Super Rugby predictions: Winning teams, margins and reader votes
The six-match Easter weekend Round 10 kicks-off with three matches on Good Friday.
The Chiefs go in search of four wins on the bounce as they host the Lions in Hamilton while the Sharks take on the Reds in Durban while the Sunwolves take on the Hurricanes in Tokyo.
On Saturday, there’s an all Kiwi clash in Dunedin, a vital match between the Highlanders and Blues. Another interesting clash sees Australian Conference leaders Rebels host second-placed Waratahs who need a win to stay in touch of top spot.
The weekend’s action will finish in Cape Town where the Stormers take on the Brumbies.
