Fijian Drua vs. Waratahs Predictions - Super Rugby Week 14 2026

Ended

We have Fijian Drua vs. Waratahs predictions for Super Rugby Week 14 on Saturday, May 16 at 2:35pm at HFC Bank Stadium.

A close game is expected between two teams who would love a win at this stage of the Super Rugby season.

Best Bet

Waratahs +8.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

We expect a close game between the Drua and Waratahs, and although both teams haven’t shown much consistency, the Waratahs are good enough to keep it close.

They come off a tough loss to the Highlanders last week, but they did a few things well, and that should give them enough confidence to play well against the Drua, who will be fresh following a bye round last week.

It’s never easy to beat the Drua at home, but they’re also a tough team to predict. They have a good forward pack, so the Waratahs will need to measure up. However, they have a much better backline, and that could be enough to score a few tries and cover the +8.5 spread.

Same Game Multi

Waratahs +8.5, Max Jorgensen Anytime Try Scorer, Manasa Mataele Anytime Try Scorer, Over 52.5 Points @ $8.50

Bet Now

Max Jorgensen started the season on fire, and although the tries have dried up, we expect him to score against the Drua. He is a $2.20 chance to cross the line, which is good enough to boost Super Rugby SGM odds.

Manasa Mataele has had no trouble scoring, having posted three tries from his last four games. He is the $1.90 favourite to score, and the Drua standout should fancy his chances in what could be a high-scoring contest.

Over 52.5 points is worth including in picks. We predict plenty of tries in an open contest on Saturday afternoon.

Best Value Bet

Waratahs @ $3.50

Bet Now

There is a chance the Waratahs pull off the upset, and the $3.50 odds are worth including as a value bet.

Not much needs to change for the Waratahs to end the season with a couple of wins, and they just need to play for the full 80 minutes.

They have looked disjointed at times, which can happen with the Australia teams, but the Drua aren’t a top tier outfit, so the Waratahs should make a game of it as the betting underdogs.
