Best Bet

Hurricanes –17.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Hurricanes are the best team in Super Rugby this year, and we can’t see them having too many problems with the Brumbies.

They might have lost to the Crusades last week, but they rested many of their best players, so punters should overlook that effort. However, they shouldn’t overlook the loss from the Brumbies against Moana Pasifika.

It was a tough loss to take at a pivotal time of the year, and we don’t think they’ll recover in time to present a challenge to the Hurricanes, who have been the testing material all season, and playing at home is a big assist.

The –17.5 line is sizable, but the Hurricanes are a dominant attacking side, and they should run up a big score on the Brumbies.

Same Game Multi

Hurricanes –17.5, Kini Naholo Anytime Try Scorer, Billy Proctor Anytime Try Scorer, Over 55.5 Points @ $9.00

Bet Now

Kini Naholo has five tries in his last four games, and he should score a try. He is having an elite season for the Hurricanes, and punters get $1.73 for him to score. It’s a fair price from bookmakers, so include it in Super Rugby SGM picks.

Billy Proctor hasn’t scored recently, but the ‘Canes should score plenty of tries, and he could be one of them. He is a $2.20 chance to score, which gives a good boost to payouts.

Over 55.5 is a logical inclusion. It should be a high-scoring contest, where the Hurricanes score the large majority of the points.

Best Value Bet

Hurricanes Penalty Try @ $9.00

Bet Now

The Hurricanes have a dominant forward pack, and it could result in them scoring a penalty try.

We haven’t seen much from the Brumbies forward pack to suggest that they can handle the pressure, and if the ref puts them under a warning close to the try line, it could result in a penalty try.

It has been common this season, so the $9 odds are worth including as a value bet.
