Couch Critic provides the betting tips for selected matches in Round 5 of Super Rugby including Waratahs v Lions, Reds v Sharks, Stormers v Blues and Bulls v Jaguares with best bets from @Olimp_SA
WARATAHS vs LIONS
This is a coin flip of a game since I make the Lions slightly less poor than the Tahs but the Aussies have home ground advantage (though most of their players hardly know the Bankwest Stadium). The value lies with the visitors in this one.
First Tryscorer - M Schoeman @21.50
Last Tryscorer - H Dayimani @33.00
REDS vs SHARKS
Sharks have looked decent but its their last game on tour whilst Reds are at home and full of confidence after smashing the hapless Wolves.
Last Tryscorer - Filipo Dauguno
STORMERS vs BLUES
The Bulls will be kicking themselves for letting things slip against this Blues team who are far from the finished product. The Stormers might not have shown much in terms of attack but they should comfortably have the beating of the visiting Kiwis here.
Bet: Stormers -8.5 (and look to go unders on Blues points when the markets come out later)
1st Tryscorer: Scarra Ntubeni @22.00
BULLS vs JAGUARES
The Bulls surely have to right the ship at least slightly at some stage. At the same time the Jags will know they cant really afford to straight losses if they are to lead the charge in the Aus Conference.
Last Tryscorer: Manie Libbock @27.00

HIGHLANDERS vs REBELS
Yes the Rebels have had a struggle but make no mistake about it - these Highlanders are primed for the taking this year. This is one of those games where I wouldn't even be surprised if the Aussies won the game!
