Cheers - only second loss so far in the handicap betting during the world cup - first was Argies V France, so 8 from 10 is ok

Skipping the Japan Fiji game and all over Italy at -32 this evening.

I think Fiji are going to do quite well... win by 20+points..


Italy is gonna be tight, i'd say a score line of approx
Italy 27 - Rom 19

I don't like this. Italy are going to struggle to put them away I reckon. What odds are you getting?

Just above evens I'd guess. I wouldn't take them at that.

I am getting 10/11 - I think Italy's pride is really hurting after the NZ game and they owe themselves a big performance if they want to give themselves a chance V Scotland.

Handicap for Fiji is -23 v Japan, I think they will win comfortably, but probably by around this score, so too dangerous to touch IMO

I checked it on Betfair and it's ~2.4 right now (decimal odds). I think that's nearer to the right price but as I said I'd be staying away as playing two games in quick succession will impact the Italians I feel (ala Argentina last night).

Edit: Betfair actually run 3 different handicaps for all the games that's why I asked what the odds were initially. For this one the lines are -19.5, -32.5 and -46.5

Actually I think I'll have a punt on Samoa to beat England (in light of the outhalf crisis they are currently having with AF playing at 10 now :eek: ) as the odds are going to crash after they take a walloping from SA.

8-5 to Italy atm (44 minutes gone)

I've only audio but it hasn't sounded like a very good match so far.


Edit:

Italy 8 Romania 12 now...

I had forgotten O'Neills do the Romanian jersey. Mad to see them on Rugby instead of the GAA. 15-12 to the Azzuri with Pez taking a peno
Edit: 18-12 now

Well done to the ref for handling that injury. I think all refs should have paramedic or first aid training. I've seen refs not go near an injured player and wait for the medics to come on. If he's the nearest person to the injured player he should be able to help.

Final score 24-18

Spreadbury was a paramedic before he turned into a pro ref.

That's my point I think all refs should be able to help out the way he did, even provide simple first aid before the medics get there.

Good call on the scoreline there.

Disappointed Romania lost their discipline in the second half having been given the initiative by a ropey Italy. Win gives Italy a chance of qualifying still though.

Thanks, should have put my money where my guess was!

Ooops!!! Pretty poor prediction from me... Certainly not going to be backing Italy v Scotland now....
