Cardiff have a string of players making their last appearance in front of the home support. They'll want to put in a decent show. The likes of Martyn Williams and Gethin Jenkins will burst a lung today. Edinburgh have a completely second string side out. Not one player who started against Toulouse is on the field. They've only won once away from home in the league this season. They lost in Aironi and shipped 25 points there. They've had serious scores run up against them on the road: 54, 38, 34, 33. Wouldn't go near them.

Fair point, think I'll give this one a miss so. Quit while I'm ahead for this week and start afresh next week.

Thoughts on this triple?

Exeter Chiefs v Northampton Saints - Exeter -3 at 8/11
A win for Exeter gets them into the playoffs. Exeter's home form this year is pretty good while Northampton are in a slight slump with a few high profile suspensions.

Cardiff Blues v Edinburgh - Edinburgh +8 at 17/10
Cardiff have been simply abysmal the last few matches. Edinburgh have some fringe players playing to put their hands up to be picked next week. Cardiff will win but I can't imagine them hammering Edinburgh.

Benetton Treviso v Glasgow Warriors - Treviso +4 at 4/7
Glasgow need the win to keep their playoff chances alive. Treviso are no pushovers at home though. Can see a tight win for Glasgow.

Only my 2nd week betting on the rugby but I'm €25 up this week. Will only be putting €3 on this one so if it doesn't happen its no biggie. €3 returns €30, worth a punt?

Wouldn't touch Cardiff/Edinburgh as its a nothing game. Exter have every chance of beating an out of sorts and under resourced Saints team. Can see Glasgow winning by 1-5. Wouldn't take Treviso +4 though.

Just put on an accumulator for this week.

Have the two Spanish teams in the sport that shall not be named and I have the two Irish teams in the rugger. No handicaps. 5/1 about.

Judgement Day

Anybody going with Ulster -7 ? Weather could be a big factor but I can't see past Ulster cutting Edinburgh to pieces in what's essentially a 'home' game.

CatFromHue

Yeah I've gone for them at -7........and -10 and -13!

Those two 22 points wins by Ulster are weighing heavily on my mind. When you look through past Semi Finals it's not that uncommon for a team to win by 15 to 20 points.

Judgement Day

Yeah, I think I'll have a splurge. I heard Gavin Hastings and some other bod on the radio yesterday talking Edinburgh up but I think Murrayfield was a flash in the pan - perhaps even 'the last sting of a dying wasp'.

Had a nice soccer accum come in there, worked out at 4/1

All the winnings have been lumped on Ulster minus 7.

Birthday next week so It would be a dinger to come in!

No value in the Leinster Clermont match betting as far as I see.

If you're going to bet on the match you may as well bet on them to win the HEC imo. Still wouldn't touch it.

Think I'll have a few quid on Ulster, can't see beyond them really. Also, Toulon in tomorrow nights semi against SF are shoo-ins. Stade have George Smith at 12 and have benched Parisse. Toulon are full strength pretty much.

Can't access gambling sites from work but hopefully the spread is a nice little profit earner!

Its 12 or 13 points at moment
Smith at 1 2is madness hell be facing his old team mate Giteau, Dupuy is benched too.
With aheineken cup spot available for the winner of final strange stade not taking it seriously.

Cheers for the h/c SP.

I like the look of -12, shouldn't be too difficult to get with the team SF have out. Smith will be shown up at 12 and Toulon will certainly be targeting him.

Very odd for a side to be seeming to throw away a semi final, must be thinking they'll get H Cup rugby via the T14 route.

thomond2006

Stade trying to make Top14 playoffs is very important as well, Toulon are already there and won't catch Clermont or Toulouse to qualify directly to the semifinals.

In their remaining regular season games, they have Toulouse at home and Lyon (relegated already) away in the Top14 and only need one win to make sure of a home quarterfinal.

There in 7th at moment with Brive and Biarritz still in relegation zone and Toulon in 3rd in the top 14 so 7th should be a guaranteed heineken cup spot i think.
Also small matter of Clermont still alive.
Also Stade have only won once away all year in the league so should ship lots of points here looks like a good bet -12pts @10/11

Have a double of leinster to win and ulster -7

Worth a go for the Clermont Leinster game but it's a lot less likely to happen in the other semi

Judgement Day

Thought I was really on the pigs back tonight when Steffon Armitage scored for Toulon in the first minute but I should have known better - Toulon minus Jonny Wilkinson - couldn't score in a brothel. Anyway I'm well ahead thanks to Armitage. Bring on overhyped Edinburgh!

Had a treble tonight on Munster A over 13.5 1st half, Toulon over 28.5, and feckin Sligo Rovers about 5/1

Lesson learnt: Never trust football

1st treble was €3 on Quensland Reds +5, Brumbies -3 and Munster A -14, came in for just inder €21 happy days

2nd quad was all of the above at €2 and Toulon at -14, thought I was in after the first few mins of that one.

Still €15 profit and all that
