Waratahs v Lions (8.15am) verdict

Neither of these teams have hit the heights this season but the Tahs look better placed at home in Sydney to grab their first win of the campaign.

Scoring has been low for both teams so a narrow home success looks the best bet.

Highlanders v Reds (6.05am) verdict

Two teams with losing records clash under the roof at Dunedin and with both sides desperate for a lift in fortunes we should see an attacking display.

Both teams have shipped plenty of tries but the Rebels are scoring more freely than the hosts and can stay within a double-figure handicap.
