This week it is Round 11 of Super Rugby 2017!
There are 2 games on Friday 5 May 2017 and , 6 games on Saturday 6 May 2017.
Two teams have BYE weekends this week, the Brumbies and Southern Kings.
The action kicks off on Friday with the game between the Hurricanes and DHL Stormers in Wellington, at 09:35 SA Time (19:35 NZ Time, 07:35 GMT). On Friday evening at 19:00 SA Time (17:00 GMT, Saturday 05:00 NZ Time) the Toyota Cheetahs host the Highlanders in Bloemfontein.
On Saturday, the action starts early, at 07:00 SA Time (15:00 AEST, 05:00 GMT) when the Melbourne Rebels host the Emirates Lions.
The second game of Saturday morning is when the Chiefs host the Reds in New Plymouth at 09:35 SA Time (19:35 NZ Time, 07:35 GMT).
In Australia, the Waratahs host the Blues in Sydney at 11:45 SA Time (19:45 AEST, 09:45 GMT).
Then a few hours later, on Saturday afternoon, the Cell C Sharks host the Western Force in Durban at 15:05 SA Time (21:05 AWST, 13:05 GMT). After that, the Vodacom Bulls host the Crusaders in Pretoria at 17:15 SA Time (15:15 GMT, Sunday 05:15 NZ Time).
Later on Sturday evening, the Jaguares host the Sunwolves in Buenos Aires at 23:40 SA Time (18:40 Arg Time, 21:40 GMT).
I nominate the following winners for the Round. The Hurricanes should comfortably beat the DHL Stormers in Wellington.
I predict a consumate win for the Highlanders against the Toyota Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. Early on Saturday the Emirates Lions should beat the Melbourne Rebels, away from home in Melbourne. The Chiefs should easily dispatch the Reds in New Plymouth.
The Blues should beat the aweful Waratahs in Sydney.
The Cell C Sharks should take care of the Western Force in Durban. In Pretoria the Crusaders should beat the off-form Vodacom Bulls… even at the Bulls home fortress.
Los Jaguares should have little trouble to dispatch the Sunwolves in Buenos Aires.
The Team Sheets are complete for Round 11.
