We are in group C
Italy, Argentina and Georgia.
I don't think these games will be easy but group B with England, Ireland, Australia and Fiji is goup a of death.
Only one team in each group goes through to the semi(one additional top ranked team) so nothing is left out on the field bybthese youngsters.

Above is the link highlights on Georgia vs England. If it's the same team then England will be smashed in Cape Town.

NZ -30 is a big cap but they've had 2 tough warm up games vs Aus and i think come into this more ready, i'm not sure Wales u20 have had a proper game for months? couldn't find anything.
Might wait for the NZ points. Don't know what to make of the other games, probably Ireland -7 appeals but may take them a game to get fully up to best. France -31 v Japan another big cap, French love to attack, Japan could be blown away 2nd half.

Any punter thinking points in the Wales/NZ match ie no 3 at Paarl or the SA/Georgia match no 3 in Stellenbosch I would suggest unders is the only option.

Having originally fancied the +28.5 I am a couple of points away from being a minus backer

Where is Ireland england on and what are conditions expected to be like?
Weather expected to be OK Saturday. England/Ireland second match on High School ground. Next bad wave of weather due Wednesday so matches on the 29th could be affected.
I catch some schools rugby around the Durbanville area regularly but my last visit to Paarl Gym was around 2018 and the Danie Craven around 10 years ago. Too long ago to make fully informed calls on the playing surface but good school fields in Durbanville two weeks ago were a little dodgy come the final match and there has been one or two real mud baths in the area recently.
Probably worth holding the really big strike on the third matches until around half time in the second match.

Teams with good depth also important to bag those points. England used to send their best players on in 2nd half when they won the tournament.

Last 2 matches between these sides have yielded 60 and 69 pts so not confident on Unders.

Considering the rain I would say this pitch has really held up well
I am so out of form its scary - cannot pick a winner and the Cheetahs game will determine whether or not I have a layoff

I’m opposing your picks Brent and having a field day. Will send you a bottle of captain in the post.

Under 60.5 in Bok game
Went under 27.5 points second half points in the currie cup final, wasn’t sure on that handicap! So was rooting for no points.
Good shout on the boks game, actually went over 57.5 points, with Harry Pottervili missing his final conversion to cost me. Them the breaks.

6 matches coming on Thursday and we are likely going to do the Handicap show a night early so we can preview the games
Here are the fixtures with my projected caps - just a gut feel as expect some team changes
Australia +4.5 v Ireland - tough one, Aus were shorter in the outright betting but battled past Fiji and Ireland failed to beat the cap against England drawing the match. I was impressed at times though and felt they were the better team
France -9.5 v New Zealand - France look a class above - wondering if New Zealand rested players for Wales? If not I think they are in trouble
Wales -28.5 v Japan u20 - Wales almost beat the AB's
South Africa -23.5 v Italy - that early Italy red card was a killer but Boks should start big favs
Argentina -15.5 v Georgia - they were playing 14 but I was impressed with Argentina
England -19.5 v Fiji - I didn't see the Fiji game so a fair amount of guess work here
Also looking forward to seeing outright betting

Australia +4.5 (choice) v Ireland
France -9.5 (-4.5) v New Zealand
Wales -28.5 (-25.5) v Japan u20
South Africa -23.5 (-20.5) v Italy
Argentina -15.5 (-14.5) v Georgia
England -19.5 (-15.5) v Fiji
Differences 3-4 points in orange and 5 or bigger in red
I really like France -4 and also fancy Ireland to win
They have also posted outright betting with France and SA 5/2 and New Zealand at 28/10
Going to mull over things for a while

Outright betting is spread right across for them and reckon our third game against them could be a cruncher.

Australia +4.5 (choice) +5.5 v Ireland - closer to where I expected it
France -9.5 (-4.5) -11.5 v New Zealand - has now moved past my line (France also into 18/10 outright)
Wales -28.5 (-25.5) -25.5 v Japan u20 - stable
South Africa -23.5 (-20.5) -18.5 v Italy - Italy have shortened a couple
Argentina -15.5 (-14.5)-8.5 v Georgia - money for Georgia
England -19.5 (-15.5) -16.5 v Fiji - stable
NOTICE
There will be no handicap on Thursday night as there is no rugby but we will be doing a show on Wed 28th at 20h00 where I will be joined by @Jackalforlife who is a massive fan of junior rugby and attended games at both stadiums last weekend
Set a reminder for tomorrow nights show here

French 6/10 also a good bet,
Take the double! See NZ picked same team so their A team played Wales. definitely not title contenders.
Lots of rain falling in Cape Town on Wednesday and Thursday. Unders, unders and more unders.
South Africa rest some players, like Italia's plus. Hopefully red card doesn't spoil their game again.
Wales are playing their A team against Japan, so think Wales minus good bet and Japan under's probably the better bet.
Ireland to win the group is 18/10 on WSB. Fancy that!
I do like an Ireland France final. Suspect French will finish 1st with that huge points difference and Ireland 2nd/3rd. Can get each other in the final.
10/1 on WSB.

93% Humidity but forecast seems ok
Ireland coach is looking for a better territorial kicking game so less off the cuff attack.
Still inclined to play Overs on points though. Ireland Maul has gone well and B Gleeson is back starting at 8 and part of a tearaway loose trio.
I don't know much of today's opposition but can't see an underage Aussie side look to play it tight.
Hoping for a low 50's to aim at

Unders all day. Will be lucky to get 40 points in this Ireland v Aus game. Field looks heavy.
Gary Owen from 25m out, going to be a long day of kicking by the looks of it.
