Scotty Donaldson looks at some players to watch in Super Rugby Round 14. There should be more close matches this round, making selections more difficult for managers. Who do you think will star in Round 14?
Super 15 Rugby Round 14 is a tough round for tipsters with most matches set to be close. This creates dilemmas for www.testrugby.com managers who must now decide which players to select. Here are some Players to Watch. Remember that there are some great teams coming off the bye (Bulls, Brumbies and Crusaders), so there are some genuine stars at their lowest prices. There will also be opportunities for managers to buy some bargains as players are returning from injury, whilst others are providing injury cover and could be worth a shot.
Here are the Super Rugby Round 14 team lists
http://www.superrugbytips.com/p/super-rugby-2013.html
Deon Fourie (Stormers) - Stormers energizer bunny Deon Fourie moves from his usual starting spot of hooker onto the side of the scrum. It means he will probably make more tackles and win more turnovers, but he won't get points for lineouts and scrums. Anyway, it will be interesting to see if he can improve on his 244 points average.
Kieran Read (Crusaders) - Kieran Read is the best Number Eight in New Zealand and possibly the world, so it will be interesting to see how he goes in his return from injury for the Crusaders. His value will only increase from here, although it may take him a few games to get back into points scoring mode.
Jayden Hayward (Force) - Hayward scored a useful 290 points last week thanks to some great goalkicking for the Force. He is a budget price player, but given he kicks and is listed in the midfield despite playing at fullback then he is a great option if you are short of cash and need someone different.
Lappies Labuschagne (Cheetahs) - Labuschagne was missed by the Cheetahs in last week's defeat to the Hurricanes. Labuschagne is one of the highest scoring loose forwards and is dirt cheap since he is returning from injury.
Morne Steyn (Bulls) - With the Bulls the hottest favourites in Super Rugby Round 14, then Morne Steyn must be on everyones roster. He is a points scoring machine and given that the Bulls are coming off the bye, then he will be at his cheapest.
Victor Vito (Hurricanes) - If you have at least ten trades up your sleeve then you could do worse than Hurricanes hardman Victor Vito. Vito had a great game against the Cheetahs and is captain. He should get 80 minutes.
Scott Higginbotham (Rebels) - Higginbotham has scored over 300 points per game over the past three games for a plucky Rebels side. The Rebels have their best shot at victory this weekend against the Stormers and their chances will rest with Higginbotham as captain.
Daniel Carter (Crusaders) - DC is back from the week off and if he can replicate his form from the last match against the Brumbies, then the Blues will have their hands full. There will be some great rivalries in the Crusaders vs Blues game.
Kyle Cooper (Sharks) - Cooper is a cut price hooker who is starting again for the Sharks vs the Force. You can't get a front row forward for under $700,000 much these days.
Willem Alberts (Sharks) - Will the return of Willem Alberts provide the Sharks with the impetus they require to win on the road on the back of a disappointing trip to New Zealand and Australia? Alberts is usually a good source of points in www.testrugby.com and returns from injury this week so he will be at his cheapest.
Israel Folau (Waratahs) - As Israel Folau's stock continues to rise, so do the chances of the Waratahs. I have finally put him in my team and it will be interesting to see if he can continue his magic run of form which has seen him score the most points in www.testrugby.com Super Rugby 2013.
Which player will be the best player in Super Rugby Round 14?
