Is Super Rugby getting easier to predict? I am on a run of 28 correct picks in a row, and it feels a bit too easy at the moment.

Hopefully the luck will continue though…

Hurricanes v Waratahs
No Australian team has beaten a New Zealand team in this year’s Super Rugby, and I can’t see it changing in this match. Hurricanes by 23.

Sunwolves v Bulls
The Bulls were unconvincing in the victory over the Sunwolves at Loftus, and this is a potentially tricky pick, but it’s hard to back the Japanese team in any game. Bulls by 13.

Highlanders v Blues
The Blues haven’t won in Dunedin since 2011, and you’d expect this to be a home win for the Highlanders. Highlanders by 8.

Brumbies v Reds
The Reds have lost five in a row since their week one victory over the Sharks, clocking up some serious air miles in the process, and this one should be another home win. Brumbies by 16.

Sharks v Jaguares
The Argentinian side has put together some good results at home, but now head off on their travels and that’s where things get difficult for them. Sharks by 8

Stormers v Chiefs
This is the game of the round between the two unbeaten sides, and it will provide a good test of the Stormers’ title credentials. They need to win this one at home, but I suspect the New Zealanders will beat them. Chiefs by 4.

Force v Kings
Not much to get excited about here, let’s go with the home team. Force by 6.
