Super 14 Rugby - Round 4 Betting Odds and Preview

March 7 - Will it be another nightmare weekend for South African Super 14 rugby fans or will we somehow squeeze a couple of victories from what looks like an impossible task?

Bulls v Lions

I almost forgot. At least we're assured one South African victory. The Biltong brigade will flock to Loftus in their droves, knowing that this is possible a rare opportunity for victory in what is looking like a nightmare season. With Habana and Bakkies back the Bulls should take it easily.

Bet the margin at Ladbrokes.com - Bulls by 6-10 points at 5/1 looks good.

Highlanders v Wellington Hurricanes

The Hurricanes showed signs of a revival last weekend but the Highlanders youngsters will be no pushover and the have their skipper back. Even though Ladbrokes has the Canes as favorite we sniff an upset. Highlanders by 5 at 7/1 looks very good.

Natal Sharks v Auckland Blues

The match of the round and South African's will be watching those one with interest. The Sharks can only get better. The Blues have looked awesome. A lot rides on Michalak v.s. Evans and we think the Frenchman may just have got used to the humidity in Durbs by now. The Sharks will get in their face like they did in the semis last year. Sharks to take a close one with another couple of late scores. Ladbrokes has the Sharks as the underdog - 15/8

NSW Waratahs v ACT Brumbies

Another cracker in the waiting. Those Brumbies youngsters played great rugby last weekend but Aussie Stadium will prove too tough a prospect and should win. but someone is going to forget to read the Brumbies the script and the youngsters will cause an upset (2/1 at Ladbrokes). You heard it here first.

Queensland Reds v Western Stormers

This will be the Stormers' best chance of victory on the road and let's face it, the Reds are as crap as eve. If Grant can overcome the yips, we sense a bit of a blowout. Stormers by 11-15 at 12/1 looks like good money.

Waikato Chiefs v Free State Cheetahs

Too much for the Cheetahs Chiefs at a canter.

Western Force v Canterbury Crusaders

The purple people will be back home but are they happy to be there? Their record on the road is much better than at home which is hardly surprising considering home is a cricket oval. Robbie Deans is up against his old mate Mitchell, but this Red and Black lot are just way too much for anyone to handle. Look out. Blow out.
