Rugby and league 2011

It was Nick Farr-Jones who labelled him a 'boofhead'. Can't argue with that. Talented, but flawed. Having said that, he did get jiggy with Stephanie Rice last year ... so you gotta give him a bit of credit.

Not a fan of James "Justin Beiber" O'Connor either. The dude needs to get a hair cut and grow up.

Makes me yearn for the good ole' days of Eales, Horan, the Ellas etc... when the Wallabies stood tall on and off the field.

Quade's a no bigger dickhead than Ali Williams.

[Beniphone]

I hate Ali but atleast he isn't going around kneeing people in the face for no reason.

I hate it when he is doing the haka, he is the only one walking forwards, right at the front with a stupid look on his face, lol

[RLF]

What's worse? Kneeing someone in the head or rucking the shit out of someone's head?

[Beniphone]

If you wanna seal the ball off you deserve it, atleast it was a one off and semi (lol) part of the game

[IDunno89]

Quade is a germ period...

[Duff85]

Just took a pretty big cut at the field to beat NZ @ $2.50 on 5Dimes.

[Beniphone]

Is there any reason for the French to win vs the ABs this weekend?

Win and they have to face Scotland>AUS>NZL

Loose and face England>Wales>NZL

(providing Ireland/Argintina/SAF loose)

I would rather play Ireland/Wales then AUS/SAF in a semi

Yea I was thinking along those lines, French might even send a weak team in ?

[Hory]

Why is the line so low for Italy against Russia (-22.5)?
Italy have a week until their next game against the USA and there's no reason they wouldn't score 4 tries at the very least for a bonus point
Are the books overcompensating for the dog in this?

[Beniphone]

Well they are playing parra at 10 and he has never started in that position for France before, I think I heard there's a new couple pairing up in the backs also. I'm thinking they dont really care too much about this.

I can't see NZ going into the game like that

[rjc]

Any play tonight Benny?

Should be asking why the line is so high. When's the last time Italy scored 4 tries in a game.

Go find that one out.

[Beniphone]

When was the last time they needed to? ^

Na staying off, Italy will be gunning for the points but have a 2nd grade team, can go either way

[hawley]

This will get ugly for Russia.

[RLF]

Looks like they'll get the 4 tries before HT.

[sweepem]

Russia is even worse than i though. Italy should easily win by atleast 35 points.

[rumple]

This Russia team is a disaster.

[hawley]

Russia really are bad.

[sweepem]

Russia really are bad.

worst team in the world cup.

[RLF]

Hmm Aus could put 100 on them...

[hawley]

Hmm Aus could put 100 on them...

They will have an absolute field day.

[Beniphone]

Could be time to hedge with that one.

Tab still have the option open for total points in a match 110 and over at $5.50

[hawley]

Beni I would look at hedging that no one scores 100 bet with Aussie.

[Duff85]

I doubt NZ puts 100 on Japan. I'd look at games involving Namibia for sure and also Russia who are at their first RWC.

Russia got beaten 75-3 by Japan last year.

England and Georgia could be a chance, but given the market that I just looked at, i'd take the $6.00 about none/other with the expectation that Ireland get it done on Sep 25 against the Russians.

Ireland get first shot at them... and I know Ireland aren't big try scorers... but even England were looking to run it up the other day against Georgia. I'd wait till after the Sep 25 game.

Wow none/other was an absolute gift at that price btw. NZ TAB looks like a goldmine for horribly priced props.

[hawley]

Anyone else stupid enough to take the under tonight

Over almost cashes by half time.

[Beniphone]

Sometimes they come out with really strange stuff, I think it is just one person putting them up with no input. Like the tallblacks vs all blacks prop

[Beniphone]

Wonder what the AUS v RUS line will come out as, -70?


USA v AUS is set at 46.5 with the US getting juiced, the RUS/US game was close, this could be playable for AUS

[benrama]

I took Italy tonight as a last second decision, checked the score and thought, phew reasonably close win - then realised it was half-time

Beni - USA should have really won that game by a good margin, so I wouldn't necessarily extrapolate it to the Australian one. Apart from that 3 try burst against Italy, the Aussies have looked pretty ordinary, I think the play has to be USA +46.5.

Gawd I wish I had a NZ tab account - can us Australians set one up?

[SaffaCappa]

Guys I am all over Japan +8.5, got a BIG play earlier in the week. Come on the JAPS!

[Beniphone]

+8.5 here also, with japan team total over 21.5

I must say, If tonga covers the bookies have done very well to draw people in.

Bol!


I can't see why Ozzys can't open an NZ tab account, there's a free line to call on the site I believe.

[Duff85]

Yep pretty sure we've all got our nuts riding on the Japs. Loads of cash coming in for your Boks as well... I just backed them at -56 and -56.5.

[Duff85]

Say what you want about the skills... these guys both play a good brand of Rugby. Neither has even thought about going for three!

Going to be a bit of a nerve racking game I thinks.

These commentators need to take off their Tongan jerseys.

[hawley]

Japan will score enough they just need to keep Tonga somewhat at bay.

Allowing a try on the back of scoring is never good.
