NZ -27.5 and England -28.5 look like a banker double to me.NZ were 3/1 to win the Nations Championship before the weekend. They’ll take all five points against Wales, and I fancy them to beat England next week. If the Boks beat France without a bonus point or lose, NZ at 3/1 would look like great outright value. Still can’t see myself cheering for the All Blacks though.

I suspect we will get 7/2 New Zealand now and while I am on already I think now is the time to get on if you are prepared to cheer for them. 
The reason is that the betting could change alot if SA get beat by Framce and I cannot see New Zealand getting anything but a full house against Wales 
If they are still level after this week I don't see the All Black price changing much 

I see 3 handicaps are out, all within 2 points of mine - the more one sided games to come though and those are tougher to cap 

France +5.5 v SA 
Italy +10.5 v Argentina 
Scotland -6.5 v Australia

Away from betting for a minute lads 

One of our forum members and sometimes show guest Darren has put together a rugby quiz game 

7 questions a day and pretty cool - although I finished in the bottom 10%

I see those bastard bookies are trying to tempt me in to Wales +31.5. Looking at past results, its been over 20 years since the Darkness gave us a proper 50 point winning margin bumming. and more often than not we have managed to stay within that handicap.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm clutching at straws? lol

31.5 is a huge handicap but I think the main danger is if New Zealand do start running away with it they are unlikely to take their foot off the gas given the possible importance of points difference 

South I see points down to 58.5 in France

Been somewhat off form and keeping stakes low , time to be gelded perhaps. 

Really like the unders tonight and am under 58.5 . The handicap looks tricky and I was hoping for plus 9.5 considering the French re-shuffle. Will standby on that and maybe look for an in running plus .

Surely the Frogs are going to get 'twatted' this evening?

SA -7.5 @10/11

Edit: Or not. Looks like the officials want France to win!

What a match, that was seriously tense 

Unders arrives easily in the end but bigger for me is that New Zealand now have their destiny in their own hands

I hate betting against my beloved Springboks, but thank God I placed that bet on Thursday morning! And the final’s in London. France play Argentina next week and should top the North pool. If it’s the All Blacks against France in London, I can only see one winner there.

Likewise, it was tough pulling for the French although it certainly wasn't the 1st time for me. 

Blog updated with bet in Italy v Argentina (0ver 54.5 at 17/20 but not confident and the altest outright odds 

NZL 15/10 won't hold for long I don't think

Blog updated with bet in England v Japan 

Over 9.5 tries at 0.87/1 - I prefer this to points at 68.5

As a long suffering Welshman, I have to go Wales +32.5 @10/11

Obviously we have to 'front up' for the full 80 but I'll be gutted if we lose by more than that.

Pray for me!

Cymru am byth !!

geez Piardi had a shocker. I called him out last month in URC saying he's had a shocker 2026 but last night he took it to a whole new level.

I'd made my profits by half-time on 5/2 both teams to get a yellow (gift price in retrospect), i went to back boks at ht, they were +3 @ 10/11, submitted, bookie suspended for some reason, and came back at +1. I left it and thank goodness as manie shocker conversion would have been painful.

Onto today, won't get to watch much live, will add some picks later on.
