Reds vs. Waratahs Predictions

—

Best Bet

The Waratahs were thumped by the Hurricanes last week, and based on that performance, the only team we can back here is the Reds.

What the Waratahs produced can’t have pleased their coach, and although punters should expect some improvement, the Reds should have too much class having beaten the Brumbies in a fine display last week.

It wasn’t a quick start to the season for the Reds, but they’re building momentum, and the opposite can be said for the Waratahs. We predict the Reds to pick up where they left off and put the ‘Tahs under early pressure.

It should be enough to cover the –7.5 spread at Suncorp Stadium.

Same Game Multi

Tim Ryan looks to score a try in his last three games, having scored against the Brumbies and the Highlanders. He’s growing in confidence, which is reflected by the $1.77 price with Super Rugby odds.

Filipo Daugunu scored a try against the Brumbies last week, and he could double down on that effort. He has enough experience to handle the Waratahs defence, and he’ll get his chance to power his way over the line.

We’re including under 56.5 points because the Waratahs could struggle to score points. Max Jorgensen has been excellent with six tries from his last three games, but apart from him, they lack any attacking prowess.

Best Value Bet

A fast start is expected from the Reds, and they could put plenty of points on the board.

We predict them leading by more than a converted try after 40 minutes, and they could lead by two tries, which is enough to secure the chocolates.

Punters get $4.50 for the halftime margin bet, and although they can be tricky to land, the generous odds make it a worthwhile inclusion as a Super Rugby value bet.
