Super12 2002 - Round Eleven

Two rounds to go and all is yet to be decided in this year's Super12. The Brumbies will be trying to get their campaign back on track against the Chiefs at Rotorua, while the Waratahs and the Reds square off in a much anticipated local derby.

Chiefs v Brumbies @ Rotorua

The Brumbies have burnt me in the last four rounds. They are lacking direction and ravaged by injuries, but still it is very hard to tip against them when playing the Chiefs. Sure, they are not the team they were last year, but that doesn't mean they are a terrible team. I expect that they'll be extremely tentative in the first half, playing it safe and conservative to build a platform for victory. If they manage to do that, then we may just see them cut loose in the second half.

Reds v Waratahs @ Brisbane

Expect this to be another tight and intense game. Injury has hurt both teams badly, but pride and Wallaby jerseys will be on the line as these two old foes battle it out at Ballymore.

Waratahs by 7.

* Hurricanes v Crusaders @ Wellington - Hurricanes by 10.
