Eh?!
What the **** is this all about? Little unprofessional is it not?

John Afoa is unavailable this week after he returned to act as best man at fellow All Black Jerome Kaino’s wedding, a commitment Ulster Rugby were aware of when he arrived ahead of schedule earlier this month.

If Ulster knew about it, then it's fine.

Anyway, I wouldn't touch Ulster at 5/1 with Fitzpatrick at TH.

Ah that's fair enough then.
Certainly Ulster out the window with that Leicester front row.
Ulster +12 is a good bet still though imo.

Basically he knew about the wedding when negotiating with Ulster and they decided to sign a contract where his contract and wages begins on 1st December. A few weeks ago Ulster had their two first choice THs injured (cronin and fitzpatrick) and made a call to Afoa, can you come early you can leave for the wedding but if Clermont could really define the season and we don't know if we have a TH other than Macklin available. Afoa came.

I have the highest respect for him for coming early for a few weeks before his contract starts.

You do know Afoa is going back to NZ for a wedding. I think that will make a massive difference. The TH on the bench will be Macklin and Fitzpatrick has had only one sub appearance off the bench since coming back from injury.

I don't see Ulster winning without Afoa or a decent sub prop(cronin).

Dang, forgot about that alright. It's a shame really, with a full deck Ulster would never have had a better chance to win in Leicester, given their shocking start to the season. Hmmm, yeah, they're going to lose.

Anyone fancy anything in tonights matches?

Montpellier more than 2/1 to beat Bath. Worth considering.

On another note, I've lost €45 since I changed from betfair to pp. ****ing Ireland not winning tonight in the football.:(

I think I'm gonna abstain from betting for a while, I'm on a horrendous run.

Join the club, serves me right for betting on a girls game. I'm holding off until the Munster game.

that would drive you mad .

Judgement Day

Back on track and I also had a win on Tommy Bowe to score a try for Ospreys today - the one man (apart from ROG) who can always be relied upon to deliver for the weary punter.

Racing +7 (11/4 to win) in the Parisien derby at Stade de France.

Stade Francais have been going well in the past number of weeks but Racing are a very good side when they're interested. I definitely think will be within a score of Stade at the very least.

Judgement Day

Another good night that could have been massively better as I had looked at one of my try scoring favourites - Edinburgh's Tim Visser - 19/1 for a hat trick against Aironi. I said surely lightening won't strike twice - again - but it did.

duckysauce

nice

Connacht screwed up a nice bet for me , put money on Leinester during their game and payback gone for williams and ioane to score tomorrow , will either be an amazing match or a shiiite fest

GerM

Given their respective teams and home advantage, Wales should have enough to win tomorrow. +3 on the handicap should sweeten the deal.

thomond2006

Munster 11/10 to win is a good bet IMO.

duckysauce

bring it on

duckysauce

wales /munster double nearly 4/1

Podge_irl

If Munster win tomorrow then a couple accums of mine will come in (I basically bet on the Welsh teams and Aironi to lose). I also, unfortunately, won on Treviso beating Connacht. Good weekend all in all, after a couple of disastrous ones.

+3 is worst handicap about. Why not back the +5 that is available?

Stuck a euro on a treble: Munster, Wales, Racing. Pays out €18.70

I've backed Munster. Ospreys are missing about 17 from the squad in total and most of their best players. They do have a big squad though and they're top of the league so no mugs but Munster will be disappointed if they don't win this one.

I dodged a bullet with Connacht last night so thats a good start for the weekend!
