SUPER 14-PREVIEW-ROUND 14


FIXTURES:

12 May Crusaders v Brumbies, Christchurch.
12 May Reds v Highlanders, Brisbane.
12 May Sharks v Force, Durban.
13 May Blues v Chiefs, Auckland.
13 May Waratahs v Hurricanes, Sydney.
13 May Cheetahs v Cats, Bloemfontein.
13 May Stormers v Bulls, Cape Town.

HOW I THINK THE NZ TEAMS WILL GO:

The Crusaders head back home to take on the Brumbies, only victory will do for the Brumbies with teams hot on their heals for that fourth playoff spot. The Crusaders will be looking to cement a home semi-final birth and hopefully hosting the final in Christchurch if all goes to plan.
PREDICTION: Crusaders by 8+.

The Highlanders remain in Australia after their awesome performance against the Brumbies, the take on the Reds in Brisbane. This is a nothing game with both teams looking to end their season on a winning note.
PREDICTION: Highlanders by 10+.

The Blues and Chiefs clash in Auckland and the big question being, will this be Johno Gibbs last game for the Chiefs?
PREDICTION: Draw.

The Hurricanes head to Sydney to take on the Waratahs with both looking for a home playoff spot. This showed be a fantastic game, with so much talent on show from both side.
PREDICTION: Hurricanes by 2+.
