In the hallowed realm of Super Rugby, the Blues and NSW Waratahs are set to cross swords yet again. The Blues, despite their rather mediocre run, slightly lead the Waratahs in the standings, perched rather precariously at 6th versus the Waratahs' modest 8th position.
The most recent face-off paints a rather narrow victory for the Blues. The echoes of the fazes, the hoots and the groans from that Sat Mar 16 2024 encounter are still floating around, when the Blues scraped off with a 12-10 victory.
Peeking into the entrails of their recent exploits, both the crews have had their fair share of glory and gory. The Waratahs battled their way through the Western Force, but saw a series of defeats beforehand. Our Kiwi comrades, the Blues, despite an unfortunate fall against the Moana Pasifika, have had a taste of victory against the Fijian Drua and the Western Force. They also put up quite the tussle against the Reds and the Crusaders.
Alright, time for me to conjure up a prediction that would make the Oracle of Delphi proud. It's a clash of David and Goliath... if Goliath was an average Joe and David had a mild cold. Surely, an epic battlefield tale where the odds are... well, oddly painted by the payout data (my lips are sealed!).
Anyhoo, hold on to your tickets, folks, it might be a bumpy ride with these two. And yet, considering all these seismic sporting factors, I predict our friends from the land of Kiwis taking the field.
