Super Rugby Pacific Week 1, Currie Cup, Gallagher Prem & URC 18-20 Feb

Here we go again everyone.

A busy weekend ahead (we will open a separate Varsity Cup betting thread) and although the 6 Nations takes a break we have the start of Super Rugby Pacific, the Currie Cup, the Gallagher Prem and the URC.

Last weekend was a tough one for me as I had a big loss on the Newsletter Bet Lions over 23.5. The line move but that didn't mean anything as the Lions amassed a massive 3 points in 70 minutes - it looked like the 11/1 acca would land when we needed England over 5.5 tries in the last leg and after their 4th it looked a formality. In the end we were denied by what in my opinion was a poor piece of reffing - play should have gone on if he wasn't sure of the try and they could have come back to check.

Fortunately I hit Sharks overs and France overs to rescue the weekend although I still finished behind.

Lets start with the Currie Cup and my projected Caps - a bit confusing trying to separate Currie Cup and URC form

Griquas +5.5 v WP
Pumas +8.5 v Cheetahs
Lions +8.5 v Sharks

I heard there were some SRP caps out but I can't find any - I see Kiwi sides dominate the betting with Crusaders 7/4, Blues 11/4, Chiefs 5/1, Hurricanes 7/1 and Highlanders 12/1. The Reds are 14/.

Look out for the early GPR and URC betting

Like all of those WW

WP over 25.5 for me tonight

Awful from WP and a crap game to watch - morning profits gone and taken Bears o26.5 at Sunber

Down after a poor Friday night - not much thought gone into this but taken Canesover 22.5

Can't believe we are still waiting for points lines in the Currie Cup

A heads up on the Lions game, alot of rain overnight and more still possible

Pumas v Cheetahs betting preview

Great minds think alike Paw - over 32.5 the play for me

Cheetahs points at 31.5 at Sunbet

Lions v Sharks betting preview

The weather has thrown me a curve ball with plenty overnight rain but it appears to be clearing and I am backing the Lions to reach 20.

Brumbies v Force Betting Preview

I love the early kick offs and leaning overs

Taken Glasgow over 4.5 tries at 1/1 at Sportingbet

Terrible from Glasgow early but doubling down and taking them to get over 3.5 tries at 29/20

Bad end to the day for me and back down again

Taken Brumbies over 29.5 at 17/20
