SUPER 14 - PREVIEW - ROUND 7


FIXTURES:
24 Mar Hurricanes v Sharks, Wellington
24 Mar Waratahs v Blues, Sydney
24 Mar Cheetahs v Reds, Bloemfontein
25 Mar Brumbies v Chiefs, Canberra
25 Mar Highlanders v Cats, Invercargill
25 Mar Force v Bulls, Perth

Byes - Crusaders, Stormers.

HOW I THINK THE NZ TEAMS WILL GO:

The Hurricanes take on the much improved Sharks on Friday night. This could go either way. The Canes have just finished their tour of South Africa while the Sharks are well into their tour in NZ. Can the Canes get their jet lag out of them and stop the Sharks momentun. I think the classey Canes backs will have to much for the Sharks to contain, i expect a close game:
PREDICTION: Canes by 5+.
The Blues travel to Sydney to take on the Waratahs. Who knows what the Blues will do? The Tahs are playing really well, controlled by the impressive Mat Rogers at first five. It could be a road to far for the Blues?
PREDICTION: Waratahs by 10+.
The Brumbies would of been disapointed with the result against the Blues. The Cheifs are fresh from a week off and they will put more misery on the Brumbies.
PREDICTION: Cheifs by 4+.
