Bulls v Jaguares

Sky Sports Action, 3.15pm Saturday

Best bet

Jaguares
1pt 8-11 Betfred, BoyleSports, Hills

Max Oram's match verdict

The Bulls endured late penalty agony in the rain against the Blues last Saturday and Jaguares are worth backing to extend the Pretoria franchise’s misery.

Last year’s runners-up were a tough nut to crack in Cape Town last weekend against the pacesetting Stormers and won at Loftus Versfeld last season.

Stormers v Blues

Sky Sports Action, 1.05pm Saturday

Best bet

Stormers -8
1pt 10-11 Betway, BoyleSports, Sky Bet

Max Oram's match verdict

The Stormers should make it five wins from five with a fourth home success by nine points or more.

The Blues arrive in Cape Town after back-to-back away wins at the toiling Tahs and the Bulls but still tend to struggle on the road and their hosts have conceded only one try in three at Newlands.

Reds v Sharks

Sky Sports Action, 8.15am Saturday

Best bet

Reds
1pt 5-6 Betfred, Betway, Ladbrokes

Max Oram's match verdict

The Sharks spoiled the Rebels’ Ballarat party last week to make it three wins out of four this season but it has been a hard tour and the Reds can build on their big home win against the Sunwolves.

The Reds played plenty of good rugby in their three road defeats before that Suncorp stroll.

Hurricanes v Sunwolves

Sky Sports Action, 3.45am Saturday

Best bet

Hurricanes to win by one to 12 points
1pt 10-11 general

Graham Woods' match verdict

The Sunwolves have to pick themselves up after a 64-5 defeat to the Reds last time out but they face a tough test against a Canes outfit hitting their stride after an opening-round defeat.

The visitors are sure to put up more fight after that loss and wet conditions may also limit scoring.
