    Given that Leicester have a new head coach (well the assistants have been promoted) I'd be more inclined to take Leicester +1.
    That said, Leicester are pretty much out so they may save their best team for the home game against Glasgow.

    Wasps will surely get the job done against Toulouse.

    Sale Sharks +25 against Toulon not a bad one either.

    Stay well clear IMO. I've read on twitter Sale are going to send a rotated team, it could be ugly. They are only 7 points from bottom in the Premiership, they won't care about Europe.

    Are Racing not sh1te though?

    They are, but they would have been ripped a new one after their abject performance against Munster, and i dont expect them to be as poor again at home. Leicester are going no where and have nothing on the line in this game.

    They are only 3 points away from being a challange cup team next season so i think their eyes are firmly on the premiership.

    i expect a boring kick fest where racing come out on top by about 7 points

    You mean Leinster -11 or Montpellier +11?
    Montpellier -11 would be very brave

    I have a few cents on Montpellier +10. I like the look of that team and think they have a good chance at a LBP.

    I'm guessing they were talking about getting them at 10/11 or something similar with the +11 handicap.

    I put some money on Toulon to win by 40, that Sale team is fairly second string and that Toulon team certainly isn't. They haven't smashed anyone this year, but I think they could.

    Anything in particular driving the McKeon bet or just a hunch? He doesn't score that often. :P

    The bookies best friend, The Gut. My rational is Connachts opensides tend to go on tail of the maul - with Cannon and Stevenson on the lineout should be more effective so decent chance of a try of a lineout maul. But who knows ha

    I'll be taking Leinster to win by 1-12. I presume that means number of tries.

    It wasn't. I am very confident Leinster will win handsomely.

    Munster to win at 11/10 my only bet. This looks a really good Munster team.

    To be fair it might not be a bad bet. Our opensides tend to see a fair bit of ball and he's a lump of a lad. If Zebre are trailing and the heads start to drop he'll have a few soft shoulders to run at. Was just looking at the odds on any Connacht player to score in 80, the longest are 4/1... :pac:

    Went a bit mental:

    Ulster +7
    Munster +1
    Leinster -11
    Connacht -14.5

    Coming in around 8/1

    My only two bets tonight.

    Leinster%2Bvs%2BMontpelier.PNG

    For those fancying something more unusual....

    Dragons V Enisei-Stm

    Enisei-Stm to score -5.5 in the 1st half @ 4/5

    The Russian side demolished Dragons 38-18 in the away fixture in October so surely a converted try or two penalties is not too much of an ask?

    Happy with my one from two and unbelievably Enisei-Stm were scoreless at half-time. :D
