MAKE UP RESULTS
Posted 15 March
Connacht 31–14 Scarlets – I didn’t get involved in this one
Edinburgh 19–40 Ulster – Edinburgh led early but were blown away – no bet for me
Vodacom Bulls 19–32 DHL Stormers – Bulls were awful and all I can recall from this game is a ref who felt the need to explain every decision in great detail. I was on the Bulls -7.5 and over 55.5 and neither was a runner although I was given a sniff of the overs with a late Bulls try but true to the day they dropped the kick off.
LEAGUE TABLE UPDATE
The Glasgow Warriors lead the standings in 1st place with 45 points, having won nine of their twelve matches so far. Just behind them sit Ulster in 2nd and Leinster in 3rd, both on 41 points and firmly positioned among the leading contenders.
From a South African perspective the DHL Stormers are the highest placed local side in 4th position on 40 points, after breaking their losing run against the Bulls.
Completing the top half of the table are Cardiff Rugby in 5th place on 40 points and Munster in 6th on 39 points, both very much in the playoff mix.
The Fidelity ADT Lions currently occupy 7th place with 33 points, keeping them inside the playoff positions, while the Vodacom Bulls sit 8th on 30 points, holding the final playoff spot heading into Round 13.
Further down the table the Hollywoodbets Sharks are currently 11th on 24 points,
