I like Montpellier outright - happy to take anything over 1.7. A small play at Ulster +3.5 too.

Clermont very irregular this year and if Belleau starts at 10 I will take Stormers dnb as well.
Racing +3.5 my biggest fancy as they rotated heavily last week and very difficult to beat in Paris. Agree on Bulls -8.5, Lyon never a good traveler and poor record in this competition.

Also sounds like they'll be going full strength. What makes you fancy Clermont?

Reason for fancying Stormers obvious given they been in form and been chucking the ball about last 2 weeks, looking good in their wins. Meanwhile Clermont is a shell of a team compare to yester years.
Yet against that......its 0c in Clermont on Sat, it will be a big occasion, the Michelin is a place and a half. Stormers might just be too green to win this match. Stormers away record isnt great similar to most rugby teams,Penaud makes a big difference to this team and he will play on Sat, I suspect Clermont will grind out an unimpressive win. The crowd will make a difference and the ref can ping Stormers off the park, for all this talk of Libbok playing well which he has been, they have always been a go forward pack. This might not be the case on Sat, and 10s like him behind a falling pack isnt the most reliable of vehicles.

Racing is a team to be aware of. They defeated Toulon in Mayol with their B team and go full strength this weekend. Not in Paris but its a difficult team to beat in French soil.
With all respect to Toulouse and Saracens this could be the final. For me they should be favourites.

Malherbe, Roos, Orie all didn’t travel. That’s the 3 linchpins of Stormers forward pack (other than SK). That was enough for me to sway to Clermont when you add in home crowd, freezing temperatures.

If bookies do like last seasons, they will publish few hours before kickoff.
I miss those 2015-2017 years when they published early on mondays with plenty of value almost in all games ...

Wagering there is still mileage in the minus
Bulls -11.5 points at 9/10 WSB
I know BG usually allocates a unit stake, I'm more of a round ball and 4 legged punter these days so please excuse any greeness on rugga. I'll go level stakes on all bets and aim to get more right than wrong.

Took on while on this handicap, eventually siding Clermont, mainly down to conditions
Clermont -4.5 points at 19/20 WSB

Cold weather but synthetic pitch and its Challenge Cup so expect soft defences, for me this line is valuable to go overs.

Does Racing on the board not become a helluva lot more attractive now with Sexton out?

And I can't even be angry, because the game had a 13 point swing against the handicap.
Drat but it was nice money if the result went Bath.

Heard the Ulster squad are on 3 different flights landing at 3 different airports to get to Sale today, flying this morning. Not ideal prep at all.
