Note we have a separate Varsity Cup thread
Unfortunately LoadShedding and power failures meant I had the newsletter typed but could not send it
As tweeted my best bet was Sharks over 26.5 which arrived after looking dead at the break. Sadly I then lumped onto Bulls overs and at half time total overs at Loftus. I was well down for the 2nd week in a row and I am sure many of you have had that feeling where you feel like the enjoyment of betting is ebbing away. I had 2 choices, shut up shop or fire a "get out of jail" bet onto the final URC match.
I did what every self respecting punter would do and went "All In"
I had liked Leinster -24.5 on the show but the line had shifted to 30.5 and instead I fired over 42.5 Leinster points. This was literally a bet that had it missed I would have had to shut up shop and I didn't even share it as wanted no one else to go down with me.
After an early try Leinster reached 26 points at the break only to go to sleep with a strong wind at their back. I had given up when they went over in the last move of the game to reach 43 points exactly. I live to fight another day although have some demons to address.
Anyways onto this weekend where we start with 6 Nations and the current caps
Italy +21.5 v Ireland
Wales +3.5 v England
France -8.5 v Scotland
Perhaps a slight leaning to England -3.5
Super Rugby Pacific gets going Friday and here are handicaps at WSB
Crusaders -7.5 v Chiefs
Waratahs +4.5 v Brumbies
Moana Pasifika +1.5 v Fijian Drua
Highlanders +7.5 v Blues
Reds +2.5 v Hurricanes
W Force -4.5 v Rebels
Then we have 2 local URC teams playing make up matches- here are my projected caps
Sharks -7.5 v Ulster
Lions +5.5 v Glasgow
Then there is also Gallagher Prem
Guys we are running a big competition on the Forum this week - details being worked out but here is a teaser
The winner will get a R3000 Free bet on the rugby World Cup winner market
Second place will get a R1000 free bet on the rugby World Cup outright market
3rd place will get R500 same market
If we get 50+ entries first place will be R10k for the outright market and u can only use this on one team not on multiple
You will need a Pokerbet account so open one with our 6 Nations sponsors at this link if you don't yet have one tinyurl.com/pokerbetgftg
The competition will be run on the GFTG Forum - if you do not have an account CLICK HERE TO OPEN ONE

I’ve gone early on one game -
Reds v Canes
Canes -2.5 @ 10/11
I feel the Reds are going to miss a few key injured players and don’t have the depth just yet to cover. Canes have a bit to prove this year and I like the balance in their squad.

Reds missing Taniela Tupou and have a lock shortage. Moving Seru Uru into the second row will make them more mobile but will impact their scrum. Stable backline, but Canes definitely have the X-Factor to run the Reds ragged.
The game is also in Townsville and not at Suncorp. Looks like some stormy activity due there this weekend so might be muggy conditions.

New week and ready to go again. Looking forward to Superrugby.
I like the Chiefs +7.5 at 9/10 a lot and IMO this should be a choice game, even though it's a Crusaders home game.
Also like the Waratahs +4.5 and Drua to win against Pasifika. Have taken the trebble.
Main bet Chiefs +7.5 at 9/10
Let the battle begin www.twitter.com/hanrickswart

do you know when the boks of the sharks will be back?
They have been in the fridge for almost a month.
Yes, they come back against Ulster this weekend, its risk of stinging for the Irish who are diminishing because of the 6 nations tournament.

Taking an early play on Northampton -3 (Have seen some books for -2, so keep an eye out)
I use a bookie that allows me to cash out, so if you'd like to wait until closer to teams then go for it if you cant.
England have just released
- RIbbans
- Dingwall
- Freeman
- Plus after Ford was selected over Finn Smith, Smith has been with NH all week this time
All three should start for Northampton
Gloucester will lose Chris Harris and Rees-Zammit from their squad this week. With fair weather predicted I think NH will open up again and keep the ball away from the forwards.
-3 is fair value here, I had expected 4.5 to 5.5

Assuming the players don't go on strike then I guess they will have a lot to prove on Saturday?!
EDIT: Game is on - I'm thinking one of these side will win comfortably, but I have no idea which! Wales definitely capable of beating the Orc at home, just depends on their frame of mind. Going to be very interesting!

Double @ 5/2
Wales over 17.5 points vs England
England u20’s have conceded over 17.5 points in all of their last EIGHT games, and while Wales only scored 17 points last week, they scored over that in their previous six games
Ireland v Italy over 50.5 points
All 4 games involving these teams have gone over this so far. In particular, Ireland games have been over 50.5 in 12 of last 13 games, with 8 of them over 60 points
Also taking a smaller bet on over 62.5 points at 16/5 in the Ireland game

1. The new rules are tailor made for overs betting. If we keep our powder dry and target the right games Super Rugby pacific is an absolute gold mine.
2. I’m NEVER waking up this early for any URC fixture

Following you Brent on the over 50.5 @ 10/11 in joburg.
I was actually eyeing out sharks overs in Durban but will have a rethink on that one as humidity now has me worried and maybe some rain about.

In Durban rain is better for points than humidity.

I had large wagers on Wales plus 8.5 and Rebels plus 5.5 , both looked good at times but didn't arrive in the end .
I've gone under unders in the Exeter match at 49.5 points and under 50.5 in the French game as my interests for the day .

I'm hoping for no score in the 1st ten mins in the French game then I'll go overs - you would think these two sides would produce points fairly freely??
