Rugby Super 14 - 2009 Season - Round 13 Odds and Tips

It's make or break for the Bulls and Sharks this weekend. The Bulls will try to avoid a typical local derby blowout, and the Sharks host a very difficult Tahs side with a new backline that includes Brad Barrit at 12, hastily pulled back from Saracens in the UK.

Elsewhere, the Crusaders are still in with a chance. They should beat the Reds and if a couple of other results go their way, they will slip into the playoffs.

Friday May 8 - Crusaders vs Reds

No use talking about it. Crusaders by a lot. They are starting to look ominous and of they slip into the four they will worry the other contenders.

Match Odds at Greatodds.com: Crusaders 1/22, Reds 12/1

Lions vs Highlanders

Fourie and Grobbelaar out. Again. Hard to call this one, they are both oh so average. Lions edge home in a forgettable game.

Match Odds at Greatodds.com: Lions 6/5, Highlanders 5/6

Saturday May 9 - Chiefs vs Hurricanes

This will be a cracker. The best outcome for SA teams is a game with no bonus points, which is unlikely considering the attacking prowess of these teams. Chiefs to edge home with their two wingers back.

Match Odds at Greatodds.com: Chiefs 19/20, Canes 21/20

Brumbies vs Blues

The Brumbies are still in with a chance, but need a string of results to go their way. The Blues defense has been terrible, and will continue to be. Brumbies home advantage should see them win by 10.

Match Odds at Greatodds.com: Brumbies 8/15, Blues 15/8

Sharks vs Waratahs

This game is all but a final. The loser is pretty much out of the running. The Sharks will field a whole new backline combination. Expect a bruising encounter. Sharks somehow to get our of jail, after struggling for most of the match.

Match Odds at Greatodds.com: Sharks 4/9, Waratahs 9/4

Bulls vs Force

The Aussie media are talking up the Force and just cannot accept that the Bulls are the real deal. Bulls by 10+ in a typical tight Bulls grinding victory.

Match Odds at Greatodds.com: Bulls 1/11, Force 17/2

Stormers vs Force

The Force think they are still a chance. Someone should break the bad news to them. The Stormers are a disgrace to say the least. Force to win. Yes, a three year old team from a non-rugby city in Australia to beat the team with a 100 year plus history.

Match Odds at Greatodds.com: Stormers 11/8, Force 8/11

Good luck with your tips and remember to always bet responsibly.
