Super Rugby handicaps are out and here are comparisons with mine (apologies I left a minus out of Force game)
Chiefs -10.5 (-11.5) v Reds
Moana Pasifika -4.5 (+1.5) v Waratahs - the biggest difference, I think money will come for Moana at these levels
Fijian Drua +8.5 (+6.5)v Crusaders
Blues -4.5 (-4.5) v Hurricanes
Force -6.5 (-3.5) v Highlanders

Harlequins +25
Munster +11
Bordeaux -16
Leicester +12
I usually avoid punting Munster but will put a few beers on them to win @11/5
Players returning from layoffs for Munster and La Rochelle confidence may be down after a tough run

This article from the roar says it’s likely Bell and Tupou will be rested this weekend, and potentially Gleeson and Leota too.

Also some news about Reds players in there

4 points advantage to SR in my books, very disappointing season with relegation very close. Munster should be up to the task.

I don't bet totals generally.
But good call. Weather looks likely to be pretty poor for Hamilton on Friday night 57.5 is too high.

Points line starting to drop now in the chiefs v reds game, now at 56.5
If I tune in on Friday morning and I don’t see torrential rain I’m going to cancel my TV subscription and put my TV on FB marketplace.

Like Southpaw said.....
The forecast is this......
"light rain or no rain during the game. However heavier rain during the day and in the hours leading up till kickoff"
Cheers

Force v Highlanders - over 57.5 pts @ 5/6
I expected a line in mid 60s. Both sides play attacking rugby, day kick off, warm and dry.
Going max bet on this.

Line at 55.5 for chiefs now, I don’t know, feels like a trap either way.
Can see this game ending with 70 points or 40.
Have cashed out my unders play and will root for the overs.

Personally I’d go the other way, think with subs coming on, only going to get worse.
But good luck, will be rooting for your over!

Its a Friday bet so I fully expect to lose either way ...

EDIT: yup, when a team has tries denied and fails to score 5M out then you know your overs is f@cked .....

Lions OVER 7.5 1st half pts @ 8/10 (Will Hill)
Dry conditions and expecting a first half reaction from Lions after last weeks disaster with several key players back.

-Fiji Drua +8.5, 1.55 / Western Force to win 1.60. Pays 2.48, 2 units.
All action includes extra time.
While Fiji is not liked by some of my methods and systems. I will side with them, as I priced this game with the crusaders 1.67. Bookies came out with 1.42. That was all before team news. Team news is pretty ordinary for the crusaders.
The Western Force are liked by most of my methods and systems this week.

Strong compo Bath despite some rotation, Pau with big rotation. In my opinion line should be in the mid 30´s.

Over 57.5 @ 10/11 blues canes.
My day heavily depends on overs later in Perth, if that goes south it will be pain.

Welcome to my world!
I got over 44.5 in the Blues game when the score was 3-0 after 20min. Looking OK at half time but .......

Could be way off the mark but French teams if I remember are always hard to beat at home and even there 2nd teams are normally tough.
Enjoy the ruggers

It sucks enough losing a big bet after it getting off to a good start, so maybe calm down and keep the name calling to yourself.
