SUPER 14 - PREVIEW - ROUND 12


FIXTURES:

28 Apr Highlanders v Waratahs, Dunedin.
28 Apr Cats v Force, Jo'burg.
29 Apr Hurricanes v Chiefs, Wellington.
29 Apr Brumbies v Reds, Canberra.
29 Apr Cheetahs v Blues, Bloemfontein.
29 Apr Bulls v Sharks, Pretoria.
29 Apr Stormers v Crusaders, Cape Town.

HOW I THINK THE NZ TEAMS WILL GO:

The Highlanders take on the Waratahs, with nothing more than a win needed to keep alive their playoff hopes alive. Both teams come into the game after a week off. I think the Highlanders will cause the Tah's a few problems.
PREDICTION: Highlanders by 8+.

In Wellington the Hurricanes will not have it easy against the Chiefs. I think the Cane's will win it but its going to be a close one, looking forward to this one!!
PREDICTION: Hurricanes by 2+.

The Blues countinue their tour of South Africa, where they play the Cheetahs. Both side are down on form, but maybe the Blues will have the edge with the Cheetahs returning from their trip down under.
PREDICTION: Blues by 3+.

The Crusaders start their tour in Cape Town. I don't think they will make the same mistake as last week, they will over run the Stormers and get the show back on track.
PREDICTION: Crusaders by 10+.
