I expected Waikato to be favourite in this game, so I take the opportunity. The bookies think they are outsiders for this game. Waikato had a good preseason, ended by a very good win against Taranaki (31-13). They are not missing many players for this game, and are far from full-strength. O'Donnell apart, all the players have been playing in Super Rugby earlier in the season, with the Chiefs. The Mooloos have named a very strong lineup, to start this campain with a win. On the other hand, the Stags have played only one preseason game, lost against Otago (13-08), and are missing players for this game, like Tuineau or Boys. Eade is a new-comer in this team, and he should struggle to organize well Southland's offensive game plan, because he is lacking experience. The front row and the center combination apart, Southland looks weak enough, and I expect Waikato to win this game, even if they are away from home.
PS : note that you can take Waikato +3.5 @1.85 on BWIN.[:D]
