Super Rugby Round 4 starts with a must win derby between the Hurricanes and the Crusaders and includes two derby matches in Australia, three potentially one sided matches and the match of the round is the Stormers vs Chiefs.  For those in virtual and fantasy rugby competitions I have included my picks further down this post.  This week should be relatively easy to pick in most cases, although some teams are starting to rotate players, so check the Super Rugby 2013 Round 4 team lists here

 

 

The Crusaders and Hurricanes meet in a tantalising match in the capital.  Both teams are yet to win a game and were both disappointing last week in their respective matches.  This game should be close, although at this stage both teams will have to raise their games if they are to surpass their 2012 seasons.

 

The Brumbies and Reds should be too strong for their Australian rivals this week.  The Brumbies look like the best Australian side this season, while the Reds look to be improving after their initial defeat at the hands of the Brumbies.

 

The Highlanders and Blues should be too strong when they host the Cheetahs and Bulls respectively.  Both of these matches should be quite entertaining with the Blues the hottest ticket in town playing a Sunday afternoon game ensuring plenty of tries and both the Cheetahs and Highlanders enjoying playing a free flowing style of game this season.
