Very disappointed the Lions v Cheetahs game was called off and the Lions v Griquas game must a a doubtful starter - here are my handicap projections for local rugby
Lions -11.5 v Griquas (would be a few points higher if Lions at full strength)
Pumas +11.5 v Sharks
Bulls -6.5 v Stormers
There is also 6 Nations - latest caps below
Wales -6.5 v Scotland
Italy +28.5 v England
France -3.5 v Ireland
Rugby Champs
Aus +8,5 v NZL

Took it this morning on Bwin.com but as I can see all punters are on the same bet, the line has moved very quickly
On the Mitre Cup, the odds are out
Canterbury (-6.5) vs Otago
Wellington (+3.5) vs Tasman
Northland (+13.5) vs North Harbour
Auckland (-6.5) vs Waikato
BoP (-2.5) vs Hawkes Bay
Manawatu (+2.5) vs Southland
Taranaki (-11,5) vs Counties Manukau
Can't believe Southland is favourite away - when is the last time this occurred!! So Manawatu on the board could be interesting and I Like Northland Cap - They have not lose a game at home and 2 converted tries seems like a huge cap

Wales v Scots - already on Scotland +7 from a few weeks ago. Scotland look to be in a better place at moment, no home crowd to spur Wales on.
Italy v England - going to be an all-out England attacking performance to get a decent points difference. Referee a bit of a concern.
France v Ireland - both impressive on weekend, France will clearly have a go no matter what score England win by, just seems how they approach games now. Ireland will want similar to last week but can't see it.
A treble -
Scot +
Eng points overs (once out)
France points overs or minus
around 11/2 to 6/1.

You should be charged for theft for that Sharks -7.5! I expect a big bounce back from the Sharks as well and even thought the -11.5 I got was a steal. My multiple also included WP +5.5 as I think they might have already had their eye on this one judging from their last performance

I suspect Hawke’s Bay might consider resting players for Bay of Plenty, since they have a huge Ranfurly Shield match against Wellington the following week. If they win, then they keep it for the year.
Wellington are taking their home match against Tasman to Jerry Collins stadium in Porirua this week rather than the cake tin. So wind might not be such a factor there compared to the cake tin.

Clermont on the board @ 1.83
Clermont should bring the best available squad and Brive will be without all their Fijians and Georgians international players

hWOW ! What a surprise from Dave Rennie. The All Blacks smiling all the way to glory. I have never seen that in my wildest dream to play a ROOKie at first -five -eight. I have thought the Wallabies will gave the All blacks a game this weekend ,but it do not seems to be.The gap between Super Rugby and Test rugby is huge.Ask Hoskin Sosutu.The All Blacks want to win the CUP this weekend in style.It will happen ,because the Wallaby back line is there for taking.
Back to SA, the Stormers will push the Bulls, they already have one eye on this game this weekend.This season SA teams do not deliver two great game week in and week out.
In 6nations :France vs Ireland , Ireland know how to approach a must win game.
My bets for the weekend:
NZ -11,5 / Stormers +4,5/ Ireland +4,5
Adding Pumas +6,5 and Lions -10,5

Was driving tonight, had show playing via car speakers. Very good thoughts and guests all round, all with sound reasoning on selections. The comment re ‘NZ will always keep you in it’ or similar stood out, the -9.5 was my only early bet of week. Also like the total tries note from Bradie on France Ireland game, definitely waiting for that market with anticipation.
Should be a great day of rugby Saturday. Points markets will make for interesting viewing.

This Irish supporter won't be betting on Ireland so not sure if we'll see that handicap reel in Bradie!
Agree with you re Sexton and Murray.
Wales v Scotland
Yes - Finn Russell does lovely things but can also be a liability - see recent game v Exeter.
Weather may not suit either. I don't trust either side so not getting involved.
Mitre Cup
Yeah - this mug stayed up to watch Wellington score a gazillion pts v Counties in the last 20mins last weekend - Hence play on 'Naki.
I'm afraid I don't share the confidence in Northland - they were lucky to beat Southland at home recently, and this weekend's visitors are vastly superior.
Best of Luck with your bets all

Canterbury would have had their talks, they have had their discussions, and looked at what needs to be done.
They have been boosted by the return of a couple of experienced players from injury/ suspension.
Otago welcomes back Ioane, Tomkinson and Koroi, so they have a strong line-up too.
However, I expect Canterbury to bounce back here and get to it from the start.
Small bets.
Bet 1: Canterbury HT -2.5 @1.85, bet365
Bet 2: Canterbury -4.5 @1.80, bet365
Bet 3: Canterbury team total over 28.5 points @1.84, sportsbet.com.au
Bet 4: Canterbury team total over 3.5 tries @1.70, bet365

The total points is 61.5, while total tries is 7.5, so I'm taking over 7.5 tries @1.80.
