Gallagher Chiefs vs Waratahs Prediction: A Heated Quarterfinal Fixture

Gallagher Chiefs take on Waratahs in an exciting quarterfinal which will get more heated and intense as the game progresses. When the last time these two sides played against each other, the scoreline was 51-27, with the Chiefs dominating in all departments of the game. Both teams will be playing a few make-shift reserves to fill in the spots of injured players, and this can certainly affect the team’s balance. 

Going in the game, the Chiefs will be missing out on Flanker Sams, the skipper, due to a knee injury that still persists before the quarterfinal. Moreover, Gallagher Chiefs will be reflecting on their performance against Drua and how they can compile themselves for the upcoming game. The one-point win over Drua certainly sent shock waves to the entire Chief’s lineup. Going in the important quarterfinal, Gallagher Chiefs are coming with a three-match wins streak, which will certainly give them confidence.

When the last time Waratahs played against Chiefs, it was a complete disappointment as they lost 51-27. The defeat hasn’t been much in the past; Waratahs played a couple of games after that and recovered from the loss. Going int the game, Waratahs will look to continue their match-winning form. They won back-to-back matches against Crusaders (24-21), Moana Pasifika (20-26), Hurricanes (18-22), and Highlanders (20-32). Their defeat came at the hands of Blues (17-20) and that even just before the quarterfinal.

Both teams are carrying some winning momentum with them, which is the key as the game of quarterfinal is a game of nerves. Both teams take high points scoring opportunity; hence we can witness a good game. To me, the quarterfinal belongs to the home side.
