Balls had big review on Leinster Connacht match done here on phone and it disappeared . Leinster to cover the cap of 7 points due to having a proper fly half and a stronger bench darcy Healy Jennings and red den to come on.if Connacht have same amount of handling errors as last week could be a bad beating

If we keep it tight for the first 20, we have a small squeak.Would take a losing bonus point now though.

You can get a slightly better price dutching the Ireland/England and Ireland/Wales forecasts, so is that a better option, or could France sneak into a top 2 spot?
To be honest I would be more inclined to back Ireland for the GS at 6s than the Championship at 2s. It is a WC year and France could be anything. My prediction would be
Ireland (GS)
England
France
Scotland
Wales
Italy

Ireland without Sexton are in real trouble.
He should be back also have trouble at scrum half.

Wales should cover 4 point spread.
George Ford has the potentail to a much more complete outhalf than Farrell he will be a call act.

I dont think they should be even allowed use the term money back special MBS. To actually get ones money back they have to hit an even money shot after. Most have gone this route but i think more punters should have made a stand to all them and said just give me the money back you prick. Paddy Power has tried to compete with there poor odds on this basis and I have noticed there cash out offers are below others too.
Another thing that annoyed me about there free bet returns is if its on a scorecast you get it in halfs i.e half for the score and then the rest for the goalscorer so when you want to use up the free bet you cant just lump it on and have the tedious task of putting on the bet in multiples.
TLDR : Fuck Paddy Power

I think too much is made of the returning Italian experience, yes Parisse is a top player but he hasn't been world class in the last two years. Castro is over the hill and not getting huge game time for Toulon. This is a team who have just twice against minnows since beating Ireland in Rome two years ago.
Ireland are admittedly missing a few but we didn't miss Healy during the Autumn, this wouldn't be a game for Heaslip in any event because it will be a tight battle upfront. Keatley at 10 is a bit of an unknown but I'll give Joe the benefit of the doubt until he fucks up.
Yeah there are a few sweeping generalisations in the above but I'm on Ireland -10.The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day. Gerry Thornley 23/3/09

Scotland +4 today. Proved they could live with big strike runners against France last week, still think the bookies aren't giving them the credit they deserve. Will also be on them at 2.8 to win.The sport that unites Catholic, Protestant and dissenter has had its day of days. Pity anybody who can't enjoy it. Some day. Gerry Thornley 23/3/09

Looking at the paddy power €25 top try scorer €5 free bet offer and thinking of throwing a few bets on. People in the know guide me please!!!!
I was going to go on Bryan Habana @10/1 but then saw Jesse Kriel at 33's and am thinking that is better value. Both perhaps? Someone with more knowledge tell me .
Also which new zealanders should I be betting on, taking at least 2 of them and might throw in 1 irish/french so I have a sweat in that pool too.Go big or go homeless.

Folau is lethal also, but in the pool of death, he won't be getting any easy tries and will more than likely be rested in the minnow games.
A small bet may be placed on South African Mvovo. the guy is the cover for Habana, but Habana is past it at international level imo, and Mvovo will score loads of tries against the minnows, and may get a chance in some of the bigger games.

I reckon you want a second string winger at one of the big sides.
Someone who'll start both games v the easier teams in the pool, and will be looking to use big scores to push themselves into contention for starting spot for knock outs.
If we were a try-scoring team, Earls would be my shout.

5pts on Fiji+25. Last world cup, the handicaps were way off for the group games, and i think 25 pts is massive. hopefully the bookies get it way wrong again this year
Not seen them in ages set piece can let them down but no pressure on them.

Was looking bad at 15-0 down great heart and england being poor helped.

i've also made a couple of bets on the semis. I actually think that australia will top group A. England really don't look great, and i don't think home advantage will be enough to beat the wallabies, who are coming together at the right time under cheika.
with that in mind, i've gone for Aus-Fra and Eng-NZ at 30/1 and Aus-Ire and Eng-NZ at 20/1

shrapnel, namibia to beat the handicap vs new zealand yay or neigh? or will they even score/do any bit well?
I'm in a fantasy rugby group and missed that japan had a double gameweek w1 on the site and have fallen behind. Namibia have a double this week but am very apprehensive about bringing any in :PGo big or go homeless.

Cheers, Nonu benched and no Namibians so - twas just a long shot anyway . Both Ben Arous and Woodcock benched means I'll have to transfer someone in anyway though but I'll play it safe with an aussie or something.
Have backed the scotland/aussie double for a tonne too to join in on the bants. Nice tipping so far on the handicaps btw!Go big or go homeless.
