Backing the Under in games involving either the Penrith Panthers or the South Sydney Rabbitohs proved to be a profitable betting play last season. The Under has saluted in eight of the past 12 games played at Pepper Stadium as well as seven of the past 11 games played by South Sydney on the road.
The Crusaders were beaten by the Hurricanes last weekend and it is very rare for this side to suffer back-to-back defeats. The Crusaders have won nine of their past 11 games against the Highlanders and they won the most recent game between the two sides at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
It has been a poor start to the Super Rugby season for the Brumbies and it doesn’t get any easier for them against the Sharks. The Brumbies have lost their past four games as home underdogs and they have failed to cover the line in any of these defeats, while the Sharks did beat the Brumbies in Canberra last season.
The Blues beat the Lions in South Africa last weekend, but they face another tough challenge against the Stormers. The Stormers have won five of their past six games against the Blues as well as two of their past three games as home underdogs for a big profit.
