Super XV Friday

Chiefs v Crusaders

08:35 GMT

Sky Sports 4

Two of the top teams in this years competition face off in Friday’s first fixture and we are in for a close affair. The Crusaders appeared to really miss Dan Carter last week when going down narrowly to the Hurricanes. The Chiefs on the other hand came away victors against the Highlanders and in doing so secured their place in the play – offs. The Crusaders see Carter return this week, aswell as Dagg and Read. They should have just a bit too much with the main man calling the shots at 10. Crusaders at 10/11 is widely available and  is the bet here.

Reds v Highlanders

10:40 GMT

The Reds are on the hunt for top spot in their Conference, and while the Highlanders season is more or less over, they can often be a difficult team to break down. The Reds may struggle to rack up the points at Suncorp in what could well be a scrappy affair. A play on Under 48.5 Total Points with Bet 365 is recommended here.
