Super Rugby Pacific: Round 9 Predictions

I won’t dwell too much on my performance in Round 8, but thankfully Round 9 looks fairly straightforward and a GSP will lift the mood this week!

Here are my Super Rugby predictions for Round 9.

Crusaders v Blues

The Blues were impressive against the Chiefs last weekend, but you have to back the Crusaders at home here. Crusaders by 6

Rebels v Reds

The Rebels have now won two in a row, but the Reds should be too good for them in this one. Reds by 9

Chiefs v Moana Pasifika

The Chiefs won by 47 points in the reverse fixture, and it’s likely to be a big score again based on recent Moana performances. Chiefs by 28

Highlanders v Hurricanes

This is a tough pick, with the Hurricanes slight favourites, but they’ve had a busy schedule recently and the Highlanders will fancy an upset. I’ll go with the favourite. Hurricanes by 4

Force v Waratahs

If the Force can’t beat the Rebels at home, I don’t think they can beat the Waratahs either. Waratahs by 8
