Easysaid - Rugby Union Picks

[easysaid]

yup, certainly id rather be on it that the under. Just not sure that auckland will rise to the high scoring game and might try keep it low scoring to stay in winning reach.

welli/naki/doggies multi for me

[davopnz]

raped...doubling up on naki

[davopnz]

do you think naki win by 13+ here?

[twinky99]

ouch... lets go naki..

[easysaid]

Auckland played awesome today, think they were just the better team. Wellington foward pack is rubbish, error after error.

[Vinnie Paz]

Damn wtf just happened

[twinky99]

naki. u had TWO minutes...

[davopnz]

ouch

[steve19]

Naki chokes on the line money

[easysaid]

wtf just happened??

[sweepem]

You have to thank the Northland scrumhalf. In 95% of those situations they take the sure 3 points to get the bonus point and then go for the Try after the kickoff.

[easysaid]

I turned tv off with 5 mins to go, thought we had it, backdoor covers make or break people.

[TBsp75]

tough luck. after 60mins really feel like taranakis got sore legs from the mid week match.

[steve19]

made some coin back on bulldoggies, mean

[davopnz]

canty -4.5 looks mean

[davopnz]

any thoughts?

[TBsp75]

another nice week ppl. any thoughts on mid week matches?
possible light rain in bop v welli. match and heavier rain in south v northland match according to forecast.
any1 likes southland -5.5? i think its an advantage for them to play in the rain. prob gonna win more turnovers at breakdown.

also like the under 41.5 for AB v Puma game. 1st time for most of the AB players to play in argen. both team had a week off so might start the game with a bit of rust. both team showing amazing def. ability so far this competition.

[easysaid]

Sorry guys, im getting a bit bored with writeups but ill still post my plays.

Current Pick -

Wellington -3.5 over BOP - 2 Units

New Zealand/Argentina Game total u40.5 - 5 Units

Northland +5.5 over Southland - 4 Units

SA -6.5 over Australia - 5 Units

Goodluck, variance is overdue after losing my last two plays (one by 3 points).

Currently im 21-6 (100% in International Rugby) in rugby picks and im looking for a solid 70% year!

[sweepem]

Like all your picks except SA -6.5 over Australia.

Australia has won the last 5 games against SA. I know they have some injury concerns but it will be a close game like it always is. It's also hard to go against their luck. See the 3 games against Wales, the last game against SA and Argentina.

[RLF]

SA will win 13+

[TBsp75]

i agree with SA will win by at least 1+ try.
Aus hasn't been playing well + injuries + cooper talking trash + SA at home is real tough to beat.
only concern for me is that steyn been missing his kicks.

Steyn is god awful when traveling but should be fine at home kicking at altitude.

[TBsp75]

yeh true and they are playing in pretoria. he should feel more comfortable there.

[nosaij]

wellington winner btw!!

[Ghenghis Kahn]

northland is now +7. is someone injured?

[easysaid]

take it at +7 very good value.

[davopnz]

do you like the under in the northland game?

[easysaid]

Northlands look like shit out there, im staying away from them untill they get some confidence.

EDIT - Absolutely stunned, blues came out firing in the second half and we managed to scrape the hook!!

[gangeriver]

Another winner, even my +5 hits, thanks easysaid

[hawley]

Steyn didn't even make the team

[TBsp75]

Steyn didn't even make the team

it's good for our bet IMO. steyn's been bad not just the goal kicking. been missing targets on all the kicks. high kicks, kick for touch etc.

Can honestly say I haven't watched south Africa play once during this series


Anyone else like Waikato tonight? Tasman were really bad against Otago, I like Waikato to roll them.

[easysaid]

Exactly this is good news, steyns only gift is his kicking game and when he is missing easy penalties he is a waste of space, SA should play alot better offensively with johan goosen at flyhalf. I expect this game to go over..
