Hence team lineups will be key, as those unable to make the knockout stages will almost certainly rest players.
Current Champions Cup caps on BF:
Bath -6 vs Quins
La Rochelle -9 vs Sale Sharks
Clermont - 8 vs Ulster
Connacht +7 vs Toulouse
Glasgow +6 vs Exeter
Gloucester -12 vs Montpellier
Leinster -31 vs Lyon
Northampton -17 vs Benetton
Racing 92 -11 vs Munster
No prices yet for Ospreys v Sarries, I presume because Sarries may choose to play some of their first team
My early bets:
Northampton -15
Cap since moved a couple of points. Saints still have a decent shot at progressing but will realistically need a try bonus point.
Benetton cant progress so even if they bring a strong team I cant see them being that motivated.
Toulouse -6
Big injury crisis at Connacht, can see them being overpowered by the French team's big pack.
Lastly an acca with all the following teams to win @ 2.75:
Clermont
Toulouse
Racing 92
Northampton

My (gimme) acca for Champions Cup:
Ulster +8.5 / Toulouse -4.5 / Exeter -2.5 @ 6.19 with Sunbet.
Climbs to 7.62 if you include the Racing win, but that's on Sunday so no need to commit now.
Ulster can go beat Clermont, and if you change the + for a win, it rises to 11.74 Definitely good for a (beer money) punt imo.
Challenge Cup should be up today, bound to be some good value there too

But I suppose it's tuff for them too, sloshing around in mud over their ankles week after week, bashing into each other and trying to remember which competition they're actually playing in on Saturday
Anyway chin-up chaps - only 20 more sleeps.
Oh yeah - Sarries to beat Ospreys by 40+ points (bookies gonna go -28.5).

Each team over 1.5 tries @ 1.75
Over 1.5 tries in each half @ 1.75
Each team to score a try in each half @ 3
Still waiting on the Challenge Cup odds as I have targeted a game but nothing out yet

Worcester should destroy this Russian team that did not play for a month and Warriors need a huge win as average could be important to qualify.
They won by 43 back in November, good forecast ahead and last year the Russian got smahed back to back by Bristol with more than 100 points scored in the last game

Was in the pub when teams were announced, so only seen them this morning. Think I recognise about 2 or 3 names on Sarries list. Perhaps they've put in their B-reserves, which should still be enuff to beat Ospreys by 14 despite Alun Wyn Jones being back.Northerner wrote:

Think Leinster at some point go soft today -
Lyon over 10.5 pts @ 10/11
