Onto this week and the Lions play SA "A" and the Stormers their final action before the test series
There is also a fair amount of international action starting with Australia v France 2nd test on Tuesday - latest handicap below
Australia -9.5 v France
There are 3 Currie Cup fixtures on the weekend - here are my handicap projections
Sharks -8.5 v Pumas
Griquas +9.5 v Bulls
Lions -9.5 v Cheetahs
Have a good one and lets hit those books hard

Seattle Seawolves vs NOLA Gold
The Gold are flying high after their huge win away to LA Giltinis (top of the Western Conference). They are third in the Eastern Conference, 5 points behind New York, which means they need a bonus point win to get to second, which takes them to the play-offs.
Seattle aren’t in great form. They lost their last 7 matches and they won only 2 in 14 games.
NOLA are on a four-game winning streak and only a win will do. If the Gold can move the heavyweight Seawolves pack around they should find the space they need to put tries on the board and get the result they need.
Bet: NOLA Gold -5.5 @1.81

Not sure what the opening caps for the Currie Cup were but here is how the current caps compare to mine
Sharks -8.5 v Pumas (-7.5)
Griquas +9.5 v Bulls (+10.5)
Lions -9.5 v Cheetahs (-6.5)
Only difference is the Cheetahs game and I am leaning to the -6.5 early doors

Handicaps and points lines look well set to me, I think it will be close - either team by 7 or less

Don't know why Wales are still favourites vs Argentina. Pumas played 50min with 14 men, and against further dubious referee calls.
Expecting them to get better this week - Pumas win @ 12/10

Tempted on overs but it’s not highveld and wonder if the game flows like others?

I will not back the Wallabies for the foreseeable future as they are hopeless, but I agree with Hanrick the changes are for the better while the French have made a host of changes too but I'm not sure what difference it will make to them.
Weather interesting in hamilton ... I am going low on the Fiji points line though at around 13 points.
In Ct i'll be going low on total points at 72.5 .

I knew this was the bet of the weekend as soon as I saw your post. Unfortunately I was already too committed to make a play. Well done sir.
