Round 11 is highlighted by the three Crunch Transtasman conflicts, two of which will be played on ANZAC Day itself.
However, everything is very important from a playoff standpoint. And the New Zealand team still didn’t win in 2025 in Australian soil. Perhaps this is a week that changes everything?
Read all lineups, tips and injuries updates.
Good luck with your tips.
Friday, April 25th
Chief and Force
Break Park, Mt Mangatui, 5:05pm (aest)
chief: leavent, nameah name, nameon, quarantine, Sabo eleven. Reach Luke Cub the Best, Kirsal Times, Foot, Torre, Ramsiaans, Kren and Sabrielle. Alternatives: Brodie McAlis, Olliie Norris, Reuben O’Neil, All North Ah Kui, Simon Parker, Wallace Stat, Te Toiroa, Kaleb Trask.
force: Mac Greeley, Harry Potter, Shio Tomkinson, Hamish Stewart, Bailey Quenzle, Ben Donaldson and Henry Robertson.

Alternatives: Tom Horton, Atu Mori, Josh Smith, Am Carter, Reed Princep, Doug Phillipson, Max Bully, George Poolman
Official: James Dollman; Assistant Referees: Marcus Prayle, Fraser Hannon. TMO: Glenn Newman
prediction: Damien Mackenzie rested for this. Josh Jacombe takes over at No. 10. Otherwise, the Chief would be named an impressive starting XV, but Wallace Cityty will make his first appearance in Bench Year. The Force has struggled over the ditch for a long time, but they explain themselves better here, but the chiefs have too much firepower in their homes. chief By 18.
Top Fantasy Picks: search Daniel Rona To provide a wide range of Chiefs finishes.
Odds (tab.com.au): Chiefs $1.04, -20.5$1.85; forced $10, +20.5$1.95
Queensland Reds vs. Blues
Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, 7:35pm (aest)
red: Jock Campbell, Lachie Anderson, Dreco, Hunter of the Palam, Team Ryan, Tom Linaga and Notte McDermott. Joe Brial, Praser McReight, Seru Uru, Salotal-Loto-Loto-Loto, Josh Candham, Zenen Noongor, Richie Asia, Fa’agase SEF. Alternatives: George Blake, Alex Hodgman, Massimo de Lutis, Angus Bryce, Ryan Smith, John Bryant, Kalani Thomas, Helemire Murray.
Blues: Zarn Sullivan, Cole Forbes, Rieko Ioane, Aj Lam, Mark Tele’a, Harry Plummer, Finlay Christie; Hoskins Sotutu, Anton Segner, Cam Christie, Josh Beehre, Patrick Tuipulotu, Angus Ta’avao, Kurt Eklund, Joshua Fusitu’a. Alternatives: Ricky Riccciteel, Mason Tupaa, Hamdahn Tuipulotu, McWhannell Law, Adrian Choat, Sam Nocket, Barrett Beautire, Barrett Beautire.
Official: Jordan Way; Assistant Referees: Nick Berry, Jordan Kaminski. TMO: James Lecky
prediction: This weekend, in the second clash that saw three big trans tasmen collide, these two teams turned on the Golden Point thriller when they last met in Brisbane. The Reds are fresh from last week’s goodbye, reclaiming Jock Campbell at age 15, but their lineout remains anxious. Bruce almost knocked out the Crusades last week, looking round the corner. Beauden Barrett’s inclusion on the bench suggests that the Blues Coach Vern Cotter is watching this come down on the wire. Blues By 2.
Top Fantasy Picks: Hoskins Sotutu It’s well incorporated into this season. This is a kind of open game he excels in.
Odds (tab.com.au): Reds $1.75, -1.5$1.90; Blues $2.05, +1.5$1.90
Saturday, April 26th
Moana Pasifika vs. Fijian Drua
North Harbor Stadium, Albany, 2:35pm (aest)
Pacific: William Cycle, Ceceta Sepa, Tanner Tool, Fine Income, Jackson Garden Buccop, Jonathan Sex. Semisi chips Blade, Ardie Saua (Capt), Nimol Slade, Tile Savage, Falerum Seniction and Tichea Press. Alternatives: Thomas Marketing, Chills, Chris Ablanc Craig, Tenne Marie, Melanc Polyme, Patrick Perles.

Iia Tabuvou, Kytione salawa, Murray, Etoniah Waqa, Leone Rotuisoli, Isored Isors, Sweet of Tawake, Dolokoto, Peni Ravai. Alternatives: Tevita Ikanivere, Meli Tuni, Mesake Doge, Mesake Vocevoce, Elia Canakaivata, Leone Nawai, Kemu Valetini, Selestino Ravutamada
Official: Angus Gardner; Assistant Referees: Matt Kerahan, Marcus Prayle. TMO: Glenn Newman
prediction: Drua won his second victory of last week’s season, but his form away from home was almost poor this year as well. Ardie Savea’s return pushed the ledger in favor of Pasifika, but this fixture gives them a better shot in the road victory. Moana also benefits from William Havili returning. pasify 7.
Top Fantasy Picks: Look for Ardie Savea to the boss of this game after losing to Brumbies last week.
Odds (tab.com.au): Sea $1.45, -6.5 $1.90; Drua $2.70, +6.5 $1.90
Highlanders vs. Cross
Forstbur Stadium, Dunedin, 5:05pm (aest)

Alternatives: John the Williams, Kershole Sykes Martin, Tar Chalu, Kyle Prehan, Kyles Rehaka, and Saiye Freighton.
Official: Damon Murphy; Judgement assistants: Jeremy Markey, Jackson Henshaw. TMO: Brett Cronan
prediction: This is really time for make-up or breaks for the Highlanders who can’t afford to lose this. They are always standing up for the South Derby, but the Crusades were upset by Moana a few weeks ago, so the Crusades are running hot and undefeated. This will be a fast, up-tempo game where Jordan can run AMOK. Crusades are up to the age of 15.
Top Fantasy Picks: Macca Springer You must be a beneficiary of some running crusader rugby.
Odds (tab.com.au): Highlanders $3.80, +10.5 $1.85; Crusades $1.26, -10.5 $1.95
Brumby vs. Hurricane
Gio Stadium, Canberra, 7:35pm (aest)
Brumbies: Tom Wright, Andy Muirhead, Ikiwi, Corey Touke, Noah the candidate, Ryan Ronergan. Leader Tapiti Bar, Lake Lemer, Rob Hooper, Nick Frost, Alan Paulie, James Swellard, James Swellard. Alternatives: Lachlan Lonergan, Rhys Van Nek, Feao Fotuaika, Lachlan Shaw, Rory Scott, Harrison Goddard, Declan Meredith, Ollie Sapsford.
Hurricane: Callum Hard, Cylim Punivii, Cilly Proctor, Riley, Higgins, Kini, Kini, Love Reuben, Camigar, Roigard; Sleep Future, Kirifi, Brad Shields, Zach Galadher, Delany Cleve, Pasition Tosi, Raymond from Tustoric, The Mapheyo tevita. Alternatives: Jacob Deberry, Xavier Noumea, Tyrell Lomax, Will Tucker, Braden Ise, Eleatala Enali, Riley Hohepa and Bailin Sullivan.
Official: Paul Williams; Assistant Referees: Angusma Bay, Mike Winter. TMO: Richard Kelly
prediction: This will be unfolded as a weekend game and as an important game for both parties to launch. The Brumbies want to keep in touch with the top two, but the Hurricane cannot afford to buy any more defeats if they want to play final football. Brumbies deserves a favorite at home after stopping Moana Pasifika, but the wand kicks some of the errors in Perth. Apply the squeeze ahead and look for Brunby to pull away from the hurricane late. 5 by 5.
Top Fantasy Picks: Billy Pollard The Trice Scoring Machine behind the Brumbies Maul should be successful again this weekend.
Odds (tab.com.au): Brumbies $1.45, -5.5 $1.90; Hurricane $2.70, +5.5 $1.90
