Super Rugby AU: Predictions and fixtures – Round 5

super rugby au round 5 fixtures and predictions

Australia’s post-lockdown Super Rugby competition reaches round five this weekend, with another brace of fixtures Down Under.

The table is taking shape with all five sides having now played at least three Super Rugby AU fixtures.

It’s a pretty picture for the Brumbies, who cruised to a 24-0 victory over the sorry Western Force last weekend.

They now take on the second-placed Reds in a battle at the sharp end at the GIO Stadium on Saturday (kick off 11.15 SAST).

The Queenslanders head to Canberra off the back of their bye week, having sealed two wins and a draw in an unbeaten start to the campaign.

Their opponents are four points clear at the top of the log with three wins from three ahead of the capital city showdown.

The Rebels perked up last weekend to record their first success at the third time of asking, with a handsome 29-10 win at the Waratahs.

They now have the ideal chance to back it up as they take on bottom side the Western Force, fresh from their pointless outing against the Brumbies.

Sydney’s Leichardt Oval is the venue on Friday (kick off 11.05) as the cobbled together side make their fourth bid to secure a first victory of the new season.

The Waratahs will spend the weekend stewing on their last defeat as they take a bye.
