Rugby Champs
Here are the caps for this weeks games
New Zealand -27.5 v Argentina
Australia -5.5 v SA
Currie Cup
There was drama in the Free State v Sharks game last weekend with Betx coming out -15.5 Sharks, probably not realising it was a Free State B team - the money flew into the minus and the line started at around 30 points (WSB opened +45.5) and Betx were left smiling when the Sharks barely won the game
Here are my projected caps for this weekend
Sharks -21.5 v Pumas
Griquas +10.5 v Bulls
Lions -33.5 v Cheetahs
Will take a look at the Pro 14 later

Already took a healthy helping of Australia -4.5 @2.00 when it came out. I'm still a bit more conflicted on the NZ game as Argentina can be very stubborn.

Not considering this a banker by any means but happy to put this up very early as I will battle to form an opinion on the full time cap.
I like half time handicap, Arg +13.5 points, 9/10 at WSB

Arg should be on a high after their win and will hopefully keep it tight for the first 30 min or so.
NZ have started slow this year and then pull away during the 2nd half when they simply switch gears
This bet has been successful every time I've taken it this year, hoping for more of the same

Boks have started slowly and Australia has started solidly against NZ in both tests. With that in mind I’m taking Australia -2.5 halftime handicap at 9/10 and Australia halftime/fulltime at even money.
Then also Australia -4.5 fulltime handicap at 0.89/1.
Not sure who the ref is yet, but with the Boks’ defensive frailties out wide I will also look at Australia overs.

Sharks -21.5 v Pumas (-21.5)
Griquas +10.5 v Bulls (+11.5)
Lions -33.5 v Cheetahs (-28.5)
Will look around a bit but reckon the Lions can beat that handicap

Have seen the Boks probable team and for me it’s a few steps backwards from the previous two tests’ teams. Then there is also the Brisbane factor, Australia’s best performing venue.

Glen Jackson is the ref, so there goes my overs play out of the window.

Oyonnax vs Bayonne
Oyonnax over 3.5 tries @ 1.83
Oyonnax race 30 @ 1.90
Bayonne does not bring its best team and Oyonnax at home on its synthetic pitch and with Botica should score quite loads

Boks have been much better 2nd half of late whereas it's the opposite for Aussies, their conditioning looked suspect vs All Blacks. Also prefer look of Boks bench to Aus, Marx + Pollard as well as the 2 props look good replacements to make a positive difference.
May also look at the HT/FT Aus/SA also i'm also worried Boks sloppy start could leave too big a gap to chase down.

No, forecast had nothing to do with the bet for me. Would have gone unders even if it was an afternoon game in perfect conditions. Games at the coast (Durban and Cape Town) are just normally lower scoring.

Thanks for your comments
Shaft, I know I m an overs punters and to be honest with you, I hate taking unders especially if I watch the game as I want to see tries, offloads, … and not push for a forward pass and scrums to be set up
But on that game, you both convinced me to go ahead with the under so just hope I won’t be the black cat and that the game will end up with 100 points

Not sure Glasgow will be the force they were last year...Rennie is getting itchy feet already....and I'm sweet on Edinburgh this season and I'm not convinced about Ulster (yet...although a very good win last week)
And get on Northampton -5

Agree re Edinburgh, as well as the +5 I've taken some Edinburgh win at 2.90
Will follow on Northampton -5 too, I see there's still some left at Sportingbet

Keeping main bet 2nd half cap and adding for small exotics interest -
1st try Taylor 18/1
1st away try Creevy 15/2
Just caught recording of this mornings show, good stuff guys and I echo sentiment re Sunbet, best place to punt right now for me, in play options also a stand out.
