Friday 23/2/24
5:05pm Chiefs vs Crusaders @ FMG Stadium
Itâs a replay of last yearâs grand final as the Chiefs host the Crusaders to open the season.
The Crusaders have been delt a series of injury blows, with the most recent being All Black superstar Will Jordan.
Heâs out for the season, and that should give the Chiefs every chance to win and cover the spread in the opening game.
The current line is 5.5, but that could hit â7.5 on game night.
Betting tip: Chiefs -5.5 @ $1.83

7:35pm Rebels vs Brumbies @ Melbourne Rectangular Stadium
Expectations are low for the Rebels, who could be outclassed by the Brumbies.
The Brumbies are typically the best of the Australian teams, and despite not having much experience in the back line, they could show up in 2024.
We donât expect much from the Rebels, who have been awful over the last few years, hence the $3.06 odds available.
Take the visitors to win and cover the â6.5 spread.
Betting tip: Brumbies â6.5 @ $1.90

10:00pm Force vs Hurricanes @ HBF Park
The Force are harder to beat at home than on the road, but the Hurricanes have the significant class advantage.
Itâs always hard to know what teams will come out with in the opening game, and this could be the Forcesâ best chance to show up. However, theyâre likely to struggle.
There is too much speed and power with the Hurricanes, and their counterattack is one of the best in Super Rugby.
Betting tip: Hurricanes -10.5 @ $1.90

Saturday 24/2/24
2:35pm Blues vs Drua @ Eden Park
2024 could be the Bluesâ time to shine, and they should kick things off with a win over the Fijian Drua.
The Drua have been respected at $17 to win Super Rugby, which is far too short, especially when theyâre +17.5 underdogs in their opening game.
With sunny weather expected, the Blues could run rampant on their pacific rivals, so a big win is coming.
Betting tip: Blues â17.5 @ $1.90

5:05pm Highlanders vs Moana Pasifika @ Forsyth Barr Stadium
We have the Highlanders as one of our long shot picks to win the Super Rugby championship, so they need to get off to a winning start.
Moana Pasifika doesnât have much upside after a poor showing last year, and we donât expect them to show up on Saturday.
Punters get a value line with the Highlanders at â9.5, and they could make a good opening statement in front of home fans.
Betting tip: Highlanders â9.5 @ $1.90

8:05pm Reds vs Waratahs @ Suncorp Stadium
The Reds vs Waratahs could be the closest game of the week, and weâre taking the Waratahs to cover the spread.
The Reds are a $1.44 favourite in head-to-head betting markets, and â6.5 with points spreads markets. We understand the line, but the Waratahs are good enough to keep it close.
It could be the best game of the week, and it could come down to the final play.
Betting tip: Waratahs +6.5 @ $1.90
