Super 14 Rugby - Round 13 Preview and Odds

Hurricanes vs. Force in Wellington on Friday

Thee two teams are usually like a lucky packet - you have no idea what to expect. The Canes have been more consistent that ion the past and somehow the Force left their game when they leave the South African province of Perth. Canes have too much juice though. People have been writing crap about Jerry. Jerry he mad.

Canes by 10 or more

Bulls vs Brumbies on Bloutoria on Friday

They talk about a turnaround in Pretoria. Pity its 13 rounds too late. A win in the soup against the Tahs was certainly what the Loftus faithful were hoping for but the season is a massive failure for the soon to be ex-champs. The Bulls will win, but its little consolation for their fans.

Bulls by seven or more.

Highlanders vs Blues on Saturday

The Blues have struggled in Dunedin (hard to think they used to call it the 'House of Pain'), but they will turn that around in an attempt to salvage their season.

Blues by more than 15.

Reds vs Crusaders in Brisbane on Saturday

People are calling this the big mismatch and you can't see the Saders losing this. But the Reds are looking better each week and with Chris Latham back they will play with renewed energy. There's isn't much for the Saders to play for, so the Reads will push them close. No chance of the Banjoes coming out in Brisbane.

Saders by less than 10

Sharks vs. Cheetahs on Saturday

The Cheetahs rarely been blown away. For sixty minutes that is. Then they fall apart and this weekend will be no different. It's a pity how bad the Sharks have been this year. We said on this site that we thought they had been lucky in many of the games in the first six rounds and the tour from Hell proved that. All their stars are our of form and nobody can kick goals. They'll only win because the Cheeetahs are experts at losing.

Sharks by 14

Lions vs Chiefs in Johannesburg on Saturday

Jacques Fourie's return will boost the Lions but as with the Cheetahs, this side lacks quality all overt the park. The Chiefs will be steaming from their loss to an average Force team and the Lions will bear the brunt. Louaki plays well every second week and last week was the bad one.

Chiefs to smoke them by more than 20 in front of empty stands

Stormers vs. Waratahs in Cape Town on Saturday

This is possibly the game of the week, and has the making of the game of the comp. Regardless of the loss of Burger, the Stormers back 3 have enough talent and pace to deal with an all Wallaby back row. The Waratahs will target the Stormers scrum which has been on shaky ground since JD Moller's unfortunate injury. In fact we think the game is going to ride on how well The Stormers go at the scrums and the breakdown (they got moldered by the Brumbies in the second half last week and didn't commit enough bodies). McKenzie has moved CostaLote Tequilas to fullback but the Stormers will make a mistake if they target him with bombs. He played league and part of a league winger's job is the field high kicks and run it back and he is good at that. Grant should rather look for opportunities to catch him out of position.

Most bookies have the Stormers only a slight favorite and we agree. There's so much riding on this game for a franchise which has disappointed for the last ten years.

Stormers squeeze in by less than 7
