Super 14: Round 12

[blackcrow]

Hurricanes -14.5 @ 3.10 centrebet Hurricanes have won their last 4 games in a row and they will look to this game as a chance to leap frog over the 4th placed Reds. They have had a very good backline that often beat themselves but are now putting the phases together as well as breaking the lines. Nonu has been in very good form but all throughout the backs their is quality and they should have a great battle with the Reds backline who also have some very good backs and are not afraid to move the ball around. It is in the forwards where the Hurricanes have the edge as injuries have taken their toll on the Reds pack, and the Hurricanes will have noticed how easily the Brumbies were able to constantly upset the Reds in the scrum and lineouts. Also their away form has been below their home form. The Hurricanes have won 7 of the last 8 clashes

Re: Super 14: Round 12 Bulls -17.5 @ 3.05 centrebet Bulls have been unstoppable at home where they have won their last 17 games in a row, so a Crusaders side that has lost its last 2 games. Bulls beat the Sharks last week after coming back from Australia and New Zealand while the Crusaders lost by 28 points against the Stormers, and it does not get any easier here. The Crusaders tend to rely on Carter and McCall to lift the team and if they get negated then there is not much else there, as there are some good players, but not nowhere near the quality of these two players mentioned. The Bulls have a very good forward pack that will look to dominate the lineout and scrum here, while their mauls have been effective in the past. They will look to force the Crusaders into mistakes and penalties where Steyn can knock it in from anywhere. The Crusaders have been sliding and it will take a massive turnaround for them to win this game, especially at one of the most difficult places to play at. Cannot see this one staying close
