Friday 29/5/26

5:05pm Crusaders vs. Hurricanes @ One Stadium

Betting Tip: Crusaders –12.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Hurricanes have secured the top spot, so they’re resting some players, which is why the Crusaders are –12.5 favourites on Friday night.

We expect the Crusaders to dominate this game from the outset, and after beating the Chiefs at One Stadium last week, they have confidence of making a run towards the playoffs.

It’s the final game of their regular season, and the Crusaders should get the job done.

7:35pm Reds vs. Fijian Drua @ Suncorp Stadium

Betting Tip: Reds –15.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Reds looked to have an easy win secured against Moana Pasifika last week, but they took their foot off the gas in the second half. However, they should keep it down against the Fijian Drua.

We expect the Reds to be far too good for the visitors at Suncorp Stadium, and they’re looking to enter the playoffs with momentum.

Playing the Drua helps, so back them to win and cover the –15.5 spread.

Saturday 30/5/26

2:35pm Brumbies vs. Moana Pasifika @ GIO Stadium

Betting Tip: Moana Pasifika +22.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Brumbies are a much better team than Moana Pasifika, but we were impressed by their performance against the Reds last week.

After being blown away in the first half, Moana Pasifika bounced back to take a late lead, and with this being their last game in Super Rugby, they should want to put up a fight against Australia’s best team on Saturday.

The +22.5 line is generous, so they are worth including in Super Rugby picks.

5:05pm Chiefs vs. Blues @ FMG Stadium

Betting Tip: Chiefs –6.5 @ $1.90

BET NOW

The Chiefs played well last week in a losing effort, but they are still worthy favourites against the Blues.

The Blues often struggle to beat the Chiefs in Hamilton, and we can’t trust the Blues to win big games this season, and coming off a bye won’t help them.

We’re jumping on the –6.5 line before it moves to –7.5, as we have the Chiefs winning by a converted try. They are tough to beat at home, and this should be enough to see the Chiefs get the job done in front of home fans.

Chiefs by 7

7:35pm Force vs. Waratahs @ HBF Park

Betting Tip: Waratahs @ $2.50

BET NOW

We have backed the Force a few times this season with good results, but there is value with the Waratahs at $2.50.

It hasn’t been a season to remember for the ‘Tahs, but they could end it on a high, and the odds are too good to pass up.

The Force are a solid team, but we don’t rate them at $1.50, and there is little value with that price.
