position on the leader board, with solely their points difference of +19 separating them from the Reds in 4th.
They encountered the Reds on Saturday and after a thrilling 80 minutes, they came away with a 39-26 victory away from home.
Head-to-Head
After Moana Pasifika won their first ever clash, the Brumbies hit back, winning the remaining two games between these two teams, with the most recent scoreline being a 60-21 hammering by the Brumbies at home.
Betting and Verdict
Handicap: Moana Pasifika [+5.5 ]
The Brumbies are priced at 1.50 with Moana Pasifika 2.88 and the draw 29.00.
Conditions may not be great for this game and I like the Brumbies to keep the hosts to 28 points or less.
BET: Moana Pasifika under 28.5 points at 1.85

CHIEFS vs HIGHLANDERS – Click here to bet
The Chiefs have finally been pushed down into 2nd place after their game last weekend. They are now 1 point behind the Crusaders and hold a points difference of +68.
They were unable to get going when they met with the Waratahs a week ago, playing in front of opposing supporters also did not help and they fell 7 points short when the match concluded.
The Highlanders remain in the fight to hold onto winning form and of their 8 matches, they have won 3 and lost 5 and as a result of this they are in 8th position even though they have picked up 5 bonus points.
Last weekend’s 23-point win over the Fijian Drua at home will be a building block on which the Highlanders will look to turn their season around.
Head-to-Head
Across their last 5 meetings, the Chiefs have been flawless, winning all of the games. Their last meeting was in a well contested 28-21 Chiefs win in March last year.
Betting and Verdict
Handicap: Chiefs [-15.5]
The Chiefs are priced at 1.18 with the Highlanders 6.50 and the draw 31.00
The Chiefs are always tough at home but I think the Highlanders can beat this handicap.
BET: Highlanders +15.5 at 1.90
WESTERN FORCE vs HURRICANES – Click here to bet
The Western Force have had a decent season, however they have not been able to execute in crucial situations which leaves them in 6th on the table after winning 4 and losing 4 games.
They had a bye in round 9 but prior to that they took on the Highlanders, two weeks ago and won the fixture 29-20 at home.
The Hurricanes are still in the back end of the log, sitting in 7th after winning 3 and losing 5 of their meetings. They are on 17 points together with the Highlanders who are in 8th position.
They were matched against a well-oiled Crusaders machine the last time they played, which led to a 31-24 defeat at home.
Head-to-Head
The Hurricanes have been the better side over the last few years of meetings between these sides and they have won 4 and lost just 1 of their last 5 clashes.
Betting and Verdict
Handicap: Western Force [+4.5]
The Hurricanes are trading at 1.60 with the Western Force 2.55 and the draw 29.00
Money has come for the Hurricanes and I think it is spot on and I think they an score 33 points at least in what looks cool conditions by Perth standards.
BET: Hurricanes over 32.5 points at 1.90
