The latest Goodforthegame newsletter penned by @BrentGraham with best bets for the weekend 21st to 22nd February including Six Nations Rugby and the T20 Cricket World Cup
Last weekend was one I would rather forget with poor showings in both the Six Nations and Super Rugby. Fortunately, this weekend got off to a decent start hitting the under 67.5 in Wellington (what a nervous finish though after having already mentally banked the cash) and Waratahs -13.5 in Sydney.
This weekend the focus is on rugby of course and we even have a lone URC local derby to get involved in. I will also be keeping a close eye on Couch Critics T20 previews and he has already hit a few cracking double digit winners.

WEEKEND PLAYS
Time to go to work!
You can read Couch Critics preview of the weekends T20 Super Eights action here and this one follows a business theme.
He has hit a few Player of the Match picks including Bosch at 12/1 against the UAE and I am going to tail him in tomorrows India v South Africa match
Player of the Match – V Chakravarthy@ 1/1 with Pokerbet*
“Varun can boast with a bowling average of 6.8 in the tournament to date. He is destined to climb his way to the top of the corporate ladder (leading wicket taker charts) and I see him starting his climb against the Saffas.”

Wales and a cold sweat
I woke up drenched in sweat in the early hours of this morning. It is hot in Joburg but I think it was the thought of having to publicly post my strongest fancy of the weekend namely Wales +18.5.
They have been so poor in recent weeks but I just saw a flicker of something against France and I am hopeful that Scotland might drop the intensity a bit after that great win over England. I think it was Nathan who mentioned this on the show and a quick look at recent history suggests there could be some merit here.
BET: 3 units (1-5) Wales +18.5 at 19/20 at WSB
