Super Rugby round 17: match previews, TV details and tipping

Reds v Blues

Sky Sports Action. 10.45am Friday

The teams lying 13th and 14th in the 15-team ladder meet in Brisbane, and the hosts look shaky favourites having lost their last four.

The Reds have not beaten the Blues since 2013, having suffered two defeats in Auckland, one in Samoa, and a draw at home in Queensland.

Neither side has much to play for but the Blues have shown more fight in recent fixtures, drawing with the Bulls last time out.

Recommendation
Blues -1
1pt 10-11 general

Highlanders v Bulls

Sky Sports Action. 8.35am Friday

The Otago Highlanders are back in Dunedin after two road defeats in South Africa and take on a horribly inconsistent Bulls side.

The Pretoria outfit are playing their fourth away match on the spin having beaten the Rebels, lost to the Brumbies and drawn with the Blues.

The Highlanders have won just five matches this term and apart from a 52-0 blowout against bottom side the Sunwolves, none of their victories has been by more than 12 points so the Bulls look worth chancing with a double-figure start.

Recommendation
Bulls +11
1pt Evs Betway
