Check out Round Three Super Rugby tips, predictions and players to watch. Who do you think will win? Check out my team and compare.
Super Rugby Round Three 2011 gets underway with a very emotional game in Nelson. Title contenders the Crusaders and Waratahs play in a match to remember the Pike River tragedy from last year, just a week after about 200 people have died in an earthquake in Christchurch. In some ways you feel for the Waratahs who are a good team, but the whole world wants the Crusaders to win this one on emotion.
When picking players for www.testrugby.com it is important to remember that the Hurricanes have the bye this week, while three teams The Bulls, Reds and Waratahs have the bye next week.
Here is my team. I am trying to avoid drafting in any players from teams who won't be playing next week because I see it as a waste of a trade. The Bulls, Reds and Waratabs have the bye next week, while the Hurricanes have a bye this week. If you are looking to make money then sell your players with the bye just after the previous round is locked.
