Super Rugby Pacific Round 5 Tips

Friday 14/3/25

5:05pm Highlanders vs Hurricanes @ Forsyth Barr Stadium

The Hurricanes were upset by Moana Pasifika last week, which shouldn’t happen to one of the better teams in Super Rugby.

That loss could have a flow on affect against the Highlanders, who return to action following a bye, and they have already beaten Pasifika 31-29.

It should be a close game but pick the Highlanders to edge clear.

Betting tip: Highlanders @ $1.72

7:35pm Brumbies vs Fijian Drua @ GIO Stadium

The Brumbies pulled off an unlikely upset when beating the Blues 21-20 last week, sinking a last-minute penalty to steal the win.

It was a top performance from the Brumbies, who are the best Australian team, and they should put the Drua away quite easily on Friday night.

The current line is 12.5, and most of the early money has come for the Drua, but we’re backing the Brumbies to win comfortably.

Betting tip: Brumbies –12.5 @ $1.90

Saturday 15/3/25

2:35pm Crusaders vs Force @ Orangetheory Stadium

The Crusaders got back to winning form with a stunning 43-19 win over the Reds, which sent a message to the rest of the team.

They are a quality team on their day and the Force could find out first hand on Saturday. The Force haven’t been too bad, but we were disappointed with their effort against the Waratahs last week, losing 34-10.

It should be enough fine performance for the Crusaders, who are –25.5 favourites.

Betting tip: Crusaders –25.5 @ $1.90

5:05pm Chiefs vs Blues @ FMG Stadium

The Blues are often their own worst enemy, but getting them at +11.5 against the Chiefs is too good to pass up.

The Chiefs were beaten by the Drua last week in another stunning upset, and although they’ll be better this week, we can’t see a big enough turnaround to easily beat the Blues.

There is good value with the Blues +11.5, who have a solid record in the Battle of the Bombays.

Betting tip: Blues +11.5 @ $1.90

7:35pm Reds vs Waratahs @ Suncorp Stadium

We are surprised by the odds for the Reds, who were thumped by the Crusaders in a one-sided game last week.

The Waratahs come off an easy win over the Force, so we wouldn’t have priced them at $3.02. They get a +6.5 start, and although it’s tough to beat the Reds at Suncorp, they aren’t firing on all cylinders in 2025.

We’re happy to take the value with the road team in what should be a close game.

Betting tip: Waratahs +6.5@ $1.90
