Hurricanes vs. Moana Pasifika |
 |
Over 62.5 at 1.91 (bet365)
A recent trend in Super Rugby is the second round of the season has been the highest scoring of the year. In 2023 the average Round 2 total score was 69.8, compared to the 59.3 season average. In 2024 the average Round 2 total score was 68.8, compared to the 53.9 regular season average. In 2025 the average Round 2 total score was 74.8, compared to the 57.7 season average. With that in mind, the over looks appealing for Moana Pasifika given their track record of high-scoring games. In 2025 they averaged 67.8 total points per game, compared to the regular season average of 57.7. Last week their total score against the Fijian Drua was 66, compared to the 54.8 round average (48.0 median). Last season their two fixtures against the Hurricanes saw 71 and 76 total points. New Zealand has had some rough weather in recent days, but weather forecast for Wellington is dry leading up to and including Friday.

Waratahs in the head-to-head at 1.25 (bet365)
Since the Fijian Drua entered Super Rugby their away record is an eye-watering 1-29! That’s a win percentage of 3.33%. Their sole away victory came against Moana Pasifika in Round 1 of 2023. The Fijian Drua failed to cover the line in their last five away fixtures at the end of last season and five of their seven away defeats last year were by 13+ margins. The Waratahs, meanwhile, kicked off their 2026 campaign with a 36-12 win over the Reds. Four of the Waratahs’ five previous wins over the Fijian Drua were by 13+ margins. Those who are looking for more risk should consider the Waratahs -10.5 at 1.91 (bet365).
