The Dragons can be competitive at home but over 80 minutes I fancy the Bulls to get the win. However, with the handicap set at nine points, I fancy the hosts to get within that considering that they are at home and the Bulls have lost three on the bounce.

A month after Charlie Gamble declared he "bleeds blue" and supports the Wallabies, the New Zealand-born back-rower has been selected in Dave Rennie's 44-man Australian training squad. The 26-year-old is the only fresh face in the squad, which sees Kurtley Beale and Harry Wilson included after controversially missing last year's Spring Tour. The…

OPINION: First the apology. Sorry. Having to read, or listen, to a windbag carp on about historical All Blacks' tours can be a distasteful episode in anyone's book. Spare me the sermon, pass me a pillow, dim the lights. Yawn. But hear me out. Firstly, let's be clear. The All Blacks, despite the defeats to France and Ireland in Paris and Dublin last…

Both teams are in superb form but Jake White's decision to field a second-string outfit once again this weekend may be a risk too many. The Chiefs are a very strong side, particularly on home soil. I feel, given the Bulls selection, that the Chiefs will cover the -17 handicap. Exeter Chiefs vs Bulls Predictions Head to Head Exeter Chiefs…
