Six Nations Rd 4, Super Rugby Rd 4, Varsity Cup + other rugby 2-8 March

taken Boland + 6 @ 10/11

good warm up for them a few weeks ago against a loaded bulls side. cheetahs i don't think they've played a warm up game and last played late jan at racing?

but coaches investment in boland ticks the right boxes for me, lots of experience there. fourie against old side.

 frans steyn being lumbered with a lot of responsibility at cheetahs.

some rain expected, making the plus even more appealing.

Oh well, betting mostly with my heart again but I do believe this Welsh side are improving so I'm on +26.5

About to start on the beer ...........

All over the Welsh plus 26.5 , improvement again against Scotland and should have held on to win the game, hoping for further scope now away from home , looks a decent bet . Meanwhile the points at 55.5 are golden and am firmly under . Poured all day here in Sussex but sadly it's bone dry in Dublin otherwise it was maximum squirt !!

I will be working today with the Ipad close by , With Jacques , Scotland plus 10.5 , under 54.5 points main bet . 

Later on although I think Italy could beat a disappointing England side , I instead feel the changes made look for the better and with the spread at 7.5 I am on the Orcs sadly . 

Against the grain a bit however I’m going with France to cut loose -

France over 32.5 pts @ 10/11

Lines are wild when it come to sevens, I've seen  Argentina men -1.5 on bet 365, but it's -3.5 to -4.5 on differrent books. 
Went with 0.5u here on Sportsbet
NZ men ml against  Spain/ South Africa men -13.5 v GB/ Australia women -25.5 v Fiji @4.69 1u

Some game in Edinburgh. 

Fin Smith over 5.5 1st half pts @ 5/6

Rugby sevens women
Australia over 29.5 @1.97 2u against Canada
Australia -16.5 @1.85 1u against Canada 
basically same game, Australia should blow them out baaaaaaad!

Wow some crazy but brilliant games in the 6 Nations

I liked both Italy and Scotland but got fancy with the 1-12's instead of a handicap play. 

We are in for an exciting final round 

Rugby Europe Championship

Georgia vs Romania

This is the first semifinal and is played in Tbilisi.
It will be dry but freezing, with the temperature around zero degrees Celsius.

The last two meetings, in 2024 and 2025, were played here as well and they both ended 43-5 to the Georgians.

Romania now has several players, many of them of South African origin, who obtained their rights to play for this country through the residency test, which requires a player to play for five continuous years for the same club, which they did. 

This team looks quite a bit different compared to the last one that faced Georgia one year ago.

Based on the pre-match interviews, the Romanians are going to try to give the Georgians a game.

Bet 1: Romania +36.5 @1.80
Bet 2: Total under 60.5 points @1.83 

I've hammered Wales +5.5 v Italy
I don't there will be much between them.
Smaller punt on Wales win @ 3
