6 Nations Round 2, Super Rugby Wk 1 + other rugby 9-15 Feb

A poor start to the 6 Nations for me. 
I got off to a decent start hitting under 50.5 in France but the overs in Italy and Wales plus were never in the running 

Onto this week and we have handicaps 

• Ireland -19.5 v Italy
• Scotland +8.5 v England
• Wales +28.5 v France

I clean forgot about Super Rugby - below are the current handicaps 

Blues v Chiefs should be a cracker 

• Highlanders +8.5 v Crusaders
• Waratahs +1.5 v Reds
• Fijian Drua -8.5 v Moana Pasifika
• Blues +3.5 v Chiefs
• Western Force +2.5 v Brumbies

All over Italy +19.5. Took 1 unit Italy win @11/1 as well. Price just too big given current form of both teams.

Welsh cap now at +31.5
Scotland in to +7.5

Money for Force and Waratahs. Early value gone. I reckon both have strong winning chances. One can't be over reliant on pre-season warm-up results, Blues and Chiefs both had good hit outs this past weekend. Leaning towards Crusaders -8.5 as I feel this is likely a double digit winning margin coming up.

Drua v Moana: Moana +8.5  would have arrived in the last 5 meetings between the teams. 

like a bit of HT/FT = Italy/Ireland @ 13/2

Italians started well last week and can do again in Dublin. 

Round one super rugby team and officials are out. As usual looking for points, and with some possible rain about in a few games it’s game one under the roof I’m getting involved in as first bet -

Highlanders v Saders
Over 56.5 pts @ 9/10 

one of the best overs ref and decent backlines on both sides, while Saders bench is really stacked for a good 2nd half flourish. 

 

Chiefs without McKenzie, Sititi, Carter, Narawa and Simon Parker. Blues win 18/10. Taking some +4.5 as well. Big things expected from the 10-12 of Perofeta and Akhi for the Blues.

Interesting, never been a fan of Perofeta, possibly unfair as he’s been blighted with injuries but just never been the same attacking threat after first couple seasons. Will give him another chance, but this game if weather forecast improves will be an overs punt for me.

1st bet I am following Jacques and The Mossman who I touched sides with while getting Thursdays panel together 

Blues win at 35/20
