I also hit unders in the Bledisloe but never felt safe until the 78th minute!
Sadly the 10/1 newsletter acca missed with Ulster failing to reach 25 points.
Edinburgh points was also a bad loss for me but overall I showed a small profit and we should never be complaining about that.

Bulls -12.5 v Ulster
Dragons +7.5 v Sharks
Benetton +14.5 v Leinster

Find it hard to measure some of the SA teams, Especially Sharks. After losing like they did last week I would normally think there would be some stern talk this week to illicit a reaction but I'm not sure this is something that would happen with the Sharks. I need to look a bit further at the Zebre v Stormers game but initial lean would be to stormers.

Big stake here, weather looks horrible in Nelson before and during the match. With this conditions I'd put the line around 44-45 points so some valué here. They play for the Shield as well, so for me this is unders.

I have taken some of Auckland +12. Usually oppose them but with weather being poor I'm hoping they can stay in it.

Too many points for a wet wet match but a big stake win is a big stake win.

Now a little bit of gamble: Racing played almost unchanged for 4 weeks in a row so they should make some rotation (this is my opinion based on how french rugby is managed). Bad timming as they visit the recently promoted Vannes (that rotated heavily against Toulon last weekend). For me Vannes dnb @2 may be the play here, they showed some spirit against SF and ST, and even Toulon, and defeated Lou at home so no the "easy" match everybody expected before the season kickoff.

Could be an indication that bookies aren't sure how to price. They will let you bet on rubbish as long as they have the edge

19-7 at the break to the Irish and taking some o58.5 at WSB as reckon it could open up
Ireland so much more clinical on attack

How bad are the Cheetahs though? Hammered by the Force who I think were +10.5
Going to be setting up tonights show soon and I think a returning guest will be welcomed back by many
Looking at the URC no real handicap movement but we have points lines for the 2 Friday night games
Cardiff v Glasgow @ 47.5
Scarlets v Connacht @ 48.5

Good weather, Care back at 9 and Smith at 15 (Halfpenny is an overs killer). For me this should be in the 60 points mark.

Was waiting for this one and in my mind I would have taken anything below 60. I have missed the early number so it's a choice between 56 or 57 at a better price. I've taken the o57 at a better price.
Watch this land on 57:silly:

SR -14.5 @1.793 just for 1u waiting for lineups or more info, if you have team points now SR overs at 34.5 is the best bet here for 2u. Good weather expected, some rain after the match (around 7pm)

2 units Zebre Win @ 3.30 ditto
I don't think the Stormers will keep up with a fresh young, gung-ho, Italian side with their tails up.
I will put something on the 8+ or 13+ market when they're available too, as a slaughter is quite possible imo.
3 units Northampton Saints 13+ @ 1.96 Sunbet. Harlequins are decimated with injuries.

Sharks -7.5 at 0.93/1
It looks to me like the 'Dregs' may have gone up a notch or two this season and were better than the Leinster score line suggests. They'll be pissed off that they failed to come away with points from quite a few chances in that 1st half. Looking forward to this one!

After some thought I have taken stock of -12.5
Jameson I also think Dragons have improved a bit but I like the Sharks team selected to get the job done

Wales Italy over 42.5 total pts @ 5/6
42 pts when these 2 sides met in Cardiff, roof was on but was heavy underfoot. Good pitch at Athlone with hot and dry conditions, think this is a runner.

Ulster make big rotation.
Leinster overs when available as well, strongest team possible.

5-5 at HT.
Honestly, I feel sorry for the camera crew.
Also this touch judge is a joke. Player basically in the stand and doesn’t raise his flag. It’s amateur at best, amazed this is financially sustainable for the future.
