Super Rugby Trans-Tasman, Rainbow Cup, Premiership + other rugby 11-13 June

I came back down to earth with a bang this past weekend, It was one of those where I never liked anything strong but felt almost obliged to get involved after a good couple of weeks. The result was I leaked badly and gave plenty back o the books. I am seriously hectic a work as well and so could not get the newsletter out but that is likely a good thing given how the weekend went.

Below my handicap projections for the weekend ahead

Super Rugby TT

Hurricanes -7.5 v Reds -Hurricanes have to win to stay alive but deep down they know they are gone
Brumbies +7.5 v Highlanders - Highlanders (2nd) are ahead of Crusaders (3rd) on points difference, they have to push for a bonus point and points difference
Rebels +32.5 v Crusaders - a tough game to cap, Crusaders will know what they have to do and I expect they will get the job done
Blues -28.5 v Force - Blues need to win with a bonus point to guarantee their spot at the top of the log
Waratahs +19.5 v Chiefs - 2 teams with nothing to play for, points should flow

Rainbow Cup SA

Stormers -8.5 v Lions
Sharks +4.5 v Bulls - I think Sharks need to win with a bonus point without the Bulls getting a point

There is also Rainbow Cup Pro 14 and Gallagher Premiership action

Let the fight back begin

I may have missed the opening lines (like the minus 6 Highlanders South) but early lines at Sunbet to the right in brackets v my projections

Super Rugby TT

Hurricanes -7.5 v Reds (-12.5)
Brumbies +7.5 v Highlanders (+8.5)
Rebels +32.5 v Crusaders (+25.5)
Blues -28.5 v Force (-25.5)
Waratahs +19.5 v Chiefs (+21.5)

Early thoughts
5 points difference Canes v Reds, if the Reds are at full strength I will be on the plus
7 points difference Rebels game - I like the Crusaders -25.5 and think this line will edge closer to 30

Rainbow Cup SA

WSB the same as me on Stormers and a 3 point difference in Sharks game - not sure what to make of it though

Stormers -8.5 v Lions (-8.5)
Sharks +4.5 v Bulls (+1.5)

It is pretty quiet in here this week and looks like I am not the only one licking my wounds

Hurricanes v Reds Betting Preview

I have not read Couch's preview yet (I will though Couch I promise) and would be surprised if the name Asafao Aumua did not come up

I have taken his at 12/1 FTS

A couple more previews up

Brumbies v Highlanders Betting Preview

Finally settled on Highlanders minus

Rebels v Crusaders Betting Preview

I think this line moves before kick off and if the Highlanders do the business in Canberra it could stretch to the 30's

Blues v Force Betting Preview

Firing the 8/10 half time handicap (-10.5) at Playa

Sharks v Bulls betting preview

Hou by die blou!! Preference for Bulls to lead at the break.

If Highlanders hang onto bonus point Saders line going to move lads

As mentioned on the show I think this Crusaders team win by as many as they want/need to

I think they will try and put pressure on the Blues to get the bonus point win and reckon they will need to win by 40+ to do so

Got -26.5 and also some -30.5 at 11/10 and considering Saders overs

Added Rebels u16.5 at 8/10 WSB

and couldnt resist Crusaders over 54.5 at Sunbet

FIRE CRUSADERS FIRE

A massive hit for me in Crusaders match, 1 more try and all was good but they were just way too off their game

Final betting preview - Waratahs v Chiefs


Over 61.5

Taken over 9.5 tries at 1\1
