Best Bet

Brumbies +11.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

If the Brumbies want to be a factor this Super Rugby season, they need to avoid getting blown out by teams like the Crusaders.

As they showed last week, they are good enough to run up big scores against their Australian counterparts, but when it comes to playing Kiwi teams, they can struggle to keep the flood gates closed.

However, we believe in this Brumbies outfit, and this is their best chance to keep it close against a Crusaders team coming off a rough loss to the Highlanders. It wasn’t a good performance, so they are there for the taking.

If the Brumbies are close to their best, it should be a competitive game, so take the +11.5 line. They only need to ensure their defence plays well to keep the All Blacks stars away from the try line.

Same Game Multi

Brumbies +11.5, Corey Toole Anytime Try Scorer, Will Jordan Anytime Try Scorer, Under 58.5 @ $9.75

Bet Now

Corey Toole opened his account with a try last week, making it three tries from his last two games. He’s the best attacking threat for the Force, and we’re backing him to score at $2.10.

Keeping Will Jordan off the try scorers list isn’t easy, and he scored a try last week straight after coming off the bench. The All Black is a difference maker, and his try scoring record makes for impressive reading.

Under 58.5 is included in our Super Rugby same game multi picks. Defence is important, and it could be a lower-scoring game than expected.

Best Value Bet

Ryan Lonergan Anytime Try Scorer @ $3.15

Bet Now

It could be worth having a bet on Ryan Lonergan to score a try, as he did last week against the Force.

It was a good performance from the Brumbie, who isn’t a noted try scorer, but his confidence levels should be through the roof.

We’re taking the $3.15 with bookies, and he should give punters a good sight.
