Rugby and league 2011

[SaffaCappa]

Beniphone, I understand your hedging on the Aus -72.5 but that side looks bizarre!
Aussies will get the 4 tries and then close shop, hoping for no injuries. They will have one eye on the QF with the mighty boks (Which should be their last match of RWC2011 )

I am on Russia +71.5. Aussies win by 40-50 pts

[RLF]

Australia 80+

2 of O'Connor, Samo or Mitchell to get a hat-trick. Backline should score a try 50% of the time with possession.

[PickApprentice]

Still a very good Aussie side! They will want to play for the full 80mins here. The bench will provide the killing blow later on during the match! Samo on the wing, can't wait to see what that guy can do. Dean is smart as he can act as an extra forward in situations and that would ensure turnovers balls are less likely for the Russians. Dean could have easily play another backline player, but he has a speical present for the Russians!

What is everyone on for the SA/Samoa game ?

[Gee]

I can't bring myself to play samoa, but like the movement toward them.

prob no play for me.

[Beniphone]

Just playing the over 47.5

[SaffaCappa]

Over 32.5 South African points for me
And Bismarck anytime try scorer for smalls

[peterw111]

I'm with U Saffa:

I was looking at the Line and totals but the Team totals seem better options...

Just took SA OVER 32.5pts and Samoa UNDER 15.5 pts..... QUITE CONFIDENT both HIT...

[benrama]

Game now 5 mins in, but I took Samoa +18.5, will probably sweat it all the way but I liked how they hung with Wales and think they can keep this close enough.

[hawley]

Springbok forwards are getting it done so far but if samoa can score here they are well in this game.

[benrama]

Springboks are playing clinical Rugby - all the while reminding me why I can't stand watching them play I mean - going for a drop-goal in the first 5 mins of the game?? What a crock of sh.it. Sooner they change the rules for that in Rugby the better.

Samoa are playing enterprising, running Rugby and have nothing to show for it - at least they are the ones making this a great game to watch.

[hawley]

Springbok are going to destroy Australia in the QF I think and a SF with the ABs should be a great match.

Samoa have done well to limit it to 13-0 playing into the wind.

[Beniphone]

Games got the pace, defence is just too good, good game tho

[benrama]

Yep - SA are a good chance here to get to at least the SF; their defense is rock solid and they just look for their spots to turn the ball over.

They will also kick for goal any and every opportunity they get; so will be grinding out points on the board. Wouldn't be surprised to see them get 21 against Australia ... and not necessarily score a try

[hawley]

Samoa on the wrong side of a few calls tonight.

[Beniphone]

This is a good game

[hawley]

Plenty of intensity out there.

Keen for a bit more biffo before its over.

[Beniphone]

Great game, alot of injuries for SAF

[sweepem]

aargh South Africa looked like shit in the second half.

[TheMoneyTree]

I like the look of:
Pumas +23.5 (@ 1.80) vs Bulls

Are you South African?

[kingsr]

Love the HEART that the Samoans played with! Wasn't a very polished performance, but damn they could've near won that game if they were a little more disciplined and polished!

[hawley]

F. Steyn gone for the tournament.

Thats huge

[ExodusNZ]

Great game, alot of injuries for SAF

LOL

So alot of injuries for that quarter final. Hopefully makes for an easy Semi for us! provided we can get past our QF!!

[RLF]

Not really, they can now use JdJ who offers them much more.

[RLF]

I hope you guys hedged no one to score 100+

[hawley]

I played Australia at a horrible line during the week and forgot about it ( -73.5)

[ExodusNZ]

Anyone like the over in the France/Tonga game ?

[Duff85]

Not on it huge, but took France-25.5 ($2.00)

[hawley]

I like the under.

[Angela]

Like the under too...should be a pretty dour affair. Also quite windy and threatening to rain out there.
