Sale - Worcester

Sale, -14

sale are a strong side even if they are resting there big shots against a Worcester Strugerling in the league with only 1 win all season and none at away. Today Worcester are without Gear who is their best hope for tries. With players that Sale have starting along with a great bench they will be looking for bonus points. Just cant see Worcester scoring.

Newcastle - Wasps

Newcastle +3

Tough game to call with wasps defence all over the shop so will go for Newcastle as they have international back line that will score against a faltering wasps defence. be close though

Crusaders -16.5 against the Stormers

I watched the Crusaders last week against reigning Super 14 champions the Bulls and they were superb beating them a massive 54-19 in Pretoria. They will be up for this one as they will want to continue their winning start to the season and they have the players to win the game well. They have made two changes in the front row which will definetley freshen them up and give them something else especially with Wyatt Crockett who makes his first start after impressing off the bench. Any team with Dan Carter at fly half will be dangerous and score tries and I expect him to be the main man for the Crusaders. The Stormers have lost their first two matches and score only two tries and although they could shock the Crusaders I just dont see it happening especially without Schalk Burger who is suspended.
