Currie Cup and European Cup this week.
The Currie Cup regular season ends and I know caps have been out for a while but I have not looked at them so mine below and then I will do an immediate comparison with actual caps
Pumas +10.5 v Lions - an interesting game as the Pumas can in theory make the playoffs at the expense of either the Lions or Bulls, suspect I could be well out with this cap
Griquas +12.5 v Sharks - the Sharks should wrap 2nd place up
Bulls +7.5 v WP - Bulls would likely have qualified by kickoff but could possibly need a bonus point, WP may need a bonus point to go back top

Pumas +10.5 v Lions - close, Betx 7.5, WSB 8.5
Griquas +12.5 v Sharks - close, Betx 14.5, WSB 13.5, I originally went 14.5 but then thought it might be too high
Bulls +7.5 - closeish, Betx 9.5 WSB 10.5
Not sure if there has been any movement since the caps came out?

Scared money dont make money! BOOM!

BetX opened on Pumas +6.5 v Lions, Griquas +14.5 v Sharks & Bulls +7.5 v WP
WSB looks the same as when it opened

Just a question:
Are we going to be following the Europeans Champion Cup and the Challenge Cup on GFTG ?
They both start Friday and appear to be massive competitions with the finest of the European teams playing.
I've just accepted Superbru invitations and will probably be placing some bets too, after I get a feel for them.
Anybody ? Brent ? Oracle ? Hanrick ? Hein ? ... ?
Please let us know...
Cheers, Kirky.

Rugby champs over so boks should be back in action for the unions
WP -7.5 & Lions -6.5 for me
Just remember contracted Boks are not allowed to play in the Currie Cup. Not sure who is contracted though.
Still struggling to get a complete list of contracted Springboks from Mr. Google but from this morning's paper the following players trained with their unions already:
Wilco Louw
Bongi Mbonambi
Sikhumbuzo Notshe
Marco van Staden
Trevor Nyakane
Elton Jantjies
Embrose Papier
Damian Willemse

Southland +13.5 HT handicap vs Auckland.
Southland have covered 5 of the last 6 HT handicaps and have only had the wheels come off in the second half. Couple that with Auckland making 8 changes from the game on the weekend, with 6 of those coming in the forward pack. Southland will be itching to put in a performance at home after a miserable season.

Just a warning. Auckland have kept their 1st choice backline the same, and Southland has replaced their WHOLE backline with new players.

The Over under line sticks out like a sore thumb. 51.5 is really generous considering every HB bar week 1 has cleared this number with ease. Tasman prob the in form team of the Mitre 10 cup and Hawksbay are no slouches scoring tries. Hawksbay also have this special defensive pattern were they refuse to tackle.

Think most books only price up following the lineups being released.
(Many teams, in particular the French sides, don't care a jot about this competition, so often field much weakened teams).
On a separate note - anyone else that uses oddschecker.com having issues in the last few days with the markets loading......?

Will have a big impact on certain matches.
Leinster have expectedly named an all but full strength team vs Wasps tomorrow night.
Wasps team perhaps better than expected with Brad Shields, Willie Le Roux & Lima Sopoaga all named.
Although I expect Leinster to dominate them up front (plus the weather forecast looks grim - advantage Leinster for me) so have taken Leinster -14
I see the money is coming for the home team, cap now -16 or -17
Other one that catches my attention at this point is Scarlets v Racing.
Scarlets have several injuries in their pack and they are an expansive/offloading team who are much better suited to dry conditions.
Going to wait for lineups before going too large, but have taken a chunk of Racing +3, as I think their pack will overpower the Scarlets.
On the (Champions Cup) outright markets, have put a couple of beers on some long odds selections:
Top Try Scorer - Steff Evans (Scarlets) @ 151
Is 151/1 with Boyle Sports, 23/1 with other books.
Hasn't featured much this term for the Scarlets as coming back from injury, but he has found form with 'Scarlets A' and Pivac has said he will be involved this weekend. (Tom Prydie, who has been starting ahead of Evans was injured last week also).
Whether they can repeat last years efforts of going deep into the tournament (making the semi's) is debatable - but at these odds its worth a nudge for me.
Tournament winner - Lyon @ 150/1
Bradie will probably laugh at me saying no chance, he's probably right
But IMO they have the potential to be "last years La Rochelle", who made it out of their pool in their first year in the competition.
Once you make it out of your pool, you never know from there.

Know there is rain about but Pumas need to outscore Lions if they want to reach the semi finals, rain should suit their bigger pack & driving maul

Yep looked on many weather sites and it does seem that the rain is staying away...over 52.5 points if so...

For the 2 Friday games the model loves the Perpignan +14.5. Seeing as they picked a young side it is probably not the best pick. In the other game it had Leinster -18.94 so believe all the value is gone there now.
Will check out some of the other Challenge Cup games if they are indeed starting to appear locally.

against Yenisey STM at 1.91 as well.
It is still a strong La Rochelle team even though they have Ihaia West and Victor Vito on the bench. I'm not exactly expecting much from that russian team

The Agen squad is a second / third choice teamSirCharlesZA wrote: Agen 31.5 dog vs Quinns. Sounds like alot of points to me. Anyone seen the sides?
Priority to the Top 14, weather will be more than OK in Twickenham so even if the cap is very high, this could end up in a massive loss for Agen

Flicked TV on last night to see this game was on, think it was about 15min to go, Lions 33pts, easy kickable penalty. Changed channels as was injury delay, checked score later. How did Lions end on 33?! So stiff.
Have had a few weeks off all sports and betting but like a few in Europe today and will post later.

Was staggered myself....if they would have kicked a penalty..( they had 2 chances) then it would have been 15 points ahead, and would have wrapped the game up. It was a crazy decision...anyway
