Four of the last five games between these two have had this result. Expect the blues can do enough to hang around but probably never really look like winning. Rain could also help keep it lower scoring and therefore tighter
I'm with you on this one as well.

I also like the Blues to win this and have taken the 3/1 at GGGaming

Think Canes 1-12 is also a pearler

My bets are Canes by 1 - 12 at 19/10 (placed earlier in the week) and Hurricanes to win and over 40.5 points at 1.09/1

I like this RB, have followed you.
Appears I'm against the grain and have taken some Canes -8.

Under 47.5 points alive somehow in the 78th minute. Only for that superb cross kick try to end game

Tentatively and not quite so sure I'll be going the Wolves plus but for a lesser stake.
My best bet of the weekend is the Waratahs plus , granted the Crusaders will want to bounce back to the top of the NZ conference but I feel the Tah's will score a few points themselves and it could be another frustrating Crusaders win.
The Highlanders will want to bounce back, they were very poor in Durban. They will probably be good enough to win but the cap looks about right and will decide before the game what to do.
In Canberra the Brumbies are 4.5 point favourites , the rebels have been poor on the road and were very poor in 2017. Both are awful but I do feel the Brumbies should cover this cap.
I'm going to lean towards the Chiefs in Cape Town and will be looking to get involved in running.
Finally I do feel the Bulls will be very hard to beat at home , however with much vested in the Sharks to win the SA conference I will be hoping they snatch it, if they play like they played last week there's no reason why they shouldn't.

Personally I’m not convinced they have the right favourite here, with Glos 2 point favourites with most books.
Both teams play a similar “brand” in that they are comfortable with ball in hand anywhere on the pitch, but defensively I’d argue the Blues are superior and I think that could be the difference.
Its not comparing apples with apples - given they play in different leagues, have rested players in recent games, etc, but on recent form (the last 9 games) Cardiff have conceded an average of 17 points, whereas same stat for Gloucester is 30 points.
Cardiff have been working with defensive “guru” Shaun Edwards for a few months and I think they are now getting the results.
I expect Cardiff to have an edge at the breakdown, with two “7”s in Navidi and Jenkins on the flanks and Turnbull, a back rower, in the 2nd row.
They could however come under a bit of pressure at set piece, particularly the scrum.
Willing to take a chance on this however and back them to send coach Danny Wilson off with some silverware.
Blues +2.5 @ 1.91
Blues to win @ 2.30
Total Glos points Under 23.5 @ 1.83

I very much agree and a good analysis....Cardiff have come on leaps and bounds and I can see them winning.

Smaller play on a Sunwolves win at 2.56/1. These odds are too good to ignore.

I got in from work at 530am, fell asleep and woke up two min before kick off of Tah's game , and missed the plus ...feeling gutted .

Bizarre game, just dull by Crusaders to keep kicking the ball back to Folau. Even if contestable he'll win 90% of the time

Well it wasn't... think Saders should feel quite lucky. Hurting on that -2.5
Landers 1-12
Time of first penalty before 21"30

That was so close.
Highlanders vs Lions it may be worth nibbling on Robbie Coetzee to score a try in the game.

1st try
Rob Thompson 12/1
Kwagga Smith 20/1 ew
Afternoon SA games appeal more to me and will focus on those. Plus have 2 units riding on Racing @ 25/1 in Europe so that will be a game I won’t be missing.

Lions without Marx which is a massive blow
Lions were lucky to score 2 of their tries against the Canes and the scoreline flattered them so we are benefiting from that in this handicap - should be closer to -12.5!
Landers were poor against the Sharks but should be happy with 1 win in SA and will come back firing.
Lions 4th match on tour
Dont rate Swys as a coach
Landers will cut Lions to shreds this weekend
Landers -7.5 is GOLDEN
For some reason I thought this handicap was 11.5 and I would have been happy to take the Landers -11.5. All over the - 7.5
For all the Punters especially RuggaBugga and Hanrick who picked the Highlanders to win by more than 7.5 points a big thank you as I based all my bets in this game around this result and got them all (B) (B)

Had Brumbies -1.5 in play and 5mins before half time it looked safe as. That second half was atrocious alright
