Squad was rotated and still accounted for a competitive Highlanders team. Will have a few back, whereas Canes will definitely lose JB for a few weeks. Big miss.
Also one to factor in - Blues 2 days extra rest and recover vs Canes who played Sunday, taken all way, i think their side looked knackered and don't have the depth Blues have.

As much as I'd like to see the great white Orcs get reamed here, I think they'll be having some of my money on the plus.

Ireland is looking very clinical and systems are humming, and they also have the chance to achieve the Super Grand Slam for the first time in the tournament's history.
Add to that the reports of upheaval in the England camp about the new defensive system.

And Brive -14.5 @1.8 for 1u as well. Big rotation Agen but Brive this year is underperforming so small confidence 1u.

wales vs france over 51.5 pts @ 5/6

Yeh an unnecessary sweat when 33 pts at the break, so many wasted chances but all good in the end, got the juices flowing for a mammoth rugby punting weekend ahead!

Good call mate, I was on Nevers straight 1-12 for a unit.Pablo wrote: Small interest tonight in Provence +8.5 @1.80 for 1u. Both teams going strong with almost no absences so this may be an arm wrestler.
But I took Nevers W @ 1.45 as 1st leg of 5 multis.
So I'm a cheerful chappie this morning, both of us

Over 1.5 Tries each team
Moana +15.5
Over 52.5

Ends on 52 points thanks to about 4 missed kicks, 1 to the right of the upright
Sickening.

'Just' the 6 points missed I think - but still, if he had kicked those then I would have won the in play overs. Grim!

Yep, 2 missed by Carter and 1 by Tuttle.
Missing a conversion to the right of the goal post 20 out is ridiculous man. Ugh.
Pickerill delivers his final unders in his last game. Had to be.

Nice on Nevers, today I'm making some combo with Béziers+3, MDM +8 and maybe u45.5 in Angouleme.
MDM +8 ha @1.85 for 1u as well

Well I had:
Over 8.5 FH points each team (ended 16-13)
And over 22.5 points each team
Ends 21-23
Edmund, the ginger goblin misses 3 kicks and sinks any hope of over 22.5
How you only score 5 points in the second half is ridiculous

Oyonnax is a crap in defence but I hope bad weather keeps this score in the unders.

Yes a missed conversion and penalty in the last 10 mins..... They lost the 2nd half 5 - 10, at home! Very poor.

Also little interest in Stade Toulousain +4.5 @1.813 1u. Nice compo on paper even without all internationals out, looks like Graou-Mallia will be their half pair so not disastrous Germain. Not Tuilagi for Usap big blow for them.

Have more respect for your money and stop throwing Pro2 'Bankers' into weekend multi's
League Leaders and 13 pt favourites,Vannes have just lost at home to Grenoble 10:17
Beziers, the 2nd placed team have had an early red card so are having their bellies tickled by Dax (50:20 with a few minutes to go)
The league may be interesting but there are too many odd results each weekend

This time face one of the best teams but this line is high IMO after lineups info (SF going strong, even without Barre but with Gabrillagues back. Laloi at 15 not the best news but compo looks strong on paper). SR going strong as well (apart from already known internationals absences plus maybe Thomas injured but with Hastoy back).
Also little interest in Stade Toulousain +4.5 @1.813 1u. Nice compo on paper even without all internationals out, looks like Graou-Mallia will be their half pair so not disastrous Germain. Not Tuilagi for Usap big blow for them.
Hey Pablo, where are you getting your lineup info from? I notice you were talking about this before the lineups were officially out so I'm interested in where you source this. Cheers

Hi Mossman, its a mix of info from training sesions (insider), rugbyrama and midol olympique news.

Agree with you Laraxwell, Béziers should have won this and Vannes as well. Rouen demolished Aurillac 38-13 when my predictions were a very tight match. Pro D2 is a very "odd" competition sometimes.

Main bet of super rugby weekend -
Blues win @ 8/11
Will drag my ass out of bed for that one.
Good luck all.

One of the innovations in that competition, which he said was going to be put forward to World Rugby for consideration, was the 9-point try, 9 points if it was initiated in your own half.

Nice.... might be an opportunity to partner up and swap info on Pro D2/Top 14.
I'm 37-23 (62%) in Pro D2 and I literally couldn't name a team in the league before this year (i.e. it's all just based on numbers).
Could boost that winning % a bit by predicting the lineups ahead of time and getting in front of the line moves.

Apparently the child missed a penalty in the final minute.
That’s 3/3 bad beats now due to missed kicks.

Spot on Quill that is exactly how the Varsity Cup 9 point try works
Phew Crusaders were awful and the newsletter bet arrives to claw some of Fridays losses back

The damage to me was hefty
Eish, now to try to pick myself up for the rest of the weekend comeback.
Am I going to learn this lesson ?
Not a chance, had that single result been inverted ? I'd be a (virtual) millionaire now
