Absolutely convinced Wales will continue to be dreadful, they are fortunate Italy in the competition, 2.75 to finish 5th looks solid.
Highest scoring match over 73.5 points 1.83, happened 5 of last 6 years (not last year)
Due to being based in England, there are doubts whether Louis Rees-Zammit will be able to play every game but even if he doesn't 6.5 or so about top Wales try scorer looks an ew bet to nothing.
Probably prudent to wait to see the squad but if Paolo Odogwu gets on the bench first game and then scramble to get the price, but could get a big run for your money top try at 51.0 (81.0 for those that can at Betfred) if it looks like he's going to feature heavily.

Quins -2.5 vs bath @9/10 at supabets
Quins in red hot form and have all their internationals, while bath are littered with injuries and are missing big boys to England, wales and Scotland.

I don't really see why the handicap isn't bigger. Am I reading this wrong?

Re the -2pt handicap, this isn't Irish provinces v Welsh regions. We struggle adapting decent club form onto international stage. I don't see that changing with current coaching ticket.
Hopefully new coach Paul O Connell will have an immediate impact on our lineout and maul - may be worth punting some tries from this area
James Lowe as top Ireland try scorer looks decent at 9/2 - he's got game and often gets on the end of moves
England to win the 6N and Lowe to be top try scorer is 28/1
Ireland to finish 4th assumes we lose in Scotland. We may do so, but we might also beat France at home.
Player of the tournament. Scotland won't give Russell the ride he gets at Racing. If he continues recent form, then hard to look beyond Maro Itoje at 10/1
Best if luck on 6N. Not the same without the fans but hope it serves up some good rugby

Also think SOAP is bang on with Harlequins bet.
Bath are showing an awful lot of faith in Stuart Hooper
2 weekend bets
A 2.3/1 treble:
Connacht W
Harlequins W
Scotland AH 21.5pts
and a handicap double:
Harlequins -2.5pts
Connacht -4.5pts

Picked the same two swing matches as I did on that Ireland 4th place. Just feel that the French are adding steel to their flair and I think the 7/2 is pretty generous. Thanks for the thoughts.

I am here with you Chiefie, I just feel this year France will take it.They have played the best rugby last season and they play with flair and purpose. For me France to WIN the 6N.

Bristol v Sale, over 44.5 points.
- strong Bristol team, Luke Pearce reffing and Clear weather tonight in Bristol. Will expect Sale to at least contribute 19+ points with MacGinty kicking. (NEVER BACK ROB DU PREEZ).
England v Scotland, Under 46.5 points
- weather looks biblical, rain and snow;
Kick off at 16:45;
Andrew “Let me kick the penalties too” Brace reffing the game
And it’s Scotland.
Double @ 3.18

Don't think there's much point in going back further, ie with recent inception of player welfare protocols

Bit of a change in game style evolving at Sale, more attacking, should make this open with Bristol playing their usual style.
Weather looks ok.

Was lower earlier but this line is fine imo.
Was priced up as wet match but its dry. Given its dry, the total pts for this match really should begin with a 5.

Managed to get plus 17.t Scots a week ago, got unders 44.5 last night and will include under 5.5 tries in the Eng game.
Before that will take Italy plus 12.5 ht with Holly.
I missed the Quinns early calls and have missed the boat for now , will wait and decide on that one. Prefer Leicester slightly against Worcester but two bad teams , at this stage and looking at it again I feel Worcester might be worth a small bet at the best plus 0f 9.5.
Play Well lads

Great call South especially given how low scoring the game was
Delon I also battle with weather sites - I think Hanrick uses and is happy with Wund Guru
I missed the games yesterday lads but some great calls

Cheers was against grain but just thought some England players might be a bit rusty.
Well done all those on Scotland cap and unders, what a result for Scots.

Over 39.5 pts @ 9/10
Brand new pitch, looks lovely. Clear weather, roof open but no rain. And favourite overs ref Barnes in the middle.
