SUPER 14 - PREVIEW - ROUND 4


FIXTURES:

Chiefs v Reds
Brumbies v Cats
Waratahs v Sharks
Crusaders v Blues
Stormers v Highlanders
Cheetahs v Hurricanes

BYE W.Force & Bulls

HOW I THINK THE NZ TEAMS WILL GO?

The Chiefs are back home for the first time this year. They should be to strong for the Reds, the back three for the Chiefs are looking rally sharp and hard to contain. If the pack can lay the foundations there could be a try feast?
PREDICTION Chiefs by 10+.

The Crusaders/Blues match is always hard to predict, the Blues always raise their game down in Christchurch. The Crusaders were very fortunate to come away with the result against the Sharks and i cannot see them making that mistake again. PREDICTION: Crusaders by 4+.

The Highlanders continue their tour of South Africa with a difficult game against the Stormers. The Stormers recorded a well earned draw against the inform Brumbies last time out. The Highlanders are a well drilled team, who are playing well for each other. I think they will sneak this one.
PREDICTION: Highlanders by 2+.

The Hurricanes start their road trip with a game against the Cheetahs. The Canes disposed of the Cats last week without getting out of first gear. They should have the all round class to start their tour with a win.
PREDICTION: Hurricanes by 10+.
