The reason I couldn't watch much was my poker schools year end tournament and I took that down so overall a cracking weekend
Here are my Currie Cup handicap projections ahead of this weekend
WP -21.5 v Pumas
Cheetahs +3.5 v Lions
Sharks +4.5 v Bulls
Not confident picks and interested to know where you think I have gone wrong?
International rugby is done for a while but the Heineken Champions Cup and Challenge Cup start this weekend so there is plenty of quality live rugby
Look forward to and appreciate your contributions in this thread

Not a lot of movement from the early lines - looking at Sunbet Cheetahs now +2.5, WP -23.5 and Sharks +2.5 - Betx pretty stable
This looks like it is going to be a weekend of points lines for me

Even just how many players have returned to which club would be good.
There's very little news out there that I can find, and the returning internationals make a massive change to a team's form..
Even Rugby Pass (RPI) seem to be stuck in a time warp - listing last years teams and players still.
Anyone know anything ?

HI Kirky
All of them are now back but reckon Argentinians won't be playing this week end as might have arrived late in Europe and/or quarantine in the UK.
I did a list of all top 14 teams impacted by international rugby several weeks ago (should be easy to find in a rugby topic)
For the other countries, suggest you take the original list of selected players and you will get your list quite easily

Logged on to post this too.
I've had a modest play - tempered by the fact both Bath Flyhalves (Preistland & Matavesi) both had head knocks last weekend so could be out.
If so Redpath likely to start at 10.

Thanks Bradie,
Yes, I was looking at the list you provided a few weeks ago, which was all Pro 14 teams. I noted them carefully at the time so still have that reference - thanks again for that
I was more specifically looking for the French Top 14 and UK Premiership players. But this will become apparent soon I hope, but will bear in mind the Argentinian quarantine as you suggest.
Thanks again

Thanks again Bradie. I didn't think to go back to the actual page post on the forum - was relying on my notes made at the time, but the forum page on this link gives the full story - what I was struggling to assemble
Cheers mate, break a leg on the punting - I find your info to be superb on the European tournaments

Do you guys know the worth of the new players lineup by Pumas? I have never heard about some of them

Good XV, good bench with England internationals (Ford, Youngs, Genge)
Brive with bad team in England. Rape, GL. Expect hc on matchday around 20+

Tonight I will tentatively go for the unders in the WP match, bearing in mind did my nuts in Durban last time the Pumas were on their travels at 56.5
My other play this evening will be Ulster on the best plus , I've seen some plus 5.5 , Toulouse superb but hoping , the last bet will be Northampton, they've been awful but as the panel mentioned I'm hoping they could turn the tide soon and hoping I'm on the wave that does it .

I watch late at night and I note my wife listening in now.
I think she enjoys the accents!
We honeymooned in Capetown, Franschhoek and Hermanus Bay and the memories are fond.
Connacht are not starting with Bundee Aki and no sign of Quinn Roux in the match squad.
So going with Racing -15.5pts in a single
Also an AH accumulator with:
Racing -9.5
Toulon -3.5
Dragons +12.5
Northampton +7.5
Leicester -16.5
Cardiff ML
7.4/1 Bet 365
Final play will be Lions on the board
I can't have the Cheetahs without Ruan Pienaar
Good Luck all

9-9 at HT. Both teams are struggling to hold on to the ball for more than 3 phases.

Whitehouse and his TMO seemed to have something against Bordeaux in the 2nd half.
Saints their own worse enemy, butchering countless attacks. They're so low on confidence - forgotten how to win.

Points line at 47.5 - going overs for sure, with good weather predicted.
Tryscorers:
Penaud, Raka and Pato for Clermont - wouldn’t be surprised if any of them scored a double.
Malins, Earl or Piers O Conner for Bristol

Genuinely a mind bending, shape shifting, unpredictable referee. With phantom knock ons, missed knock ons, bizarre penalties - anything can happen.
DO NOT BET ON HIS GAMES.

Bristol v Clermont Over 47.5
Cheetahs v lions over 51.5
Double at 2.86-1
And then a double of “either team to win by 7 points or less”
Double at 4.83 - 1

Think Wasps front 5 will be far too strong, particularly late in the game.
Wasps -8 @ evens

Currently 0-0 after 16 mins. Both goal keepers having a quiet game so far.
Thoroughly enjoying the Romaine Poite show. Must be paid per blow.
