Super Rugby Round 15 Betting Tips - Can the Chiefs and Crusaders both get crucial wins?

We have the latest betting tips for two of the biggest matches in Round 15 of the Super Rugby season including Crusaders vs Highlanders and Chiefs vs Moana Pasifika. 

Currently sitting in third on the ladder, the Crusaders know they are still in with a chance of securing top spot ahead of the playoffs. However, both the Brumbies and Chiefs currently stand between them and top spot. Only the Crusaders and Chiefs play this weekend, while all three are in action on the final weekend as the Crusaders travel to face the Brumbies.

Victory in this one is key if the Crusaders are to keep themselves in the hunt for top spot, and they will fancy themselves against the bottom side on the ladder. The home side arrive for this one with five wins in their last six, while they have notched four wins in their last five against their opponents. I expect a big win. 

The Highlanders have been struggling all season, with the side currently propping up the ladder after securing just three wins from their 12 matches. The opportunity to move off the bottom is not out of sight, but a run of four consecutive defeats means they will be very low on confidence. With top of the ladder chasing Crusaders to come, I predict a fifth consecutive defeat for the Highlanders. 

The Chiefs can return to the top of the Super Rugby ladder by securing a win over Moana Pasifika this weekend. With 41 points from their 12 games, the Chiefs are denied top spot by the Brumbies, who are two points clear of them. 

A win in this one would see them move to the summit and, barring a massive win for the Crusaders over the Highlanders, they will stay at the top courtesy of their massive +136 points difference. The Chiefs have won all six of their home games this season, while they have hammered their opponents each time they have hosted them. 

Moana Pasifika have been enjoying an excellent campaign so far, and they currently sit in the last Finals Series spot with a handful of games to come. With 28 points, they need to keep winning matches if they are to keep their fate in their own hands. Three victories in their last three outings has helped them to forget about a two-game losing run, but they now take on an opponent they have never beaten. Six meetings have come and gone, with the away side yet to beat the Chiefs. More worrying for Moana Pasifika is the fact they were humbled 68-12 on their last trip to face the Chiefs.
