URC Week 8, Gallagher Prem Week 9 + other rugby 18-25 Dec

Already shortening so firing this while I still can.

Bulls +5.5 @ 5/6.

Books have the wrong favorite here.

Bath v Harlequins: Quins Plus

We have some rain predicted. Even as a Bath fan, for me this should be close to a choice game.

Taken some +7 personally, there's still some +6 and +5 out there.

Real value here if both teams 100%

Bulls +7.5 & Gloucester ML & Quins vs Bath over 44.5 @ 3.1 is a cheeky Xmas gelukkie - treat yourself

Merry Xmas boys! Hope it's an awesome festive season and thank you all for a lekker punting year!!

Lovely weekend to look forward to before Christmas , hoping to find a few winners !

Might be a few drops in Glasgow but shouldn't really be cause for concern , both sides have named strong sides and I'm going for the visitors to ruffle the home side's feathers, preferring the 9 and 10 pairing , plus 5.5 .

Ulster smashed Racing last week and for two weeks in a row the home side have dished me out a hiding , I'm still not overly convinced and with the sides named I feel Connacht can go close , confident with plus 9.5 .

It's another plus for me when Newcastle return home to face Bristol , the latter were most disappointing in recent weeks and Newcaste despite being horribly shite they need a win like bone marrow and should be in the running , therefore plus 8.5 looks yummy to me.

Finally it's a royal scoop of 4 plusses , Sarries on teh board and plus 1.5 is a confident call.

Play well cadres

Fuck me, this Ulster v Connacht is garbage.

I’ve just witnessed a 6 minute reset scrum.

Turning this crap off.

Kunt of a ref in the Ulster game , he literally has one eye . Connacht cannot catch a break .

Loving my over 39.5 in Ulster v Connacht.

Ends 20-19.

Odds at 1/2. Jokes.

Edinburgh fell away badly towards the end but at least a late try by the awful Falcons ensured a small profit on the night .

I've also missed the Bulls bus and that always worries me somewhat , I'll probably still go for them but will need to think about that . I have fired under 51.5 however and then saw that it was Marius on the whistle , I'm going to be squeaky bum for most of the match as a result.

Benetton seem a decent side and have been able to put away Zebre in recent years by double digits , going to lean towards them and I've taken minus 9.5 at 4/5 .

I'm going for Leicester at plus .5 in the UK and also Northampton plus 2.5 at 4/5 .

Weather in Parma looks sunny and a very pleasant 19 C so I've gone over 51 pts @evens for the Zebra game.

A festival of running rugby!! Zero confidence though as I'm on a bit of a losing streak .....

Holy crap - zero skill levels shown by the players and the ref in this Zebra game

Christmas miracle for you.

Penalty missed to touch with 45 seconds left.

Parma scores in 81st min.

Snatching victory from the Jews of defeat

Going to try and ride my luck - Pau v Clermont @1/2 time over 33.5pts (10-3)........

Jeezzzz almost got away with that one too!

If memory serves, you lot have lost a lot of money on the Bulls in the past so I'm on the home team +1.5 ....

Dunno what I was thinking. I've promised myself time and time again, never to back the Bulls.
But when I looked at their team sheet ? I thought no way can this team lose to the Stormers.
No, not this time. Hooray, Jake is finally going to get that W that he wants so much. only he doesn't

I reckon if Jake retires now, he'd be doing the Bulls a favour, he's much too dour nowadays to be a coach maybe his heart attack or whatever it was, gave him a too much taste of reality ?

I've had another good weekend so far, but if Bulls and Leicester had of won, I'd have trebled what I won on a couple of fat accas. As it is, my 7-fold on the Top 14 rolled in a nice win.

Long may this run continue
There's some great rugby coming up. Damn, I missed the HANDICAP, the only show that matters.

Best of festive wishes to all, and let's roll those dice
Happy happy
