Tomorrow 9.35am Auckland Blues v Reds

With both teams out of the running as far as the playoffs are concerned, there will be only pride at stake, with the Blues losing 20-10 to the Rebels before the break and the Reds going down 52-41 to the Waratahs before the international window. Prediction: Blues by 10.

11.45am Melbourne Rebels v Waratahs It’s all to play for as the title as Australian Conference winners is at stake, with only one point between the teams. But the Waratahs will be hurt after losing their inspirational captain Michael Hooper to injury and it could depend on how they cope. Prediction: Waratahs by 9. Saturday 9.35am Suva Stadium, Fiji Highlanders v Chiefs The Highlanders have been great at home but have a poor away record and with this game on neutral ground in Fiji, it could favour the Chiefs more as both teams are in a battle for better log positions in the tightly contested Kiwi Conference. Prediction: Chiefs by 7. 11.45am Canberra Brumbies v Hurricanes The Hurricanes will be smarting after losing their last game before the break 30-14 away to the Highlanders, but remain one of the competition’s in-form teams and the Brumbies could be on the receiving end. Prediction: Canes by 13.

1.55pm Singapore Sunwolves v Bulls The Bulls have been rocked by injuries and with both teams out of the running it could be a spectacle. The men from Pretoria should remember the Sunwolves shocked the Stormers in Hong Kong recently. Prediction: Bulls by nine. 5.15pm Durban Sharks v Lions The Durbanites can’t afford to lose any more games, while the Lions will be keen stay clear of the Jaguares, which will make both teams desperate in an expected physical battle, but the Lions will be heavily boosted by the return of Warren Whiteley. Prediction: Lions by six.

9.40pm Buenos Aires Jaguares v Stormers The home team enjoyed a sixgame unbeaten run before the interval while the Stormers are out of the running and will rue losing twice before the break to the Sunwolves and Lions with exactly the same score of 26-23. Prediction: Jaguares by 13. Bye: Crusaders
