I took a break this weekend as had no signal and really I just needed a week off of punting (I still took the newsletter acca which lost) and clean forgot to do my Superbru picks
Returning back to the land of Vodacom I see the Sharks lost to a less than full strength Connacht and there were some really low scoring encounters with Edinburgh and Leinster games being the exceptions.
On we march, here are my projected handicaps for the URC
Edinburgh -10.5 v Benetton
Cardiff +4.5 v Stormers
Lions -13.5 v Zebre
Bulls -14.5 v Connacht
Sharks -11.5 v Dragons
Leinster -8.5 v Munster
Glasgow -7.5 v Ulster
Ospreys -5.5 v Scarlets
There is also Gallagher Prem action

Two games that I will be concentrating on next weekend are firstly Bulls v Connacht and the Lions v Zebre.
Bulls v Connacht has the hallmarks of an open game in Pretoria. I think the Bulls will be glad to get home from the tour of Europe. They played Edinburgh on Friday night and didn't play badly at all, a red card for Coetzee after half time quickly followed by a yellow to Hanekom left them down to 13 which is when Edinburgh took over scoring two tries in that period. The Bulls entered Edi 22 in that game 3 times and came away with an average of 5.6 points scored per entry. I watched the Connacht game back for a second time yesterday and how they came away with the win I really don't know, Sharks butchered so many gilt edge chances. Sharks had 9 entries into 22 and came away with an average of 1.3 points scored, they made 141 carries and 6 line breaks to Connachts 85 carries and 0 line breaks. So it's fair to say Connacht was very fortunate to come away with victory. The bet I will be looking for here is total points, I sense an overs game or I may look for Bulls total points because I can see them causing Connacht real problems with their pace and power. We will have to wait for a market to be priced closer to the time.
Lions Zebre
Lions were excellent on Friday night, really could of got something away to Ulster a difficult place to go. Nohamba at 10 (or at 9 sometimes) is performing excellently. I feel Lions total points should be a good thing here, they put 50 at home on Zebre last year and I feel that they've improved since whilst Zebre probably have too I feel home advantage we can see Lions put up a big score in Johannesburg.

I was also eyeing out the Lions game and am very interested to see the points line. I quite like Zebre to contribute to he scoring as well so may go Total Points - hoping for a line of 52.5 but that may be optimistic

One of my better weekends in a while.
So I'm gonna have another go at handicapping the Premiership, I'll edit it when the bookies put'em up.
Northampton Saints - 2.5 vs Harlequins. ( -3.5 )
Sale Sharks - 5.5 vs Bath. ( -7.5 )
Saracens - 11.5 vs Bristol Bears ( -14.5 )
Gloucester + 6.5 vs Leicester Tigers ( +1.5 )
Newcastle + 8.5 vs Exeter Chiefs ( +7.5 )
The only mis-match that I'm gonna grab as soon it comes out is Sarries. But also a few bankers here. I still think that Sarries win by 20+
Okidoki for now.
EDIT; The caps are out and I've corrected them by bold for the home team in brackets.
Be careful out there, and good luck

Saracens -14.5 for 3 units @ 1.85 Pokerbet,
Sale W, Saints W, Saracens W, Tigers W for 2 units @ 4.30 Pokerbet
The Chiefs should beat the Falcons too, but I'm holding off them till Sunday.

Edinburgh -10.5 (-9.5) v Benetton
Cardiff +4.5 (+4.5) v Stormers
Lions -13.5(-15.5) v Zebre
Bulls -14.5 v Connacht
Sharks -11.5 (-17.5) v Dragons
Leinster -8.5 (-9.5) v Munster
Glasgow -7.5 (-5.5) v Ulster
Ospreys -5.5 (-5.5) v Scarlets
The only big difference is the Sharks v Dragons and I suspect the error is on my side

Likely to be missing Peter O'Mahony and Jack O'Donoghue. I'd imagine they will have to play Beirne at 6 on Saturday

Yes, I read that they are going for scans. Still very happy to back the plus. I back coaches, not the players.

Bulls -12.5 to -14.5
Leinster -9.5 to -12.5
Points lines out at Pokerbet - 58.5 in Lions game and 53.5 in Sharks game - for some reason they still haven't priced up Bulls game

That 58.5 in the Lions game looks a bet but unfortunately it'll probably open a fair bit higher when released here in UK/Ire. Pricing of the lines early in the week are just cheap markers really as you cannot get much on them and basically you're just marking the bookmakers line for them. Last week I took Leinster -23 and minutes after placing the bet it was 24 then 25, it's very easy to manipulate the markets early on.
After being told the Leinster team this morning it has me wanting to take the Leinster minus 12/13. Very strong. Can see Munster front row getting destroyed Saturday

Taken a multi on 6 teams, very difficult seeing any of these being beaten at home, the only slight worry I would have would be Edinburgh at home to Benetton but they should have enough to get the job done at home. Rest are bankers in my opinion
4 units @ 1.10/1 (Boylesports)
Edinburgh
Lions
Bulls
Saracens
Sharks
Leinster

Cardiff lost 12-18 to a stronger Bulls side a few weeks back. They'll be pissed with the 22draw in Parma.
Stormers were game in filthy conditions last wkend - Roos was magnificent but is missing tonight.
I've gone Cardiff W on superbru
Bet: Cardiff +4.5pts

Stormers over 12.5 HT - I love this line!
4G pitch, Stormers hurting but on the up, Sasha back and the team are on the plane home to cheap wine and steak in Cape Town tomorrow.
I can readily see 2 tries and 2 pens from the Stormers in the first half -

Big rotation Clermont (No Falgoux, Faingaa, Simmons, Lee, Jauneau, Urdapilleta, Moala, Heriteau, Raka and Delguy) while Toulouse go strong with Dupont back at 9 and some fresh faces back.
No contest for me as Toulouse comes wounded and against a well rotated side they should run riots.

Cardiff have played 5 games against SA sides at home and haven't beaten this line once, always opting for the points on offer.
Stormers also haven't conceded more than 2 tries in 4 away games against Welsh opposition

All of the Top 14 are home side priced by bookies. Do you have any other insights on the matches beyond Toulouse ?
Like this team X will not loose...

We don't get TV cover here, but we do have their form stats accessible, but nothing beats first hand knowledge.

I'm the other matches I leaning towards Toulon (Castres with some rotation:entire front row + Ardron, Delaporte, PopelĂn, Dumora out) so I take rct -8 but just for 1u.
Bordeaux over 16.5 HT looks pretty nice but not available for me right now (their backline is pretty pretty strong) and the other I have noted is Pau but now is at @1.25 ...
Rct+lyon+Pau at @1.85 looks pretty nice for me as all of their opponents rotate or have some important absences

For me this match is 20-25 difference Toulouse side so no value there for me. If line move below 20.5 fire it but now its moving nowhere at -22.5

Heavy win Toulon, UBB delivers and the combo as well. But the biggest stake is for Toulouse so I hope for a big win.
