The latest Goodforthegame newsletter penned by @BrentGraham with best bets for the weekend 24th to 26th April including the United Rugby Championship
My main bet was unders in Ulster v Leinster at 49.5 last week and after looking strong at half time it eventually went down by the narrowest of margins albeit with 10 minutes still to play. It was agony to watch those touchline conversions sail through the posts.
The real disappointment for me though was in the PSL where Kaizer Chiefs failed to deliver away to Polokwane. I follow the PSL quite closely but the moment I stick my head out with a bet it gets cut off. It’s the Soweto derby this weekend and I am not going to put a bet up this time but will share one of the most surprising stats below.
This week we have the Super Round of Super Rugby Pacific taking place in Christchurch at the new indoor stadium and all bets will be posted in the SRP blog.
The URC is getting very close to the playoffs and all bets will be posted here.

WEEKEND PLAYS
Edinburgh to roll the Sharks
Both of these sides are out of contention for the top 8 and although Edinburgh haven’t been playing well I think they are value to win the game. I took 17/10 when I updated the blog this morning and it has come in slightly to 31/20.
BET: 2 units Edinburgh win at 31/20 at Betxchange

Soweto Derby – a draw is overdue
Pirates and Chiefs meet on Sunday in a match that regularly daws 90000 spectators.
Pirates have won the last 5 league meetings including a 3-0 win earlier this season but the incredible stat to me is that these sides have not played out a draw in 13 PSL matches as there was a time a decade or so back that they played out 9 draws in 14 matches.
The draw is 28/10 …… just saying
Highlights on GFTG
- There is UFC action this weekend and this preview is courtesy of WSB
- Chris previews Sundays PSL which includes Pirates v Chiefs
- It is FA Cup semi-final weekend and Chris previews both matches
- Much to Oracles disgust I have not watched any IPL but Chris keeps an eye on it
Have a good weekend everyone
Cheers
