Currie Cup Midweek, Super Rugby Pacific, Gallagher Prem, URC 23-27 March

For the 2nd week in a row I was royally screwed by Munster - last week they came back against the Bulls at Loftus to destroy my Bulls -6.5 and this week I had them to win against the Lions (as well as overs) and they blew a massive lead and failed to score a point in the 2nd half.
The awful newsletter Best Bet run continues but it wasn't all bad news as the 11/1 acca landed thanks to the Rebels, Italy, a last minute Italian try and the French beating the handicap against the English.

Well done France and well done Italy - what a tournament it was to watch

Back to bread and butter rugby this weekend starting with midweek Currie Cup ( click here for separate Varsity Cup thread ) - here are my Currie Cup handicap projections

WP -6.5 v Pumas
Sharks +3.5 v Cheetahs
Lions +13.5 v Bulls

Team selections will be important especially for the Bulls who I reckon may rest a few players.

Super Rugby Pacific continues and hopefully we get a full house of games - my handicaps below

Moana Pasifika +23.5 v Hurricanes
Rebels -6.5 v Drua
Force +6.5 v Brumbies
Highlanders +5.5 v Blues
Chiefs -0.5 v Crusaders
Reds -9.5 v Waratahs

The SA teams are in action against fresh opposition in the URC - here are my projected handicaps

Lions -11.5 v Ospreys
Stormers -7.5 v Ulster
Sharks -8.5 v Edinburgh
Bulls -36.5 v Dragons

There is also Gallagher Premiership action

Force +6.5 v Brumbies (+9.5)

Big difference is the Rebels game - will be interesting to see if the Rebels firm

Have not seen any Currie Cup yet

Had a quick look at Sunbet and see their handicaps are similar to mine - like the -1.5 Cheetahs and Rebels win suggested above

WP -6.5 v Pumas (-8.5)
Sharks +3.5 v Cheetahs (+3.5)
Lions +13.5 v Bulls (+14.5)

WP v Pumas betting preview

I think the Pumas can push them close

Sharks v Cheetahs Betting Preview

I missed the early price on the Cheetahs but will take the -3.5 and may play points if home in time

Lions v Bulls betting preview

Not a confident call but Lions plus 15.5

Over 7.5 tries Lions v Bulls game at 9/10

Still in pain from the Bulls butchering that final try
