Super Rugby Pacific 2024: Round 12 Predictions
Round 12 looks relatively straightforward to pick, although there are a couple that might trip some people up, particularly that final match in Perth.
Here are my Super Rugby predictions for Round 12:
I’m backing the home side to edge the top-of-the-table clash at Eden Park, with home advantage likely to be a key factor there, whilst in the other New Zealand derby, I’ve backed the Crusaders. I’m clearly finding it hard to undo the years of programming of picking the perennial champions, despite their form this season.
In the final game, I’ve gone with home advantage and backed the bottom-of-the-table Force at home to the Drua. It’s a 50/50 pick, but I’ll be cheering the Australians to bring home my GSP.
Which ones do you disagree with this week?

Crusaders probably won’t win away anytime soon.
Perth is the homeland of refugees from South Africa - the Fijians will play South Africans in the Antarctic or Perth to get a victory. Brumbies figure strongly in The Man from Snowy River and they enjoy eating Waratahs. Finally, the Waikato Maori have never accepted the invasion of Aotearoa by foreigners and will take every opportunity to make visitors unwelcome. One doesn't need to study form but history to earn GSPs.
