THE PREDICTION

Crusaders made it four wins from four as the defence of their Super Rugby Aotearoa title continues to be strong. They were too good for the Blues last time out and by scoring 43 points in that contest, they are now averaging just over 35 points per game in this campaign so far. They will be confident of another success as they host the Highlanders, the side currently at the foot of the standings with just one win from their four matches. They went down to the Hurricanes last week and having posted more than 20 points in just one of their games in this year’s competition, the difference in attacking quality between the two teams should tell here with the Crusaders able to cover the -20 handicap here.
