THE Rugby Thread (easysaid, RLF, Sando & others)

**benandjerry** · 11-25-12, 11:17 AM

Good call on Wasps RLF, they were definitely the better side today.

**southmadejd** · 11-26-12, 01:30 AM

Hey sando, can you tell me when I should expect more rugby plays from you? I am really looking forward to the international play because you sound very confident about them. I just wish there was a way for me to catch the rugby games in the states because I love playing the game but it just isn't popular enough in the USA to warrant having a tv station air any of the games. Anyways, I would truly appreciate if you could let me know when to check the thread back out.....thanks

You can always try livetv.ru/en for live streams - they usually have the games on.

got buried by ireland under. argen looked tired. lucky italy cover the points after 1st half thriller and tonga played well. congrats on the great picks sando. can't wait for ur sevens pick. are you gonna sit there watch all the games and make the picks? that's like 11-12 hrs a day for 3 days.

TABs on ABs match this week. most of the books will have the similar line/totals.
+16.5 eng v ab
total o/u 45.5
eng o/u 14.5
ab o/u 30.5 <- goin big on ab over if the weather's fine.

i watch most of the sports in these 2 sites

**benandjerry** · 11-26-12, 11:55 AM

thefirstrow.eu
vipboxsports.eu

those are my two favs for streams

a few others worth a mention

frombar.tv
lshunter.tv

Saw aussies are -3.5 vs wales on some early lines, you guys like them to cover that? Wales have been pretty disappointing so far.

**TBsp75** · 11-26-12, 04:36 PM

wallabies will play hard for their retiring captain and wales will play hard to end the losing streak at home. i like to take the under

**TBsp75** · 11-27-12, 06:16 PM

wales v wallabies
+3.5 -3.5
19.5 22.5
o/u 41.5
-----------------
total seems sharp, was expecting something ard 45-50. now leaning towards over rather than under. last 15 encounters went over 42 8 out of 15 and in cardiff 6 out of 7. wallabies on a 7 winning streak against wales but with their recent form and injuries this match could go either way. thoughts ppl?

**Tim Gerry Mander** · 11-27-12, 07:24 PM

Sando, you like anything for the Sydney to Hobart this year?

**davopnz** · 11-27-12, 08:21 PM

wallabies are a myth, if wales play like they did in the last 20 vs the abs they'll win.

**RLF** · 11-29-12, 01:48 AM

Dubai 7s tomorrow. Fade Australia they have changed most of their squad with injuries to key players.

**Byrone09** · 11-29-12, 03:10 AM

Sando, is this coming weekend the big weekend you were talking about that you do most of your Rugby action?

**benandjerry** · 11-29-12, 04:42 AM

Gonna be a few nice days sports wise.

Bit off topic, is it likely most books that carry these friendly test matches will also post lines for all (majority) of rugby 7s? To get another decent rugby out I considered getting an IAS acc but they were pretty strict with the verification process and required notary signed docs which I couldnt be bothered with, anyone knows if sportingbet is as picky or if just the regular docs would be sufficient?

Thanks, GL this upcoming weekend guys.

From memory, they didn't ask for anything out of the ordinary.
Check their site T&C as I joined a while ago.

**TBsp75** · 11-29-12, 06:19 PM

anyone likeing eng +15.5 after ABs hit by norovirus? after a long 2012 season and illness jst few days b4 game day, there got 2 be some tired legs in the team. red rose kept the scores close most of the time against abs in london.

**davopnz** · 11-29-12, 08:20 PM

theres no way im putting my money on england to keep it close against an angry abs team(about the way the media is portraying them)

**sando** · 11-29-12, 11:56 PM

Sorry there is only 10 minutes notice for this one, the tournament has started earlier than I realised.

Dubai Sevens

France -6 v Canada 2x ($1.88)

**RLF** · 11-30-12, 12:00 AM

USA +10.5
Spain +19.5

**qwe123** · 11-30-12, 12:03 AM

Sando would you take France at -7.5?

Canadians with no hockey might be an angry group. Missed it, good luck Sando.

**shimeon40** · 11-30-12, 12:20 AM

might put something by aussies

**sando** · 11-30-12, 12:27 AM

South Africa -2.5 2x $1.87 (Luxbet)

Kenya -6.5 1.5x $1.90 (IAs, Sportsbet)

**sando** · 11-30-12, 12:31 AM

Well horrible start for the Frenchies and for us, crushed by Canada never mind we'll get it back. No play on Australia first match, want to see them in action first against USA as this team is very different to the Gold Coast team.

**sando** · 11-30-12, 12:33 AM

**RLF** · 11-30-12, 12:36 AM

Scotland +7.5

Adding

Spain +19.5 1x $1.90 (Bet 365)

**sando** · 11-30-12, 01:12 AM

France lose.
Spain win.

1-1 so far, down aprox 1 unit (no time for proper updates)

**easysaid** · 11-30-12, 01:13 AM

Best way to watch all the games.

**RLF** · 11-30-12, 01:15 AM

SA are without Branco du Preez and Cecil, I'm thinking England

**sando** · 11-30-12, 01:23 AM

Well your on fire at the moment mate, 2-0 and Scotland leading at the half. Personally I've had a horrible start. Quite like Argentina, what say you?

Cecil is a big out...

**RLF** · 11-30-12, 01:25 AM

Russia too unknown to bet on that one. Argentina a bit like France as well, don't know how they'll go. NZ line is about right so no play there either. So maybe England and Portugal, will decide later.

**TBsp75** · 11-30-12, 01:32 AM

let's go NZ

**easysaid** · 11-30-12, 01:32 AM

Not a good start mate, hope you pick it up.

**sando** · 11-30-12, 01:33 AM

Kenya win.

2-1

Up aprox 0.4 Units
