Back Laumape to cross for Canes in potential classic at Crusaders

Brumbies v Lions
Sky Sports 2, 10.45am Friday

Last year’s runners-up the Lions look worth a wager to win narrowly in Canberra.

Victories in Melbourne and Perth have made it nine wins out of ten for the Lions this season. The Brumbies have lost three of their five outings at home, all by fewer than 13 points.

Recommendation
Lions to win by one to 12 points

This could be a classic. The Crusaders are going for an 11th win on the spin and the champion Hurricanes have lost only one game this season.

Back Canes centre Ngani Laumape, who has notched six tries in his last four outings, to score a 12th try of the campaign.
