Phaka Predictions: Super Rugby 2019 – Round 1

Phaka Predictions with Kaunda Ntunja - Super Rugby - Hollywoodbets

Kaunda Ntunja, the host of the weekly PHAKA rugby show on Supersport, gives us his predictions for the opening round of Super Rugby 2019 matches. Check out his tips below, and make sure to tune into the show every Tuesday (SS1 at 19:00) and Thursday (SS4 at 18:00) – proudly sponsored by Hollywoodbets.


Friday 15 Feb 08:35
Chiefs vs Highlanders
Chiefs 9/10
Highlanders 9/10
Phaka Prediction: Highlanders by 5
“I have no faith in this Chiefs backline. There are too many inexperienced players and the Highlanders have a very strong bench with the likes of Aaron Smith in the mix.”

Friday 15 Feb 10:45
Brumbies vs Rebels
Brumbies (-4.5)
Rebels (+4.5)
Phaka Prediction: Brumbies by 3
“On paper these teams are equally matched so I’ll go for the home side.”

Saturday 16 Feb 08:35
Blues vs Crusaders
Blues (+7.5)
Crusaders (-7.5)
Phaka Prediction: Crusaders by 10
“Blues look like a strong outfit but the Crusaders have retained almost all of their Super Rugby winning team for this one.”

Saturday 16 Feb 10:45
Waratahs vs Hurricanes
Waratahs (+7.5)
Hurricanes (-7.5)
Phaka Prediction: Waratahs by 7
“The Hurricanes without Beauden Barrett are not that potent. The Tahs have all their Wallabies back.”

Saturday 16 Feb 12:55
Sunwolves vs Sharks
Sunwolves (+12.5)
Sharks (-12.5)
Phaka Prediction: Sharks by 15
“Every Sunwolves win is an upset and I’m not going for upsets in week 1.”

Saturday 16 Feb 17:15
Vodacom Bulls vs DHL Stormers
Bulls (-4.5)
Stormers (+4.5)
Phaka Prediction: Bulls by 10
“I believe that the Bulls are the early favourites to win the SA conference.”

Saturday 16 Feb 23:40
Jaguares vs Emirates Lions
Jaguares (+3.5)
Lions (-3.5)
Phaka Prediction: Lions by 7

“In the past the Lions have sent their B team to Argentina but this year they have picked all their big guns.”
