CRUSADERS v CHIEFS – Click here to bet
The Crusaders are sitting on only 2 points after their opening 5 matches and last week they found the Blues too good in Auckland, going down 26-6.
At home this season they have lost to the Hurricanes by 4 and this will only be their 3rd match in Christchurch.
The Chiefs are 2nd on the log with 18 points from their 5 matches, having lost by 6 points away to the Reds in Week 3. They have beaten the Drua by 17 points and last week beat the Highlanders by 7, both of those games at home.
Head-to-Head
Thee sides met in Week 1 of the Tournament with the Chiefs winning 33-29 in a thriller in Hamilton. They also met in the final in Hamilton last year where the Crusaders won by 5 and the last time they met in Christchurch in February of last year, the Chiefs ran out 31-10 victors.
Handicap: Crusaders +5.5
The Crusaders are likely heading for their 6th consecutive defeat, but I don’t think it is going to be a runaway win and will be betting that the Chiefs edge a close one.
Suggested Bet: Winning Margin, Chiefs by 1-7 points inclusive at 11/4

WARATAHS v REBELS – Click here to bet
The Waratahs are currently 10th on the log with 1 victory and 4 losses. They went down 39-36 to the Drua away last week after the game had finished 36-36 after 80 minutes.
At home this season they have lost to the Highlanders and the Blues by 2 points.
The Rebels are currently 7th on the log with 2 wins and 3 losses in their 5 matches. They went down 54-28 away to the Hurricanes last week and their other away game this season was a 6 point victory over Moana Pasifika, a game which took place in New Zealand.
Head-to-Head
The Waratahs beat the Rebels 38-20 at home last season.
Handicap: Waratahs -10.5
Conditions look likely to be good for this one and there have been historically some high scoring matches between the sides, I am looking for 59 points or more in the match.
Suggested Bet: Total Points over 58.5 at 19/20.
