The latest Goodforthegame newsletter penned by @BrentGraham with best bets for the weekend 15th, 16th February and a 21/1 acca with @WorldSportsBet
The over 43.5 arrived in Scotland to continue the Newsletters solid start to the 6 Nations although personally I needed it just to pull square on the weekend.
THE HANDICAP X 2
With Super Rugby Pacific starting Friday mornings and the majority of Saturday URC teams only being announced Friday afternoon we decided to do 2 shows this week.
On Thursday night I caught up with The Mossman to talk Super Rugby Week 1 and on Friday evening it was the turn of The Oracle to have a look at the URC betting.
WEEKEND PLAYS
There are loads of rugby games this weekend and all Super Rugby bets are posted in this blog and URC games not featuring SA teams are covered here.

Points to flow on the Highveld
I was expecting a points line of around 52.5 in Joburg for the Lions v Stormers match and so have snaffled the early 48.5.
Conditions should be decent and while there has been some rain about the surface generally drains well and we have not had heavy showers.
The same would apply to Loftus for the Bulls v Sharks match. I said on the show yesterday that I expected a line of 56.5 and I would climb in at 52.5 and that is where the market opened. I was too slow though as was dozing off at around 2am when I saw it and when I woke up it was gone.
There is still some 53.5 at 17/20 at Sportingbet which I have taken and it is up to 55.5 in places.
BET: 5 units over 48.5 points in Lions v Stormers at 9/10 at Pokerbet (I think this moves into the low 50’s)
The Bulls have scored over 32 points in their last 5 home games against the Sharks and over 40 in their last 3. 32.5 looks too low
BET: 5 units Bulls over 32.5 points at 9/10 at Pokerbet
A 21/1 Win Only Acca!
3 teams I fancy might cause minor upsets
Moana Pasifika win 2/1
Stormers win 85/40
Benetton win 27/10
BET: 0.5 unit at 21/1 at WSB
