Force vs. Waratahs Predictions - Super Rugby Week 16 2026

We have Force vs. Waratahs predictions for Super Rugby Week 16 on Saturday, May 30 at 7:35pm at HBF Park in Perth.

It’s an all-Australian battle between the Force and Waratahs, where the Force are $1.50 favourites to win.

Best Bet

Waratahs @ $2.50

We have picked the Force to win a few times this year, with solid success, but we can’t turn down the $2.50 odds for the Waratahs to win.

They haven’t played at their best, which resulted in missing the playoffs, but pride is on the line, and they could play their best rugby with the pressure off.

If the Waratahs are anywhere near their best, they have enough attacking power to score points against the Force. They showed that when beating the Fijian Drua with ease, and scoring tries is the key to their success. They won’t defend well, so they need to keep up on offence.

At $2.50, we’re interested enough to back the ‘Tahs to score an upset win. We priced them at $2, so take the value.

Waratahs H2H, Harry Potter Anytime Try Scorer, Max Jorgensen Anytime Try Scorer, Over 54.5 Points @ $8.50

We’re hoping for some wizardry from Harry Potter, who has two tries from his last five games. He’s a solid player on attack, and punters get $2.10 for Potter to score for the Waratahs.

Another attacking force for the Waratahs is Max Jorgensen, who got back to his scoring ways with a try in each of his last two games. He’s one of their best attacking threats, and he could open the Force defence early in the game.

Over 54.5 points is a good Super Rugby SGM addition. It should be a wide-open contest with plenty of tries, and the final score could be 34-30.

Best Value Bet

Waratahs 1-12 @ $3.90

Bet Now

If the Chiefs win, we don’t expect it to come by 13+ points, so we’re snapping up the $3.90 for a 1-12 win.

It should be a back-and-forth contest in Perth, and they could trade scores throughout the game. That makes a Waratahs 1-12 win possible, and the odds are better than expected.

It’s a good Super Rugby value bet at the current odds considering the Waratahs are $2.50 to win outright.
