Blues (-8.5) vs Reds
Rebels (+1.5) vs Waratahs
Highlanders (-3.5) vs Chiefs
Brumbies (+15.5) vs Hurricanes
Sunwolves (+8.5) vs Bulls
Sharks (+4.5) vs Lions
Jaguares (-6.5) vs Stormers
Not sure what the June Int would have done to the Jaguares' confidence but they should be a different team under Ladesma and the Stormers have really not traveled well, so early fancy for the Jaguares -6.5

Eng +5.5 vs SA:
With the series dead and buried, Rassie has confirmed that he will be making 4-5 changes this week. With the pressure piling on Eddie Jones, it must surely be all or nothing. Eddie will know that if he doesn't get a result out of this game, then his job is on the line. There has also been a lot of rain in the cape this week and with Newlands being a historically low scoring ground, the +5.5 seems the obvious choice.
France +25.5 vs NZ.
France, after being red carded inside 20minutes, were still able to beat the handicap last weekend. NZ will be without Barrett and will be likely to make a few changes to test combinations. Also favouring the +12.5 HT handicap in favour of the French.
A tentative call on Aus +3.5 based on home ground advantage and the fact that Beale and Pocock are playing great rugby. The Irish are playing great rugby and Smidt is a fantastic coach so will keep the stake small.
Lastly, the Tahs -1.5 seems too good to be true. Rebels will be without Genia and I expect the Tahs to target this game to cement their playoff aspirations.
Happy punting.

Forwards: Moody, Taylor, Franks, S Whitelock, Barrett, Frizell (debut), Savea, L Whitelock
Backs: A Smith, McKenzie, Ioane, SBW, Goodhue (debut), Naholo, B Smith
Bench: Coltman, Tu'inukuafe, Tu'ungafasi, Hemopo (debut), Todd, Perenara, Mo'unga (debut), J Barrett
Despite the 6 changes to the starting 15 and further 5 changes on the bench, I'm going to have a good go at the minus.
With the series gone, not sure the French will have much motivation.
Just think after last weeks shocker that Hanson & Co will have the ABs humming. The dry conditions (indoors in Dunedin) will suit them.
Hopefully Mo'unga will get a decent crack off the bench, he'll be the ideal bloke to exploit tired French legs in the last 20.
ABs -24 @ 1.95
In the other games:
Will likely go Ireland 1-12 again, but not large stakes.
Also fancy England plus, may also have a play on them to win. Will wait on teams.

I hear you too Couch but I think you’re over-thinking it. If the Boks start rolling towards the line the others are doing all the hard work. And 28/1 & 5/1 doesn’t exactly require a trigger pull, more a gently lofted dart.

In week 1 I backed the French plus 24.5 and got smashed , Week 2 I had no bet and they beat the cap with 14 men , this week is therefore unplayable. I'll have a small nibble on unders at around 56.5.
I fancy Australia on the plus although my heart is with the Irish , I'm firmly in England's camp and will have a go on the plus and under 44.5 total.
I think Scotland represent very good value later against a very poor Pumas side atm.
Play Well

5. Bulls nr 2 in North (2 losses, both against the pumas) 26pts
6. Sharks nr3 in Central (3 losses, FS once, Griquas twice) 24pts
7. SWD nr2 in South (2 losses, WP & Boland) 24pts
8. Lions nr3 in North (3 losses, Pumas twice, bulls once) 23pts
9. Boland nr3 in South (3 losses, 1 draw against WP) 21pts
2 games left for the last round
Valke v Pumas & Lions v Bulls
Pumas need a win to secure first position. Lions need one log point to make the top 8, a win would move them up to 6th.

Can't get my head around how poor they have been.
It's the same team that won 6 on the trot in Super Rugby FFS!!
How can that turnaround happen?
Can't be just coaching, can it?!?
Perhaps it can - irrespective I won't be touching the Jags for at least a couple of weeks.
