All Rugby 23rd to 26th December

Like Sale -4 and Leinster -3.

Lions +11 and Bulls+6 - Do these have any legs? Seem a tad higher than expected

Agree on Lions +11 and I add Irish +7.5

A healthy little quartet for me for Friday (I've broken my jinx) all the favorites, fired:

Saracens W / Sale Sharks W / Sharks W / Stormers W @ 3.36 (Sunbet) = 3 units

Then a similar all-wins quartet for Saturday (TBA)

I have to take Castres +16 @1.90 2u

Best home team against worst traveller of Top14 means to me that Castres can take something from this match. They rotated last two weeks so will be fresh and fully focused for this match. ST comes from a very physical match in Limerick two weeks ago. Castres president said that their priority is Racing Next week but I don't trust him as this is a derby.

Everything above Castres +12 is valuable in my opinion.

Any value in Lions +12 since the teams?

I managed to get u46.5 newcastle-sale @1.80 3u and Irish +10 ha @1.813 2u.

Weather looks horrible up north with heavy rain and medium wind, so I expect an under affair as this line looks 5-6 points too high. I expect Irish not to win against best team of England but may earn the losing bonus point.

Stormers v Bulls over 48.5 @ 10/11

Bet of the day: Late call but I fancy either team by 7 or Less (incl. Draw) in the Stormers vs. Bulls game at 2.17

I reckon this will be a close encounter between two quality sides.

Sharks v Lions
Really don't want that "moered look " in your Christmas photo's so maybe a little touch rugby today. Lions quite good at that

Lions over 21.5 points @ 17/20

Nice and easy and Castres did the job in Toulouse so pretty good friday.

No sir'ee, none of that's going to happen. I forgot from last year how unreliable form becomes at this time of year.
The European cups, team's shifted priorities, Christmas silly season, the list goes on and on. I'll be keeping what powder I've still got, dry.
I'll spectate until the new year gets underway.

To all the punters, and your families, the most merry of all Christmases.
May the bookies pay you handsomely.
And, may your stocking be full of fun pressies, your tummies be full of good nosh, and your fridge full off beer.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all. Ho Ho Ho
Kirky and Family.

Munster +4.5 @1.90 for 2u. Strong compos both sides but I think a full packed Thomond Park may make the difference.

a double for today for me.

Dragons / Bues - Under 46.5
Ospreys / Scarlets - Under 47.5

Double @ 21/10

Weather for both look like rain. Also for both matches, only 1 of the last 5 for both sides went over these lines.

I also really like Leinster @ 8/10 but will see how the double goes first.

Not sure where you got the weather report but as I look out of the window in S Wales its a clear blue sky and apart from the possibility of an odd shower, the local forecast says its going to stay that way for the rest of the day. So I'm thinking it will be a chuck around and I'm going overs.

Thanks, will close out then as obviously misread. Thanks for the heads up.

According to mine said rain the whole day. Problem with checking to early.

Well, we just had the 1st shower of the day here (10 miles NE of Swansea). It lasted 5 mins and now blue sky again. So things may be a bit greasy.... I fancy over 46.5 in the 1st game of the afternoon but will hold until just before KO.

I'm at the game lads and was about to report bright and dry, but a big hua of a black cloud came from nowhere, its now raining.
Smalls Cardiff 1-12 @ 2.70 and under 47.5 @ 1.83

Not a drop after KO then!

Success on the overs there for me so doing it again in the O's game - over 44.5

Thanks for the heads up, at least was able to trade out.

Good luck

Anybody going to watch the Harlequins v Bristol game later? I fancy overs again here (52.5) despite the fact that rain is on the way. The last two times these teams played each other over 70 points were scored so they like their tries ......

Was a gap in my sport on TV between cricket in Pakistan and the Chelsea match this evening so took the tries market this morning on the match

Odds were rubbish but went over 6.5 match tries @ 15/20

rain is coming but i can't resist as both sides like to attack.

Over 24.5 Quins pts
Over 14.5 Bears pts

@ 8/11

small interest MoM Esterhuizen @ 12/1
