SuperSport’s Phaka show host Kaunda Ntunja gives us his predictions for the semi-finals of Super Rugby 2019! These are for matches taking place on Saturday 29th June 2019. View his picks below, and get your bets on with Hollywoodbets!
Jaguares vs Brumbies
Saturday 29nd June, 01:05
Jaguares (-5.5)
Brumbies (+5.5)
Brumbies last played in a semifinal in 2015 while the Jaguares are making history with their first ever semifinal appearance. If the Brumbies had David Pocock and Pete Samu available I would’ve gone for them to win this one. It is going to be very close but I feel that the home crowd will lift the Jaguares to display their best performance of the year.
Phaka Prediction:
Jaguares to win by 5 points.

Crusaders vs Hurricanes
Saturday 29th June, 09:35
Crusaders (-10.5)
Hurricanes (+10.5)
The Crusaders have never lost a playoff match in Christchurch in the history of this competition. In fact, the last time they lost a regular match in Christchurch was against the Hurricanes in 2016. They have gone 29 matches without losing at home. They did get rattled by the Sharks when they managed to sneak a draw otherwise it has been a flawless season for them at home. How much will the Hurricanes lose by is the question.
Phaka Prediction:
Crusaders to win by 10 points.
