Super rugny kicking off tonight, I'm a degen so in on the first game!
The Crusader forwards are going to obliterate the Rebels pack, it's a total mismatch apart from Higginbotham for the Melbournians. Scrums are going to be a joke the 'saders should be earning some free penalties there even against their feed.
I don't feel there's a huge gulf in class in the backs however (maybe!). Rebels look okay in the backs, Inman and Ellison are a decent enough midfield combo and getting Harris to replace Woodward who made his way back to the homeland isn't losing much. Interested to see how their rookie first five goes, played brilliant in a dominating team in the ozzie comp but this is a big step up from that.
As far as I can tell the weather looks okayish, bitta wind. Maybe some light rain at the end of the game.
Think the Crusaders come out pretty hot here and first play of the season is them to score over 15.5 in the first half, possibly could get away with just a try to get this. DC is lights out and I can't see a bit of break hurting his goal kicking.
The other lines all look pretty sharp to me so maybe add something at HT.
0.6U at $2.00 Just a warm up bet!
