Cheers Brent. Will wait for team announcements, but like the following early:

Lions +3.5 - Have done well since that defeat to the Stormers just before Christmas, a game they could have won as well. Ospreys not that convincing lately. Will take Lions for the win. 

Edinburgh -0.5 Just can't see the Bulls winning this one away from home. 

Dragons +20.5 - Dragons results much better lately and Munster haven't exactly been winning by cricket scores this season. Sure the Dragons can keep it under 20. I would cap this at +14.5

Sharks +10.5 - This has arrived in 7 out of the 8 times the two teams have met in the URC. Mostly messy derby games with under 50 points. 

Any ideas why money continues to come for the Bulls? I really don’t get it. 

I never capped the games but reckon Bulls should be choice 

Guys THE HANDICAP  is back tonight live at 21h00

Liking the look of these:

Ospreys -2.5
Edinburgh W
Stormers -10.5
(Ranked according to confidence level from most to least)

Pablo , anything catching your eye in France this weekend ? 

Agen v Colomiers on Youtube this evening. I have no idea but weather looks dry in the S of France so will go overs @ 46.5

EDIT: 1st loss of the weekend incoming - again!

Blog updated with handicaps, points and weather as well as the 1st bet 

Edinburgh win at 29/20 

edinburgh v bulls - OVER 38.5 pts @ 5/6

Hi Rassie, nothing for tonight. Quiet weekend for me I guess.

Money coming for Edinburgh, cap into -1.5 and outright win 8/10 now. Staying with my early calls. Still fancy the Lions to win this evening despite them playing away from home. Dragons cap shortened to +16.5, if weather is horrible this evening, I still think this might be a point or 3 too high.

ATC Edinburgh, Lions and Ospreys +16.5 works out to around 8.5/1
Edinburgh, Lions +4.5, Ospreys +16.5 just short of 5.5/1

Will play around with them. 

Marco van Staden named as reserve hooker but Pokerbet and similar books haven't adjusted their price on him. Can only get a six pack on but better than nothing.

MVS Bulls last try scorer @ 18/1

Japan League One
Kobe -11.5 vs Canon 
Wild Knights -13.5 vs Suntory

@pablo we all need quite ones every now and again 

A small 1-12 double interest for me at 3.6/1 

Ospreys 1-12 
Edinburgh 1-12 

Ospreys game - oh no, overs is 39.5. Its windy but not much in the way of rain around 1 hour before KO.

EDIT: I've won an overs bet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Japan League 1

Kobelco Steelers -11.5 @1.9
Wild Knights -13.5 @1.9

Well I was right about the close games but just couldn't find the right team 1-12 

Looking forward to Stormers v Sharks later 

Morning Brent,

Close call yesterday. I really like the Sharks to beat the Stormers Brent. I was quick on an early 5/1 shot.
I just feel they would want it more.

Cheers Riaan I also like them 

Blog updated with Friday wrap and a 22/1 play 

Stormers/Sharks HT/FT at 22/1
