URC Round 12, Super Rugby Rd 3, Varsity Cup Rd 2 + other rugby 23 Feb to 1 Mar

I gave away Friday profits in Super Rugby after a fast start but overall a good weekend for me hitting profit in all 3 6 Nations games with the 4/1 Ireland win the highlight - although Wales so nearly delivered at 9/1 

Six Nations takes a break but we have a full house of URC, the 3rd round of Super Rugby, Top 14 and some Varsity Cup which we can cover in this thread 

The Super Rugby blog is up and running and here are my projected handicaps 

Moana Pasifika -3.5 v Western Force
Queensland Reds -4.5 v Highlanders
Fijian Drua +10.5 v Hurricanes
Chiefs -8.5 v Crusaders
Brumbies -2.5 v Blues

The URC blog is also on the go and early betting should follow tomorrow 

SRP Blog Updated with opening handicaps - in brackets next to mine 

Moana Pasifika -3.5 (-1.5) v Western Force
Queensland Reds -4.5 (+0.5) v Highlanders
Fijian Drua +10.5 (+14.5) v Hurricanes
Chiefs -8.5 (-8.5) v Crusaders
Brumbies -2.5 (-7.5) v Blues


 A 5 point difference in the Reds and Brumbies games and 4 in the Drua. I would be surprised if the line in the Reds and Blues games did not move closer to mine during the week. 

I had my predicted caps as follows, not too much in it looking at yours and what came out.

Moana Pasifika -0.5 v Western Force
Queensland Reds +3.5 v Highlanders
Fijian Drua +12.5 v Hurricanes
Chiefs -7.5 v Crusaders
Brumbies -5.5 v Blues

1st Varsity Cup match priced up. I don't know where the books got 19 from. This can easily be 50.

Flying into Pukke -19.5 @ 17/20

Pukke by 71 points or more @ 55/1. Crazy price

Adding Pukke over 50.5 points @ 9/10

Been trying to find Pukke game with UK bookies but they seem to be dodging it. And Hollywood not got it in SA.

where’s the places to get on shaft?

I think Sunbet are pretty decent with VC, likewise the bookies I am funded with at the moment didn't have it - those that did took a right, royal pounding

Sunbet, Mbet, Gbets, Pokerbet all had the Pukke match up. 

Early thoughts ahead of tomorrows Super Rugby team announcements:

Moana should beat the Force, reckon strongest XV will be back this weekend. Moana -2.5 cap the play. 

Half unit on Drua win @ 11/2 Churchill Park not an easy place to visit and NZ teams have been rolled here before.

Reds v Highlanders. Highlanders look to have improved from last season, but their form away from home has been shocking the last few seasons. Not getting involved.

Chiefs v Crusaders. Chiefs all the way, reckon 8.5 is still value. Might end up 13+. McKenzie also rumored to start this weekend. Chiefs -12.5 @29/20    

Brumbies v Blues. I've also got this around 7.5/8.5 so no play at this moment. 

Has anyone seen any other sportsbooks that offer Anytime Tryscorer odds on Rugby League?

Currently I have;

Gbets
Sunbet
Pokerbet
Hollywoodbets
Bet.co.za

Are there any others I am missing?
