Super Rugby Round 9 Tips

Friday 11/4/25

5:05pm Hurricanes vs Crusaders @ Sky Stadium

Punters get value odds for the Crusaders at $2.20, especially following a big win over the Fijian Drua last week.

They played much better than the Hurricanes, who lost to the Blues, and although the ‘Canes play at home, the Crusaders could keep its winning form alive.

We expect money to come for the road team on game day, so it could pay to lock in the underdog odds while they’re available.

Betting tip: Crusaders @ $2.20

7:35pm Waratahs vs Chiefs @ Allianz Stadium

The Chiefs showed why they’re the best team in Super Rugby after pulling away late to beat the Reds at home last week. The 27-15 win came against a team that was topping the table, but that has now changed.

The Waratahs lost heavily to Moana Pasifika 45-28, so only getting +10.5 points against the Chiefs isn’t a good line for Waratahs’ backers. We rated them at around +17.5, and that’s only because of their home ground advantage.

However, the Chiefs should be far too good, and they’re our top pick to cover the –10.5 spread.

Betting tip: Chiefs –10.5 @ $1.90

2:35pm Blues vs Moana Pasifika @ Eden Park

Moana Pasifika has been the feel-good story of Super Rugby Pacific, and we’re surprised to see them at such long odds to beat the Blues.

It hasn’t been a vintage year for the Blues, but they come off a hard-fought win. However, Moana Pasifika are playing with heart, and getting +12.5 points is too good to overlook.

They’ll feel right at home playing in Auckland, which is their biggest fan base, so that helps their cause.

Betting tip: Moana Pasifika +12.5 @ $1.90

5:05pm Highlanders vs Fijian Drua @ Forsyth Barr

It’s about time the Highlanders showed something for their hard work, and it’s likely to come against the Drua on Saturday afternoon.

The class edge is with the Highlanders, and with the help of playing at home, they should be too good for the Drua, who were well-handled by the Crusaders 31-14 last week.

Covering a –9.5 spread isn’t easy for the Highlanders, but they have good players, and they could show something towards the end of the season.

Betting tip: Highlanders –9.5 @ $1.90

7:35pm Reds vs Brumbies @ Suncorp Stadium

The Reds couldn’t muster enough in the second half against the Chiefs last week, but they’ll be better for that performance, especially against the Brumbies.

We rate the Reds slightly better than the Brumbises, and playing at home is ideal. They are only –3.5 favourites, and we thought they would be around –6.5 with bookmakers.

Money should come for the Reds on game day, so lock in the current line.

Betting tip: Reds -3.5 @ $1.90
