    definitely taking benetton and ulster there

    Pending the Scotland lineup but Wales -3 looks very tempting.

    Ireland -14 is 6/7 points too high imo.

    England -33 looks about right. Italy have covered the handicap in their three opening games however.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 296 ✭✭Leinstertomas


    Wales to score first try and win 13/8
    Also taking them at both ht and ft handicaps


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,219 ✭✭✭ionadnapóca


    France +14. I’m on it.
    Can’t see Ireland in this form getting more than 2 tries and I’d fancy The Toulouse trio to create a good few try scoring opportunities.

    Was stung on the same spread with Toulouse in the RDS!

    Mad bet of the weekend which I've thrown a few Euros on:

    J May, G North & J Stockdale all to score a Try @ 13/2

    For FÚCK sake, Jake Ball singehandedly conspiring to ensure Wales don't cover the spread

    Too close for comfort. At half time the spread looked very comfortable

    Thank god for that penalty anyway, had em -3 but had doubled down on them at -4


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭The Pheasant2


    Backed Ireland -13.

    Ben O'Keefe has earned my undying emnity calling that last try when there's literally no way he could've seen it.

    Just had to act the big man and make an "On field decision" based on absolutely nothing, when he was always going to have to go TMO anyway.

    took leinster +8 early in the week and very surprised to see them close to +1 after team announcements.

    its not like leinster have named a first team, very much second string without naming children... and edinburgh have named as strong as they can really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    On Leicester, Edinburgh and Cardiff treble: 4/1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    Took Edinburgh to win at 8/13 after the late changes to Leinster's lineup. I expect that will move later today.


  • Subscribers Posts: 43,107 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat

    same, took a power up to 4/6 on the embra win....

    still have leinster +8 as well....
    but the spread has gone from +1 to +3 after Byrnes withdrawal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    I'm surprised it didn't move from Leinster +3. I think it should be in the +6/7 range.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    Ah Leicester...

    Scarlets let me down for 50-1 treble (Connacht- 8.5 and under 43.5 points total, Edinburgh - 1.5 and under 41.5 points total and Scarlets to win by 1-12 points). At least it never had a chance I suppose, better than being much closer and losing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,127 ✭✭✭The real mccoy 91


    Couple of anytimes for Exeter today

    Cordero 13/8
    2 or more 13/2

    Cokanasinga 2/1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,363 ✭✭✭✭Del.Monte


    Had C J Stander to score a try last night - got MOTM but could he score a try. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    Scarlets are 3/1 to make the top three (top two after Leinster) in Conference B. Seems a good bet to me? Ulster won't be caught so they are competing with Benetton and Edinburgh.

    It's essentially a bet on Scarlets running the table, Benetton losing to Munster and Leinster and Edinburgh only winning two games (which happens if Scarlets run the table). Scarlets also will have a week off before they play Edinburgh.

    Ulster (54): HCC QF, Glasgow (A), Edinburgh (A), Possible HCC SF, Leinster (H)

    Benetton (50): Leinster (A), Munster (H), Zebre (A)

    Edinburgh (47): HCC QF, Scarlets (A), Ulster (H), Possible HCC SF, Glasgow (A)

    Scarlets (45): Edinburgh (H), Zebre (H), Dragons (A)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,269 ✭✭✭ClanofLams


    Scarlets have a chance but 3s doesn’t seem particularly big to me given you’re looking for probably five results to go your way. Benetton have a week off now too, they were very physical Friday night and that was without eight Italian internationals. They will give Leinster Bs plenty of it in Dublin.

    They have only lost two games at home all season, to Leinster and narrowly to
    Ulster, both were early on in season and they have improved considerably over season so expect them to give any Munster team a fair challenge over there.

    Wouldn’t say Ulster are absolute certs yet, don’t think three losses from those fixtures is unimaginable although would expect them to beat a likely weakened Leinster at home if they need to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,676 ✭✭✭✭aloooof


    Glasgow to cover the 15 point spread? The game in the pool finished 38-19 so they'd need to improve on that.


  • Subscribers Posts: 43,107 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    Personally I think ulster have a better chance of filling the 15 point spread


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,127 ✭✭✭The real mccoy 91


    Taking a punt on sale to win and both teams to score 20+ at 3/1

    Also on solomona and kelleher both score a try at 6s

    Both on boyles


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    Before it went to -3 I took Munster to qualify for the next round 8/15. Also a small bet on Ulster +13.
