Best Bet

Crusaders @ $1.80

Bet Now

It had been a slow start for the Crusaders, but after scoring an upset win over the Chiefs last week, they might be starting to click.

They could have given up after trailing 14-0, but they powered back for a one-sided win, and they’re suddenly a title threat following that victory. It bodes well against a Blues team still reeling after losing to the Brumbies last week.

Despite having ball in hand with just over a minute to play, the Blues gave away a penalty before the Brumbies drove down the field and scored a try after time had expired. It was a tough loss for the Blues, and they might need a few weeks to cover.

A close game is expected, but the Crusaders represent value at $1.80.

Same Game Multi

Crusaders H2H, Sevu Reece Anytime Try Scorer, Caleb Clarke Anytime Try Scorer, Over 55.5 @ $9.00

Bet Now

Sevu Reece and Caleb Clarke are All Black players, and we fancy them to score a try on Saturday evening.

Reece has only one try this season, which is surprising, but the flying Fijian winger should get every chance to score against the Blues as a $1.90 favourite.

We also have Clarke scoring, having scored a double last week. We predicted that he would be tough to stop against the Brumbies, and he was at his powerful best. Punters get $1.95 for Clarke to score, which is worth including in Super Rugby same game multi picks.

It should be a back-and-forth game in the try department, so over 55.5 points is a solid addition to the multi.

Best Value Bet

Crusaders Halftime/Fulltime @ $2.45

Bet Now

After last week’s heartbreak, it could take the Blues some time to find their rhythm in this game, so the Crusaders could pounce early.

We predict the Crusaders taking a 17-13 halftime lead before doing enough in the second half to keep the Blues at bay, and getting $2.45 is a good price.

Those odds could firm on game day, so lock in the current price.
