Super Rugby Trans-Tasman, Rainbow Cup, Premiership, Varsity Cup 17-23 May was created by Brent Graham

The newsletter bet bad run continued with the Stormers beating the Lions but not by the 4 points we required. It was overall a good weekend for me though with good wins on overs in Joburg (easy) and Pretoria (not so easy) - thanks to TOS for both - and some Super Rugby TT profits on Fridays games.

Getting the new thread up early as have a busy day ahead and always like to get my projected handicaps in ahead of the bookmakers

Rainbow Cup SA

Sharks -6.5 v Stormers
Lions +8.5 v Bulls

Super Rugby TT

Hurricanes -28.5 v Rebels
Force +12.5 v Highlanders

Blues -25.5 v Waratahs
Chiefs -8.5 v Brumbies
Reds +9.5 v Crusaders

There is Monday & Tuesday GPR action and 2 rounds of Varsity Cup matches

On the weekend we have the big European finals - current handicaps below

Leicester +1.5 v Montpellier
La Rochelle +2.5 v Toulouse

Bookies got wrong fav in the Challenge Cup.

Tigers should be fav over them, I imagine they will go off fav too. Cant see Toulouse losing at all on Sat as well if its dry, reckon it will be fairly easy too.

Agree re Tigers. Borthwick has completely transformed them.
Took some more +2 this morning which is disappearing fast.

Over 7.5 tries ❌
Canes over 41.5 points ❌
Both teams to score 3 tries or more ❌

Fuck Matt Toomua, his surname has changed but he can’t kick out of hand, or off the tee, or pass it, or run with it. Why is Matt Toomua? What is Matt Toomua? The cardboard cut out ****.

Initially in the Leicester camp for tonight's Challenge Cup final, I now slightly lean towards Montpellier after comparing the line ups.

I think Montpellier have better players in key positions, and they definitely have the better bench with some brutes such as Bismarck, J. du Plessis, Lamositele and lest we forget a world cup winning Flyhalf.

Fired over 41.5 @ 5/6 Sharks v Stormers.

Both sides shown good handling in wet, feels a bit low, may even be dry parts of game.

Also considering over 56.5 Lions v Bulls but seeing if a few other bookies open a bit lower.

What the fuck is Sean O Brien wearing? If anyone is watching the Channel 4 coverage, please have a look.

If you ever wanted to know what Pinocchio would have looked like all grown up, then wonder no more... Sean o brien ladies and gentlemen.

Betting wise, gone Joe Exotic:

A drop goal in the game: @2.5
3 or more cards: @ 9
Ntamack, dulin, Aldritt all to score : @200-1
Aldritt, Leyds, DuPont all to score: @100-1
HT draw @10-1
FT draw @20-1
No tryscorer @16-1

Not expecting any of these to land.
But would be leaning on cheslin to score at 2.1
