Super 14 round 2 predictions

So another week of Super 14 rugby is here and there are some interesting match-ups on the cards. Again it is hard to look beyond the home-teams but there are a couple of fixtures where I believe there could be the prospects of an upset.

A quick look at the fixtures

• Highlanders vs. Blues
• Reds vs Crusaders
• Sharks vs Cheetahs
• Lions vs Chiefs
• Hurricanes vs Force
• Bulls vs Brumbies
• Stormers vs Waratahs

In most of the cases I have backed the home teams to win. The exceptions are the Reds versus the Crusaders and the Bulls versus the Brumbies.

Probably a bit of a brave decision to back the Lions against the Chiefs but they showed heart last week and might be trickier than some people are thinking they will be.

As for the Bulls versus the Brumbies - dunno I just get a funny feeling that the Brumbies could be the side which trips up the Bulls in front of their home crowd.
