Super Rugby Pacific Round 6 Tips
—
Friday 31/3/23
5:05pm Moana Pasifika vs Highlanders @ Mt Smart Stadium
Bookmakers have the Highlanders at –15.5, which is fair given their big win over the Fijian Drua last week.
Despite being well below their best in 2023, the Highlanders defeated the Drua 57-24, which is bad news for the Pasifika, who lost 59-0 to the Hurricanes.
Punters should expect another lopsided affair in Auckland.
Betting tip: Highlanders –15.5 @ $1.90

7:35pm Reds vs Crusaders @ Suncorp Stadium
The Crusaders face a big test against the Reds on Friday night, but their class should be too much for the hosts to handle.
The Reds come off a disappointing 40-34 loss to the Rebels, which isn’t an ideal form guide at any stage of the season.
Meanwhile, the Crusaders are well-rested after their bye week, which followed a bruising win over the Blues. That form bodes well, so take them to win at the –10.5 line.
Betting tip: Crusaders –10.5 @ $1.90

Saturday 1/4/23
2:35pm Fijian Drua vs Rebels @ ANZ Stadium
Despite the Rebels coming off an impressive win over the Reds, they are +2.5 against the Drua.
The line doesn’t quite make sense, and that leads us to believe the Drua will be too strong on Saturday afternoon.
Often when lines don’t make sense, there is a reason for it. Therefore, take the Drua to cover the spread and bounce back to form.
Betting tip: Fijian Drua –2.5 @ $1.90

5:05pm Chiefs vs Blues @ FMG Stadium
The Chiefs have been the testing material of Super Rugby so far, and we like their chances of beating the Blues.
They come off an impressive 24-14 road win over the Waratahs, so that form should check out against the Blues, who defeated the Force 30-17.
There won’t be much between the rivals, but the Chiefs at –1.5 is a fair line.
Betting tip: Chiefs –1.5 @ $1.90

7:35pm Brumbies vs Waratahs @ GIO Stadium
The Brumbies were disappointing when losing 35-17 to the Crusaders, but they’re tipped to bounce back against the Waratahs.
The Waratahs come off a bye following a 34-17 loss to the Hurricanes, so both sides have struggled with facing the New Zealand teams.
Bookmakers have the line at –8.5, which is bigger than we would have expected. However, the Brumbies have more upside.
Betting tip: Brumbies –8.5 @ $1.90

Sunday 2/4/23
1:35pm Hurricanes vs Force @ Central Energy Trust Arena
The Hurricanes are tipped to pile on the points against the Force, and with a dry surface expected, they should score easily.
They have been playing much better recently, and although the Force play well every now and then, they struggle against Kiwi sides.
Take the Hurricanes to score with ease.
Betting tip: Hurricanes –20.5 @ $1.90
