Nations Championship Round 5 plus other rugby 13-15 November

An up and down weekend for me with the All Blacks delivering against Scotland, both the -8.5 and over 33.5 but Argentina and Australia ketting me down badly 

Will have the round 5 blog including a betting review of round 4 up shortly but here are the fixtures with my projected handicaps 

Nations Championship Round 5 Fixtures 
Friday 13 November
 France +3.5 v South Africa – Paris
 Saturday 14 November
 Italy +12.5 v Argentina – Genoa
 Wales +27.5 v New Zealand – Cardiff
 England -28.5 v Japan – London
 Ireland -22.5 v Fiji – Dublin
 Sunday 15 November
 Scotland -4.5 v Australia – Edinburgh

Anything you would jump on? 

NZ -27.5 and England -28.5 look like a banker double to me.NZ were 3/1 to win the Nations Championship before the weekend. They’ll take all five points against Wales, and I fancy them to beat England next week. If the Boks beat France without a bonus point or lose, NZ at 3/1 would look like great outright value. Still can’t see myself cheering for the All Blacks though.

I suspect we will get 7/2 New Zealand now and while I am on already I think now is the time to get on if you are prepared to cheer for them. 
The reason is that the betting could change alot if SA get beat by Framce and I cannot see New Zealand getting anything but a full house against Wales 
If they are still level after this week I don't see the All Black price changing much 

I see 3 handicaps are out, all within 2 points of mine - the more one sided games to come though and those are tougher to cap 

France +5.5 v SA 
Italy +10.5 v Argentina 
Scotland -6.5 v Australia 

Blog updated with early betting 

Boks now -7.5 in places 

Away from betting for a minute lads 

One of our forum members and sometimes show guest Darren has put together a rugby quiz game 

7 questions a day and pretty cool - although I finished in the bottom 10%

I see those bastard bookies are trying to tempt me in to Wales +31.5. Looking at past results, its been over 20 years since the Darkness gave us a proper 50 point winning margin bumming. and more often than not we have managed to stay within that handicap.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm clutching at straws? lol
