Super Rugby predictions: Margins and winning teams, Week 11
The Crusaders, fresh from the bye, will host the Lions in this weekend’s opening Super Rugby fixture over in Christchurch.
The Lions will be bolstered by a surprise win over the Chiefs last weekend, despite behind-the-scenes issues which saw coach Swys de Bruin leaving to return to South Africa, as exclusively reported by rugby365.com.
Friday’s other fixture features the Sunwolves and the Highlanders.
Saturday is packed with action with the Hurricanes hosting the Chiefs, the Waratahs playing the Sharks, a mouth-watering South African derby with the Stormers taking on the Bulls and the action rounds off with the Jaguares and the Brumbies in Saturday’s (very late) kick off.
