Wales v New Zealand, Scotland v Tonga, NPC, Gallagher Prem, Top 14 29-31 Oct

Bay Of Plenty vs Waikato
BoP -2.5 (1.9 on WSB) early doors look like great value! Doubt it will be available too long.

I also fancy Southland -1.5 vs Northland - 2.00 Sunbet.

Yes, had a look at that too, and even Tasman on the minus (-4.5 @1.9), but want to see lineups on that one first.

Does anyone have any kind of list of Gallagher Premiership players who will miss this weekend's action due to international call-ups ?
Or know where to get such a list ?

All Blacks -22.5 @ 8/10

Wales missing key players as test outside international window. The Welsh side the press are likely to start does not look great. All blacks will bring back a number of first choice who did not travel to USA.

I would have capped this around 15 points for full strength Wales. The 22 is a converted try short of true cap in my opinion.

Have managed to get on All Blacks-21.5 @ 1.87. Main aim is to get on the line now as I believe it’s going to move up, might then lay off some of my liability on Wales + (biggest + hcap I can find) Closer to kick off., Wales focus more on scoring tries under Pivac & not as physically defensive as in Shaun Edwards era , injures & illegibility Not helping that defence as Wales are missing a few key physical players, North , Biggar, Tipuric , Navidi, Faletau, L. Williams . Just think Wales won’t be able to handle the intensity of the All blacks Relentless attacking game

Not sure if this is any good :

Hawke’s Bay have rung the changes since they don’t need to win to keep top seed in the premiership-a whole new starting front row, back row and midfield

Drat, bugger..

I'll just have to hope they can still beat Rene Ranger's Turbos by 14 or more

Good early spot South I see the cap is out to -24.5

Looking forward to this game

Generally now edged out further to 27.5 and 28.5 in places. The roof is open for all Wales games and rain expected Saturday. This does worry me a little bit but generally NZ have great wet handling skills and roof open removes a bit of a crowd factor for Welsh.

Canterbury vs Tasman

I see that most people side with Tasman here, but I'll go against the grain.

Canterbury are now just outside the play-offs and need to get back to winning ways. They lost their last 3 matches and for a team stacked with so much Super Rugby experience this is not good enough.
Tasman are just above them, ahead by 1 point.
One year ago when Canterbury were in dire straits to win in order to avoid relegation, they beat Tasman 29-0.
I'll side with Canterbury to have an outburst here and recover their season.

Bet 1: Canterbury +5.5 @1.91
Bet 2: Team Total Points - Canterbury Over 20.5 @1.85

Same thoughts but couldn’t find any 46.5, so taken -

Over 47.5 @ 10/11

I cant remember when I last won an 'overs' ......

hi, an interesting match in top 14, racing -5, they receive Toulouse which will be deprived of 11 players retained in the France team.

Had to sweat gigantic bullets in that Exeter match as I was on minus 2.5, despite Skinner missing a host of kicks it arrived.

Too slow on the take but I have managed plus 9.5 Manawatu for the morning game, On the Tigers tomorrow plus 2.5 , love it. On the Warriors at 13.5 at 5/6. Bath v Wasps under 46.5 points. I missed 9/10 Irish and won't take the minus 2. Will wait and see on that one.
Sarries on Sunday minus 3.5 at 7/10.

Tonga plus 37.5 .

Awaiting weather for NZ match.

Thanks for telling us this GoGo, but do you perhaps know how many players Racing have lost to the French team ?
Reckon if Toulouse have lost some, than Racing might also have lost a few ?

Looking to follow some of the other lads punts today and waiting for points lines.
