I thought they the lot up. Sometimes they list games their competition names - technically the Russian game was apart of some international comp with Canada, the US and someone else. I use that games in the next 24 hours view on Sportsbet to make sure i'm not missing a game.

After a great start with the Samoa pick and the AUS and NZ unders it was a very dissapointing finish. Those that missed the Russian game should consider themselves lucky as the pick was a lost and they were terrible anyway against an un impressive Canadian team. Also in hindsight the 2nd half bet on AUS/England match was a poor pick. I said myself in the very first post that we would keep it simple with ATS and O/U picks, and stay away from the prop bets. Luckily we've been hitting on the bigger picks so despite being 4-7 we are only down less than 2 units and I am confident we can turn things around this w/e with some smart picks.
YTD 4-7
-1.66 Units
*Note - I have had the most success in wagering on Rugby on the Sevens World Series. It is by far my strongest area, followed by ITM cup and then International Rugby. Don't bet on Super Rugby as it clashes with AFL. Anyway the next Sevens tournament is on the W/E of Nov 30 and Dec 1st. Usually take the whole w/e off from all sports to focus purely on sevens, as with games being played every 20 mins all day for two days it demands your full attention (at least if you plan on making a profit). I got off to a great start in the first leg in AUS last month finishing up 12+ units after two days and picking some big dogs along the way that won at the m/l (Kenya over AUS, SA over NZ - easy money). Will be posting picks throughout the upcoming tournament and will have more info soon.

-5.5 Ireland v Argentina
+14.5 Italy v Australia
even England v South Africa
-13.5 Scotland v Tonga
-14.5 France v Samoa
+17.5 Wales v New Zealand
thoughts ppl? i quite like italy+14.5 they had pretty decent defence against abs last week. -13.5 is way too much for scotland to cover, don't think they have the offense to do it. argen +5.5 looks ok but history suggest they play badly in dublin.Comment -
I'm reading up a bit on Rugby a bit and look forward to watching a match soon. Been tailing Sando in NBA so I tried out Rugby as well. Looking forward to learning a new sport and hopefully winning money with everybody. Sando I hope you still do NBA that weekend but I'll understand if you have your priorities.Comment -
Italy +14.5 (Australia won't blow out any decent team, they'll win but not by more than 2 converted tries).
Tonga +13.5 (they only lost by 5 points againts Italy and i don't think Italy is much worse than Scotland)
The other games are difficult to predict.
If Wales have any pride left they should cover the 17.5 spread, if not they'll lose by 20+ points.
England should win at home against South Africa. Didn't see their game against Australia but South Africa looked very tired the last 20 minutes against Scotland. It was basically a powerplay by Scotland.
Ireland-Argentina will be close, maybe wait till the spread reaches +7?Comment -
i think wales can cover. they got couple of injured players back and after 2 home loses they gonna play their hearts out against the abs. SA has serious problem on their kicking game(or their fly-half). this match could go either way, eng is the fav. here tho. goin for under if totals came out higher than 45.Comment -
...Comment -
any thoughts on the canada vs maori abs game tomorrow -22.5? i wasnt impressed by the maoris last week, they looked really poor against a bunch of non pros although i gather canada are in no form atmComment -
Would definitely take the -22.5 here, canada are terrible and like you said the maori ab's cant surely play any worse than last week.
The play of the season has to be italy + the points, no way aussie are in shape to blow-out anyside and the italians will look to go the full 80 this time after going toe-to-toe with the world champs for half a game. biiiiiiiiiiiiiig play here!Comment -
Canada will cover that 20, the Maoris struggled at times against the Championship XV. Canada are much better than them and beat Russia 35-3. Will need to see if they're getting any more players back.Comment -
no kleeburger/dth van de merwe worries me for canada, i loved canada at the wc but this looks like a very average side.
VERY hard to back the maoris though
do love italyComment -
They haven't played all year, got Jebb Sinclair back who helped them a lot.
Australia will win by 20 or more. Very determined to beat the inconsistency behind them and pile on the points. Best Australia XV all year.Comment -
best australia xv all year? someone forgot about when the wallabies had genia, horwill, pocock etc at the start of the year.
i can't take a team that has cummins, tapuai and sheehan in the starting line up seriously.Comment -
add Ioane and Cooper to the mix..... three-quarters of the Wallaby starters are on the sidelines.Comment -
Thanks again everyone for sharing player updates, opinions and most importantly picks. Just working on my picks for this w/e at the moment.
South Africa @ England
Under 35.5 (-110, $1.90 Bet365) 1.5x
*Bet365 is the only book offering an O/U at the moment
South Africa m/l (evens, $2.00 Sportingbet) 1x
*This total seems low, however I actually expect it to come down further. Both teams are tired, SA in particular who are playing their last match of the season, whereas the poms are more lacking match fitness than anything else as their season is just starting off. Both teams have been lacking creativity in attack and also rain is set to fall at Twickenham.
England has not beaten the Bok's since 2006, also SA's big pack and gameplan usually more suited to a wet weather grinding, territory based game.
Australia @ Italy
Italy +14.5 (-110, $1.91 Sportingbet) 2.5x
*Have to agree with easysaid & sweepem here. Italy looks like great value at home with 2 converted try's start + change against a Wallabies line up missing so many of their guns. Italians very competitive for 1 half against worlds best side last w/e. My biggest play of the w/e. (on my mobile atm but will add a proper write-up to support play).Comment -
I recommend Italy +7.5 first half personally, i remember italy held aus to 6 all @ the WC before getting blown out in the second half like the all blacks did to them last weekComment -
you guys like wales +17.5? bit of rain according to forecast. carter ruled outComment -
Yeah I like Wales - took +19.5 (1.82).
As much as I hate to do it, i'm going to take Scotland-13 with the Queensland TAB. Pretty sick to expect Scotland and their shitty style of Rugby to cover any amount, but the line is moving for them, so we'll see what happens.
My other play for the moment is on one of my absolute favoruite teams in International Rugby (other than the Wannabes and Japan). Taking Los Pumas (Argentina) with the 6 point start at Sportingbet.
If your going to do an international rugby parlay of 3 teams or more this weekend don't forget that both Centrebet and I believe Sportingbet are doing a promo where they will boost your odds with a freeplay up to 50% I think.Comment -
Oh and despite the Aussies winning last week - i'm going to continue fading them. Italy+14.5 (Sportingbet) 1.91. You can get a $1.92 at Sportsbet but I have to re-up there at the moment.Comment -
wales will close the roof if its rainingComment -
oh shit their stadium have a roof? i didn't know that.
thx for notify.
but still... i think wales will put 120% into this game after 2 lost at home. so it either will be a close game or blow out line breaks for abs coz wales tried too hard. cruden is good but nt DC like. my fav. bet still gonna be italy+Comment -
ireland v argen under 49.5 looks really good as well. both defensive team with good history of under games (3/12)Comment -
Who do we like between the Boks and England? I'm taking the Boks $1.91 (Sportingbet)Comment -
tough call, both teams look like crap.Comment -
i really like georgia +2.5 against fiji.
georgias forward pack can match 1st tier teams, its their backs that suck but tana umaga is coaching them right now. fiji are a terrible team, georgia will dominate them up frontComment -
boks rely alot on their kicking games, kicking for goal and kick&chase.
that's why they suckd since steyn having kicking issues. (buried me twice already this nov.)
eng will play hard after the lost to aus and SA june series. (2 close lost and a draw should've been won)
slight fav. to the boks coz its wet and they hav solid forward pack.Comment -
Going with Ireland -4.5, Australia -13.5, England +0.5, Scotland -13.5 and Wales +18.5
Wasps to beat Leicester as well. Good luck everyone.Comment -
That's way too high, will be around 23-13 I reckon. The last 8 games all went under 49.5... I'd hammer that total if you can.Comment -
wow i just saw that tab do have that total....crazy, pity my tab acc is lockedComment
