Bloody hell all losers so far. Just Clermont left to salvage something.

Fecking Grenoble bottling the handicap, just like Northampton.

1 unit Australia -10.5 3.75, 1 unit Toulon to win 1.8. 1 unit Australia 1.5, 1 unit NZ 1.8 (both moneyline) and the double 2.7 1 unit.

matthew8

1 unit Ospreys -7 1.91. Also like the look of Pumas, Sharks, Glasgow, Harlequins, Sale and Ulster.

That game certainly seems to have kick started your season thomond. In other news, feck Southern Hemisphere rugby. I keep crosstabs and my record is brutal on games played down there, except for currie cup.

Jammy git - I thought you didn't rate Munster's chances. As for me, another wipeout weekend.

Grenoble available at -10 versus Brive. This is a fantastic bet IMO.

This season Brive have lost at Lyon (24-6), Bayonne (23-6) and Racing (46-32). Grenoble have won all five home matches so far. With Ratini is superb form this could be a BP win for the home side.

The Paris derby has Stade Francais -5. Racing won both derbies last year and you can get them at 15/8 to win which isn't bad. Similarly Toulon are 15/8 to beat Toulouse and the word is that Halfpenny could finally make his debut.

matthew8

Sharks to win 2.15 1 unit. Treviso to win 2.7 1 unit. Munster -9 1.91 1 unit. Harlequins to win 3.4 1 unit. Pumas to win 1.57 1 unit.

Gutted my banker didn't come in. Need Toulon and Racing to save my weekend!

matthew8

Newcastle -13.5 3.3 1 unit.

All blacks -7 v Wallabies on 18th

Think it's a sure even money bet with the hassle in Australian rugby and their recent performances.

The Pheasant2

10 units on Ulster to win the Pro12 @ 5.0

Stings as a Leinster man, but I'm a pragmatist and that's great value if you ask me

matthew8

I love London Welsh. No matter how low the bookies estimate them they still can't even beat a handicap, that's 5 weeks running now I've backed against them. Couldn't even do anything at home to Newcastle.

1 unit Munster to win 1.61.

thomond2006

I'd find it hard to bet on them and therefore want them to win but Saracens -5 looks like a good bet. Clermont have a few injury issues, notably Parra who is out for 6 weeks. Backup 9 Lacrampe could be out as well.

matthew8

Bath to win 2.25, Northampton to win 2.4, 1 unit each.
