I hit the Newsletter Best Bet (over 47.5 Stormers game) and it was another after the hooter winner. I had a very good Friday but gave alot back on backing Leicester +14.5 at HT against Sarries. I sat tight and waited for the Newsletter ACCA and my early treble on the big handicap differences to come home with the Sharks -6.5 but sadly they delivered a typical Sharks performance and were lucky to win.
Another massive weekend of rugby fixtures ahead including Gallagher, NPC and Toyota Champs
Here though are my handicap forecasts for the URC matches - not confident at capping these yet
Connacht -3.5 Munster
Edinburgh -7.5 v Lions
Zebre +9.5 v Stormers
Leinster -13.5 v Sharks
Scarlets -4.5 v Cardiff
Ulster -15.5 v Ospreys
Glasgow -1.5 v Bulls
Bennetton -12.5 v Dragons

Connacht +5.5 v Munster
Edinburgh-5.5 v lions
Zebre +14.5 v stormers
Leinster -15.5 v sharks
Scarlets -4.5 v Cardiff
Ulster -13.5 v ospreys
Glasgow +0.5 v Bulls
Benetton -11.5 v dragons
Will be lining up a big strike on Edinburgh -5.5. Lions have played two poor Welsh teams whereas Edinburgh played the URC champs and runners up two weeks in a row. Think Lions will be happy with their tour and have one foot on the plane.

Agree on Edinburgh.
Like Connacht to beat Munster a lot. Won't bother with the plus.

Bristol -1.5 v Exeter
Leicester -7.5 v Sale
Bath +3.5 v Gloucester
Wasps v Northampton (choice)
Newcastle +7.5 v Saracens
On early views the Gloucester minus looks appealing. Bath in all sorts of trouble at the moment and can see that Glaws pack dominating.

Dragons coach stated he'll be resting players for the Benetton game, plus they have injuries at flyhalf, so think cap might be few points too light
Benetton -11 @ 1.91

Good job its a small one - 36 points in 30 mins!

Auckland have a couple of returning ABs (though no Rayasi or Heem), but Harbour have a more settled side with more established combinations - in particular the halves.
Form back 3 in the comp and have for me played the better rugby over the season, covering the spread in 9 of their 10 games.
Reckon Harbour win, but taking the plus as insurance at B365
Harbour +3.5 @ 1.89

Reasoning:
A local derby two misfiring Irish sides promises could be the perfect tonic for one of these sides to kickstart their season. The hosts Connacht have lost their first 3 games by a margin of 14+ on each occasion and are returning from their South African tour with their tail between their legs. Munster on the other hand has lost 2 out of their opening 3 games and haven't been particularly good so far this season. Until the team sheets appeared I was struggling to separate these two sides but now that the teams have been released, I am pretty happy to take Munster on an alt handicap. The return of 3 Ireland internationals; Coombes, Carbery and Murray to the Munster lineup will add much needed experience to overcome their hosts who have been woeful so far this season.
Also taking a small punt on Munster 1-12. at 2.40

I agree with you on this too. Nth Harbour thrashed Southland last week Invercargill. Auckland have looked scratchy all season.

3-3 after 23mins. Over 52.5 dead as a duck.
Honestly, NPC has over 60 points every game. Come to the knock outs and nothing.
Impossible to bet on this

And now penalty on the try line for not releasing, basic rule of the game, then back in 22m and penalty for going off your feet.
I hate the NPC. Hate it. As much as I hate reset scrums and water breaks

Over 51.5 at 5/6
Only concern Brent is that it’s the bald Italian ref who did the bulls game last week. The game took 3 hours and looked for issues after every try to not award. Also blew 50 penalties.
So worried about that total.

Guys just be careful of those points totals.
Bristol got owned by Newcastle last week and didn’t score many, and that Italian bastard is reffing the lions game which = shitty stop/start game.
Wishing you luck!

As a hedge, a left-field bet that I think is solid -
RSAvsFRA RWC - 2ndH highest scoring half
This is the biggest stage that that these ladies have
EVER played on and I think the nerves will be a bit testy and things will be slow out of the blocks for France.

I don't think you see the same nervous play like you saw with North Harbour. More experienced and rested players expecting a tough 30mins with Wellington to kick on after that.
