Was just an error, put the odds the wrong way round. I'm all over the Reds plus when it's available though.

Thanks bradie82, based on my caps the Sharks plus, Jags plus and Stormers plus are the big differences, Coil would see value in the Waratahs minus, Chiefs minus, Reds plus and Stormers plus

The one game we both differ from the opening quotes is the Stormers and the +7.5 will be my only early play

Great to see Sunbet coming out so early

Waratahs by 13+ @ 1.62 is my early call this week
Despite Folau being out for three weeks, from what i ve seen, this team has the potential to smash that Wolves team by 30+

Mid-week and I'm already stoked for Friday's matches.

Round 7 overall was pretty decent. Came good on the Chiefs -1.5, Tahs -2.5, Canes -9.5, Saders -5.5 and Bulls W. Blues cost me on the minus and lost 2.5 units on points in the Tahs match (Went over 48 at half time).

After landing a nice treble in Round 6 I had another go @7/1 with Chiefs W / Bulls W / Crusaders -6.5. Missed out on Crusaders - 5.5, otherwise this would have been another successful treble.

Round 8, firstly it’s quite interesting that the biggest cap of the weekend is on the Canes to hammer the Sharks. I’m not saying I disagree, but given the Sunwolves and Blues’ previous match performances I expected those caps to be slightly higher. So most of my early value are on Tahs and Chiefs.
I’ll definitely be looking at point lines during the games.

Straight bets -
Canes vs Sharks, No bet (Except for Multi). Canes to win quite comfortably, think cap is spot on and not much value in Canes 13+
Sunwolves vs Tahs, 3 Units Tahs – 14.5 & 2 Units Tahs 13+
Chiefs vs Blues, 3 Units Chiefs – 11.5 & 2 Units Chiefs 13+
Brumbies vs Reds, No bet (Brumbies to scrape it…)
Lions vs Stormers, No bet (Lions to scrape it…)
Jags vs Crusaders, Very tentative here 1 Unit Crusaders 1-12, 1 Unit Jags +14.5

Two Trebles this week (With the second one being very speculative ) –
Tahs -13.5 / Chiefs -9.5 / Jags +17.5 - 2 Units @ roughly 4/1
Canes -13.5 / Tahs -23.5 / Chiefs -17.5 – 1 Unit @ 13/1

Will be interesting to see the pricing of the Hong Sevens this weekend as some teams have decided to take a two squad approach with the Common wealth games in mind.

Blitzboks squad has 5 uncapped players
New Zealand squad has 7 uncapped players

Indeed and Australia as well
10 teams are impacted by both tournaments (SA,NZ,AUS,WAL,ENG,SCO,SAM,CAN,FIJI,KEN) but I think Canada, Scotland, England, Fiji and Kenya are bringing a larger group in HK and the same group will play then the CWG.
USA, Argentina and France are the "main teams" not impacted but the three of them are in the same pool

Munster going to be stacked this weekend against the kings with as close to a first team as possible. I think -15 is a good bet. Get on it early if ye can.

First chance I've had to look at the card for this weekend on the Super Rugby today and after a very disappointing weekend last time out looking to try and claw back some losses made on the Blues v Sharks game as well the Crusaders on the - against the Lions. Picks I've gone for are as follows:

Hurricanes (-22) v Sharks
Brumbies v Reds (+4)
Chiefs (-9) v Blues

Slightly hesitant with the Chiefs considering it's a NZ Derby but all in all it's again a tricky card

Good luck. Hopefully they can win an extraordinarily high scoring encounter then we can both be happy! I've bought Perpignan hotshots at 18 with Spreadex (25 points per Pujol, Piukala, Bousquet or Farnoux try). SPIN are 22 to buy (which is over 22% more expensive, if you like). Looking at the player stats, seems worth risking 8 points that you get at least one try from those 4 players.

I'm with you on this.
Very inexperienced Dragons squad. Nine of the 26 have made their pro debuts this season.
Down to 3rd and 4th choice scrum halves.

Got some -8 with Skybet, out to -10 with most books, can see it going further.

Hurricanes Sharks under 62.5 points. That's a big quote and need to go back to 2011 to find a game between the two that went above that quote.

Ya same logic and Dragons are still awful even at best. Some -7.5 still available at wsb if you can bet in SA

I know its a final but UWC have been in a class of their own in varsity shield. -21.5 is generous I feel, only UFH got within this handicap mainly due to UWC missing a number of 3 point conversions and them taking their foot off the gas, they still won by 19 points.The game will be televised so can see them putting on a show and they did win this fixture 42-5 earlier in the campaign. Likely will only be available at wsb and can't have a proper go but better than nothing

Just one for me in the Hurricanes v Sharks game, Robert du Preez to score a try at 4/1 with 365 or Sportingbet.

Good luck backing him with the latter though; they have 2 players just listed as "Preez" and both at 4/1. Hard enough finding a winner without them turning into a lucky dip! :silly:

And one player in the Sharks v Roosters NRL game.

Keary anytime 10/3 and buy his try minutes at 11, both with Spreadex.

Same anytime price available with Skybet.

Similar approach in the Dragons v Rabbitohs game and with the same firm.

Widdop backed at 5/2 and bought at 14. 13/8 best with the fixed odds firms and 17 to buy elsewhere.

Saw this piece on Twitter about the surface www.radiosport.co.nz/sport-news/rugby/ru...rks-playing-service/

Seems concern is around it being hard as opposed to cutting up so not certain that there will be any impact on points

That's a big late change and could throw out all rhythm in the backline and become a less open affair. Therefore I like the under too, got under 60.5
