SUPER 14 - PREVIEW - ROUND 13

FIXTURES:

5 May Hurricanes v Reds, Wellington.
5 May Bulls v Crusaders, Pretoria.
6 May Chiefs v Waratahs, Hamilton.
6 May Brumbies v Highlanders, Canberra.
6 May Cheetahs v Force, Bloemfontein.
6 May Sharks v Stormers, Durban.
6 May Cats v Blues, Jo'burg.

HOW I THINK THE NZ TEAMS WILL GO:

I expect the Hurricanes to gain the full five points from the game against the Reds. They are in with a shout of a home playoff spot and they could put real pressure on the other teams.
PREDICTION: Hurricanes by 20+.

The Crusaders, who are down in confidence at the moment need to get a good result against the Bulls. Its going to have to take an huge effort, but i think they are up for it. If they win this one, they will take out the competition.
PREDICTION: Crusader by 6+.

The Chiefs still have a mathamatical chance of reaching the playoffs if results go their way. I think they can finish their campaign on a high by taking the scalp of the Waratahs.
PREDICTION: Chiefs by 4+.

The Blues go to jo'burg to face the Cats, its not going to be easy but i think they will do it by playing their expansive rugby. They also have a mathamatical chance of reaching the playoffs if results go their way, so nothing more than a win with four tries will do.
PREDICTION: Blues by 15+.
