SuperSport’s Phaka show host Kaunda Ntunja gives us his predictions for Round 15 of Super Rugby 2019! These are for matches taking place on Friday 24th and Saturday 25th May 2019. View his picks below, and get your bets on with Hollywoodbets!
Friday 24th May, 09:35
Chiefs (-10.5)
Reds (+10.5)
Not a lot of quality on the field for this one but the Chiefs at home should pip the Reds. Both teams have really struggled this season. In a case like this you go for the home side.
Phaka Prediction:
Chiefs to win by 8 points.

Brumbies v Bulls
Friday 24th May, 11:45
Brumbies (-6.5)
Bulls (+6.5)
It is unfortunate for the Brumbies that David Pocock is out for the remainder of the tournament because he was definitely going to be the difference in this one. The Brumbies style of play will actually play to the Bulls’ favour, so this match will go down to the wire.
Phaka Prediction:
Brumbies to win by 3 points.

Sunwolves v Rebels
Saturday 25th May, 07:15
Sunwolves (+8.5)
Rebels (-8.5)
The Rebels balloon has popped. The Sunwolves are going to benefit from playing against a team that is struggling to regain their early season form. The Sunwolves have absolutely nothing to lose and they will play without any fear.
Phaka Prediction:
Sunwolves to win by 5 points.
—
Crusaders v Blues
Saturday 25th May, 09:35
Crusaders (-13.5)
Blues (+13.5)
Even though the Crusaders have traveled from South Africa, they should still be able to beat a Blues side that just can’t seem to win away from home. The Blues are like Arsenal in the EPL.
Phaka Prediction:
Crusaders to win by 8 points.
—
Waratahs v Jaguares
Saturday 25th May, 11:45
Waratahs 9/10
Jaguares 9/10
Draw 25/1
The Jaguares look set to win the SA Conference but they will suffer this one last defeat before they do that. The Waratahs seem to have galvanized following the Israel Folau saga and are actually putting in better performances than when they depended on their star player.
Phaka Prediction:
Waratahs to win by 10 points.
—
Stormers v Highlanders
Saturday 25th May, 15:05
Stormers (-2.5)
Highlanders (+2.5)
The Stormers have the team to physically dominate the Highlanders. They will be buzzing from their performance against the Crusaders. The Stormers however aren’t a high scoring team so there is no way that they’ll run away on the scoreboard.
Phaka Prediction:
Stormers to win by 7 points.
—
Sharks v Lions
Saturday 25th May, 17:15
Sharks (-3.5)
Lions (+3.5)
My worry with this Lions side for this fixture is that they have a very light pack. The Sharks however have a clear size advantage and they will use that advantage big time because this one will be close and physical.
Phaka Prediction:
Sharks to win by 6 points.
