Thoughts on this? Haven't placed it but probably will, I think it's the best you can get out of these games. Think it might be best to just back Australia to beat Scotland.

Ireland to win both Halves vs Canada - 1/25
Australia to win both halves vs Scotland - 4/7
New Zealand to win both halves vs Italy - 1/40
England to beat South Africa - 1/6
France to beat Samoa - 1/9
Odds of 2.17

Yeah I think backing Australia to win would probably be best. That said they did pick up a convincing win against Wales.

your better off going for over points in games

Italy v NZ over 54.5
Ireland v canada over 46.5
Scotland v Aus over 44.5
Wales v Argies over 41.5

something like that.

seems like an awful lot of hassle for meager return.

for the same return you could do:

england, france, australia to win and NZ - 30.5

South Africa have a good record against England, also England are missing their 2 second row forwards, think 10pts difference max and the +13.5 in the handicap at odds of 8/15 looks a better bet which will help boost your overall odds

diusmr8a504cvk · 09-11-2016 05:27PM

I've kind of revised it a bit, I realise it's not a big return in the slightest but do you reckon it's safe?
Australia to beat Scotland - 2/9
France to win both halves vs Samoa - 3/10
Ireland to win both halves vs Canada - 1/25
New Zealand to win both halves vs Italy - 1/40
Odds: 1.69

I haven't seen France since the 6 nations, but I'm not sure I'd trust them, even against Samoa.

I said the same, you wouldn't know what they'd be like but with them being at home you would expect them to perform.

thomond2006 · 10-11-2016 12:17AM

Are Italy that bad? PP offering spread of +42 vs NZ. I know NZ will want to make a statement but that's still a big score to make up.

I'm liking Argentina +5 vs Wales.

PP aren't backing Ireland to do the double, giving Ireland +16.

Italy are now in the 4th tier of seeds for RWC. Think they are going backwards lately.

Not sure why Wales are favourites v Argentina. Think they will lose that one if Argies can make the offloads stick.

Del.Monte · 14-11-2016 08:20PM

Little bit of insurance given the strange times we're living in.

TheJackAttack · 17-11-2016 02:24PM

I'm backing Ireland for bantz as well.

Retalick and whitelock will make a huge difference.

gflann · 17-11-2016 02:29PM

What does the term mean:
I am backing them for bantz ?

Is that a particular bet, or some lingo...?

MikeCork2009 · 19-11-2016 09:25AM

Ireland +17 evens with PP.

I think we have a good chance of winning. I certainly don't see us losing by 17 at home. Whichever side wins I think it will be closer than that. Personally think it's a no brainer!

Del.Monte · 19-11-2016 10:17AM

I've just added the unlikely draw @ 40/1 to my bets. I think I'll leave it at that......as it's too hard to call.

Blacklash after Chicago possible, but I don't understand starting Barrett and Smith ahead of Cruden and Perenara.

Adbrowne · 19-11-2016 05:07PM

51 wales
60 england
38 italy

51 ireland
41 france
43 scotland

minimum points per game. €5 at 10-1. Three down, three to go

Another wipe-out weekend - this and other games.

I hesitated and the handicap shrunk but still got on

Joe Hill · 19-11-2016 09:10PM

Lads whats the betting I'm the Australia match handicap and straight

diusmr8a504cvk · 08-12-2016 08:35PM

I think this is very safe but the odds are terrible for seven games.

Munster to beat Leicester - 1/3
Racing to beat Glasgow - 1/9
Saracens to beat Sale Sharks - 1/20
Toulouse to beat Zebre - 1/20
Wasps to beat Connacht - 1/8
Toulon to beat Scarlets - 1/18
Clermont to beat Ulster - 4/6
Odds: 3.23

You got a lot of them right. How do you see this weekend going with reverse fixtures?

thomond2006 · 16-12-2016 02:38PM

Leinster -17 on PP. Given Saints have put out the seconds I doubt that will last long.

already at -18

will probably end at -20

Del.Monte · 17-12-2016 10:49PM

Betting on Leinster try scorers is usually a disaster for me but not tonight.

Incidentally, for those of you who follow Planet Rugby predictions...they have plumbed new depths in calling it wrong this week - beware. They used to be a good source of tips but Boards is a much better port of call these days.

Looking at that, from memory it looks very like the handicap the bookies were giving. Lazy fcukers.

Nice spot. Was definitely five for Connacht (went into four on matchday) and others look right too.

FACECUTTR · 22-12-2016 01:45PM

Treviso -6 with Saracens Glasgow Toulouse La Rochelle and Ulster to win. Nearly 18-1
