Fijian Drua vs. Highlanders Predictions - Super Rugby Week 12 2026

We have Fijian Drua vs. Highlanders predictions for Super Rugby Week 12 on Saturday, May 2 at 2:00pm at Govind Park.

The Drua are $1.52 favourites to beat the Highlanders, with both teams pushing for a top six spot.

Best Bet

Highlanders +4.5 @ $1.90

The Highlanders have struggled to produce back-to-back wins, but they should fancy their chances of beating the Drua in Fiji.

It’s not an easy place to play, but based on talent alone, the Highlanders have a much better team. After beating Moana Pasifika last week, confidence levels should be high, and the Drua are there to be beaten after losing heavily to the Chiefs last week.

It’s always tough to predict what the Drua will do at home. They have scored some good wins at home, but also some bad losses. However, we can’t take the Drua at $1.52 odds. It’s far too short for our liking, and getting a +4.5 for a Kiwi team is a good line.

Highlanders +4.5, Jona Nareki Anytime Try Scorer, Jonah Lowe Anytime Try Scorer, Over 55.5 Points @ $8.00

Jona Nareki and Jonah Lowe are good try-scoring options for the Highlanders, and punters get better odds than expected for the speedy backs.

Nareki is a $2.05 chance to add to his tally, and he has played well recently, so we’re happy to include him in our Super Rugby SGM picks. Lowe pays slightly better at $2.15, and his experience could be enough to see him score.

Weather conditions always play their part in Fiji, but we’re hoping for dry conditions. If it’s a dry game, over 55.5 points should have no problem cashing for punters.

Best Value Bet

Highlanders 13+ @ $6.00

Bet Now

They might be the underdogs to win outright, but the Highlanders are good enough to produce a big win on Saturday afternoon.

Punters never know what to expect from the Drua, who have a good forward pack, but there hasn’t been much consistency in the backs. They could struggle to defend the classy Highlanders’ back line, which could result in a big win for the away team.

Bookmakers have the Highlanders 13+ at $6, which easily qualifies as a value bet. Big wins have been the norm this season, and there could be another this week.
