Super Rugby Round 5 Review and Tipping RESULTS - 4 from 8

in #sport7 years ago

Hey Steemians,

Another entertaining round of Super Rugby saw me go from 4 from 8 in tips, a few upsets and a few tips i would like to take back, the home teams once again were solid with the only away winner being the Reds in Argentina.

Chiefs v Bulls - As predicted the Chiefs were too good in this clash having far too much for the Bulls at home and easily accounted for them.

Highlanders v Crusaders - Highlanders took the chocolates at home in the all kiwi fixture, i thought the Crusaders would be to strong but the Highlanders surged to a 25-17 win.

Brumbies v Sharks - This was a must win for the Brumbies and they treated it that way, they probably left a fair few tries out on the field but still managed a strong 25-17 win.

Stormers v Blues - As per my preview saying ordinarily i would take the Stormers at home but i like the Blues form i should followed my gut instinct, the Stormers were too strong for a travel weary Blues at the end of a long road trip.

Lions v Sunwolves - This game was a bit of a shock with a high scoring 40-38 win for the Lions in a very entertaining attacking clash. I didnt think the Sunwolves would put up as much resistance but they are a much improved team this year.

Jaguares v Reds - Once again i underestimated the Reds and maybe over estimated the Jags at home, it wasnt the most inspiring affair with both teams committing a lot of errors, the Reds set piece and defense is what got them home in this one.

Waratahs v Rebels - The Tahs bounced back with a big win in the all Australian affair and sent the Rebels crashing back to earth. Izzy Foloua was once again a stand out, back to the drawing board for the Rebels.

I will be back later in the week to preview Round 6 of the 2018 Super Rugby comp and hopefully tip you all some more winners this week. If you enjoyed my post throw an upvote and comment my way would like to hear from you all.
