Rugby Champs Week 3, Currie Cup Week 7, NPC Week 6

It was a profitable weekend but one that could have been a lot better had USA held on against Australia 

Currie Cup:

I went 3 from 4 in the Currie Cup with the Griquas and Sharks board bets the highlights. I am holding onto my Griquas 25/1 outright ticket

Here are my handicap projections for week 7

Sharks +7.5 vs Pumas – 5 Sep, Kings Park, Durban
Western Province +5.5 vs Boland – 6 Sep, Cape Town
Lions -6.5 vs Griquas – 6 Sep, Ellis Park
Bulls +9.5 vs Cheetahs – 6 Sep, Loftus

Women’s Rugby World Cup (WRWC):

It was another profitable weekend with the USA delivering the +14.5 and the Bok ladies an outright win bet.

If only the USA had won though I had them at 5/1 and 15/2 (in-running) and we also had the 29/1 newsletter acca of Sharks, USA and SA all to win – click here to receive my newsletter

Have a good week everyone

BG

Bookies will (again) hold off on team news this week as I expect that to be massive.

Reckon we could find ourselves in the weird situation where 4 of the top 5 teams on the log aren't favourites for their final round matches.

Would not be surprised if Sharks field a stronger team. That being said I have seen Saracens are here so I presume the top dogs will be kept for that one.

But I have it on good authority that both WP and Bulls will be fielding URC squads - sorry Boland and Cheetahs!

New forum requires a new winning streak!
 

Brent will be back on the forum later, in the meantime he has asked me to post the NPC caps


Counties Manukau -6.5 v North Harbour
Otago -6.5 v Northland
Manawatu +6.5 v Waikato
Hawke's Bay -3.5 v Wellington
Southland +12.5 v Canterbury
Taranaki -5.5 v Bay of Plenty
Tasman -12.5 v Auckland

Hello peeps of the GFTG ( punters family) forum & those like me who have really appreciated this wonderful site for many years but kept schtoom on the forum front.
Going to give it a stab @ contributing .
( my claim to fame is having longer losing streaks than winning ones so my posts will come with a public legal & liability disclaimer )

Thanks to all you great contributors who make this site such an asset and special thanks to Brent & Chris .

Welcome Mojo! 

Great to be back on the new forum lads 

As Couch says team news will be crucial in the Currie Cup but also the WRWC 

A very tricky looking week but I would rather be a punter than a bookie 

Nice to see the new forum and site, great work Chris and Brent.

Looking at a big overs play in AUS v ARG, daytime ko and good conditions forecast, humidity seems fine. Waiting for some points lines.

Points line for Aus - Argentina is 56

Firing the overs in Townsville - over 55.5 pts @ 9/10

managed to get over 54.5 @ 5/6 so taken a mix of that and 55.5

Been keeping an eye out for Brent for the Currie Cup caps, WSB out at Sharks -4.5 v Pumas on Friday. What line ups have been announced  are on the Currie Cup blog

Hello everyone,

Here are the lineups for the Pro D2, the championship that Pablo made popular on the forum. I hope this is helpful. www.allrugby.com/news/pro-d2-2026-j2-compos-3245.html
 

Thanks gogonono, that website is pretty nice because you can compare from one week to another.

Vannes -19.5 ha @1.90 2u

Unlucky I didnt take the -15.5 but still value to me, this vannes side is Top14 team, angouleme mixed compo.

Vannes -15 is still available on Boylesports.
the line is 21.5pts on Bet365

Boyles are sometimes slow to run with the pack
