2024 Super Rugby Pacific Semifinals

While analyzing current form and team history can provide valuable insights, astute fans understand the importance of looking beyond the surface when navigating betting Rugby lines.

Consider factors like injury updates, recent head-to-head records, and potential weather conditions at each venue.

These details can significantly impact the game’s flow and potentially reveal hidden betting opportunities.

The Super Rugby Pacific semifinals are set to get underway Friday morning.

The Blues are heavy favorites to win their semifinal against the Brumbies.

The Hurricanes are also healthy favorites to beat the Chiefs.

Which two sides will meet in the finals? Here’s a look at our betting guide.


 

Blues Have Some Key Pieces Missing

Blues Blues vs ACT Brumbies Brumbies

The Blues will play the ACT Brumbies, the long Australian team in the competition, Friday in Auckland.

While the Blues are -880 to advance to the finals, they won’t bring their full complement of players to the competition.

Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu will be out with a knee injury.

Dalton Papali’i will take over as captain.

Sam Darry should return to the lineup after missing a week with a concussion. The Brumbies will have a few key players back to help.

James Slipper will return to the lineup, while Billy Pollard and Alaalatoa will be in the front row.

Roy Scott will start at flanker.

The Blues have put together an impressive regular season, piling up a 12-2 record with a plus-255 point differential.

The Brumbies were also 12-2 in league play, but had a much harder time running away from opponents.

The Brumbies have a point differential of plus-99.


 

Hurricanes Have Tough Matchup With Chiefs

Hurricanes Hurricanes vs Chiefs Chiefs

The Hurricanes finished first in the table, edging the Blues by one point.

However, they were second in the league with a plus-199 points differential.

The Hurricanes are -190 favorites to win this match.

The Hurricanes are a 4.5-point favorite. The Hurricanes did get some tough injury news this week.

Xavier Numia was ruled out after he suffered an injury in the quarterfinals.

Pouri Rakete-Stones was also chosen to replace him in the lineup.

Tyrel Lomax’s return to the line will bring good news to the Hurricanes.

Hurricanes captain Brad Shields will also be back in the lineup.

One thing the Chiefs can enjoy in this lineup is that they will bring the same lineup forward.

The Chiefs, who finished the season with a 9-5 record, advanced to the quarterfinals comfortably.

The Chiefs beat the Queensland Reds 43-21.

The Chiefs reached the final last season. However, the Chiefs must make a serious turnaround to get back this year.

The Chiefs lost to the Blues 31-17 on June 1.

The Hurricanes narrowly beat the Chiefs 20-17 on May 24. Expect another close match in this one.


 

Super Rugby Pacific Semifinals Picks

The Blues should find a way to run past the Brumbies.

When the two teams met back in April, it was a beatdown.

The Blues romped to a 46-7 win, and this semifinal should see another double-digit result for the Blues.

When it comes to the Hurricanes and Chiefs, that match is much more challenging to call.

It is better to back the Chiefs at +4.5 points in that match.

The two teams played to a three-point margin during the resason. This mathcup should go along the same lines.

Rugby Sevens Series Analysis: Top Games For This Week
 

Previous Betting News

Matters are slowly winding to a close for the month of December in rugby.

The Rugby League World Cup is well and truly over, while the international window in rugby union has also concluded. This weekend sees Premiership Rugby and the French Top 14 take a break as well, with no more rugby until the end of December.

However, there will still be a flurry of rugby action this weekend, thanks to the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in Cape Town. Across three days from Friday, December 9th, until Sunday, December 11th, 16 teams will furiously compete for the third World Sevens Series title of the season.

Here’s a look at some of the best pool matches and Rugby Odds that are coming up on Friday and Saturday.

Weekly Rundown of the Top Rugby Games to Must Bet On: World Rugby Sevens Series

France vs. Fiji (Friday, December 9th at 12:35 PM EST)

Last weekend saw both France and Fiji underperform what they would have hoped to achieve in Dubai.

While France were still admirable, tumbling out in the quarterfinals after being matched against New Zealand, they will want to do better than their fifth-placed finish this weekend. Fiji, on the other hand, did not even make the quarterfinals, finishing third in a tight pool that had New Zealand and Argentina in it.

Again, Fiji find themselves in a tough pool, where they will play one of their early matches against France. This one could go either way, but expect Fiji to rebound and get the victory here. Odds will be out closer to the time but should have Fiji healthy favorites.

South Africa vs. Fiji (Saturday, December 10th at 4:19 AM EST)

Coming off a win last week in Dubai, South Africa will need all the confidence they can get ahead of Cape Town.

The pressure will be on as the host team for South Africa to perform, yet they have been drawn in a difficult pool alongside Fiji and France. They will meet Fiji early on Saturday in a match that could well determine which of these two rugby sevens heavyweights does not progress from their pool into the championship quarterfinals.

Based on the current form, South Africa should win this one. Sevens is a fickle game, however, and post-pandemic, the World Series has been tighter than ever before, so this one is a coin flip. The odds will be out just ahead of the game’s kick-off.

New Zealand vs. Argentina (Saturday, December 10th at 7:48 AM EST)

Finally, New Zealand and Argentina will play out a mouth-watering rematch.

The Argentinians added to their defeat of New Zealand’s 15-a-side team earlier this year by pipping the All Black Sevens team 31-28 in Dubai last weekend. New Zealand will be chomping at the bit for a rematch, which is exactly what they’ll get on Saturday morning in what will likely be a game to decide the winner of Pool C.

Expect New Zealand to not make the same mistakes twice in a row against Argentina here and gain a comfortable win.
