South Africa v New Zealand Third Test, Currie Cup Semi-Finals, Argentina v Austr

I think I poisoned the Understaker by putting that one in the newsletter 

Weather still much the same, windy, fairly cold and overcast 

 

Sigh, on the back foot , but smallish bet on the Cannucks , I thought I was gone then there was hope and then two tries in 2 minutes sticks me out grrrr . Off to the pub and I will be well oiled by the time kick off arrives !! 

Sticking to gut although line did creep up -

over 54.5 pts @ 5/6
man of match Marx @ 14/1

Final  bets added to SA v NZL preview 

Esterhuizen last RSA try at 16/1

Holland last NZL try at 33/1 

What a great test match 

Happy the Boks did the business after an incredible start  by the All Blacks 

The All Blacks over 22.5 sneaks in thank goodness 

On the overs in Argentina but not sure I am going to make the game 

Coil well done on the All Blacks plus 

Best game of the 3 by a mile. 

Arg over 24.5
Aus over 27.5
1st half over 23.5
2nd half over 23.5

bet builder @ 2/1
 

Nice work on the bet builder South 
Overs lands to put me ahead for the weekend 
@JacquesT the draw came just in the wrong game 

Going to look at the Currie Cup now

Griquas -9.5 at 10/11 

Quite like Griquas HT/FT @ 1.76 with SunBet here. Griquas have led at half-time in every Currie Cup game this season, and have gone on to win all but one — that defeat coming against Province on Matchday 1. Since then, they’ve been consistently getting themselves in front early and seeing the job through. Obviously, this is a semi-final, so nerves could play a part, and the weather could also dampen things and make for a scrappier game. But if Griquas handle the occasion and produce anything close to the level they’ve shown throughout the campaign, I can’t see why they can’t repeat that HT/FT pattern again today. 1.76 looks a decent price to me. 

Had a quick look around and that looks a solid price BB, as short as 6/10 elsewhere

Just laughed when I saw the result this morning Brent! How the Aussies couldn't get the win against 13 men in the last 10 minutes is just mind boggling. I was on the overs and that just scraped through with no points being scored in the last 10. 

Griquas minus trots up but man after banking the unders at the break in Cheetahs game (13 points in 1st half) I had to sweat to get it but overall a good weekend with both tests and CC delivering profit 

Will get the new thread open shortly
