ZEBRE v OSPREYS
Posted 30 November 09h31
Like the Cardiff v Dragons game this is not one I am terribly excited about. Zebre are +3.5 at home to the Ospreys and this came in from +7.5 after team news.
The points line of 47.5 catches my eye though and the weather looks cool but clear and overs would have arrived in the last 3 meetings between the sides.
BET: 3 Units over 47.5 at 10/11 at WSB
EDINBURGH v BENETTON
Posted 30 November 09h26
Edinburgh were priced at -9.5 but after team news they bounced out to -15.5.
Conditions look decent and I expect an open game but the points line of 49.5 looks well set.
I think the money for Edinburgh is on the mark and will back them to win this one by 16 points or more.
BET: 3 units Edinburgh -15.5 at 10/11 at Sportingbet*

CARDIFF v DRAGONS
Posted 29 November 14h45
Cardiff are -11.5 for this fixture and I have no strong feel for the game. It is not a bet I often take, but I am going to look at the winning margin here and bet that the home team win by 8-14 points inclusive.
BET: 2 Units, Cardiff by 8-14 points inclusive at 28/10 at Betxchange
GLASGOW WARRIORS v SCARLETS
Posted 29 November 09h01
The Warriors are double digit favourites here at -13.5 and we have a points line set at 47.5 with some rain forecast. URC matches between these sides tend to be quite low scoring and with some rain about I am going to go for unders 47.5 points which would have arrived in 4 of the last 5 URC meetings and would only have missed in the 5th by half a point.
BET: 3 Units, Under 47.5 points at 9/10 at WSB
ULSTER V LEINSTER
Posted 29 November 08h58
The handicap for this match is Ulster +4.5 or +5.5 depending on where you are betting. It has been fairly stable all week. The Total Points line at the time of writing is 42.5 and it looks as though conditions are going to be wet for this game.
Both teams are missing players to the Irish International squad and although Leinster are missing far more than Ulster they do have incredible depth in their squad. Ulster have won two of their last 3 against Leinster at home and they have a 100% home record this season.
I think there is some value in an Ulster win.
BET: 2 Units, Ulster win at 18/10 at Betway*
