Byes - Highlanders, Waratahs

HOW I THINK THE NZ TEAMS WILL GO:

The Chiefs tackle the Cheetahs in Hamilton, the Cheetahs will be going hard out to get something out of the game and it could be a real tricky one for the Chiefs. They have got to step up a few gears from here on in. This is a must win for them.
PREDICTION: Chiefs by 8+.

The Crusaders travel to Perth to take on the Force. This is not going to be the walk in park everyone expects for the Crusaders. The Force are back home and have nothing to lose. But the Crusaders will give them the respect they deserve and will be to strong for them in the end.
PREDICTION: Crusaders by 12+.

The Hurricanes have the tie of the round, when they travel to Canberra to take on the Brumbies. The Brumbies will be hurting from their defeat in Sydney and will be looking to get back on track. The Hurricanes are gunning for a home playoff spot and to continue their momentum. This is going to be a close one.
PREDICTION: Brumbies by 4+.

The Blues start their tour of South Africa against a Sharks team that is now starting to get some form. This is a tough ask for the Blues who have been up and down all year, they do have a slim chance of a playoff spot but that will end here.
PREDICTION: Sharks by 10+.
