i'm on canada +13.5 with sando, kleeburger and trainer back - excellent players, hirayama out is a concern but i think they can go toe to toe with england still.

So is Duke (6)

[thorny]

Hirayama out is really showing, lacking his playmaking

[davopnz]

no answers for england attack, that was shocking

[OZnBa Fan]

What sport we talking about here I'm lost

[thorny]

Melbourne V @ CC Mariners

2* Over 2.5 (-110/$1.90 Pinnacle)

2 (penalty), 4 (unconverted try), 6 (converted try) are the main scoring numbers. Field goal is worth 1 point.

difference between 8.5 and 9.5 isn't much, the only way you'd lose is via field goal. Rarely do games end with a 9 point margin, it's either 8 and then 10.

Lol! Crack up.

Mate, if you don't know the difference between Rugby UNION and Rugby LEAGUE then might be a good idea to avoid betting on it ay.

The Sevens is Rugby UNION.

Try is 5, converted try 7. Field goal (drop goal) and penalty are both worth 3. However these are rare in Sevens. Unless going for the win/draw at the death.

[davopnz]

anyone elses heart sink when isles got the ball at the end there? holy smokes that was a crazy finish!

[thorny]

nzgamma, not very smart are you? Try reading my post in context...

That is all.

[davopnz]

south africa -18.5 for me in the next(over an hour away) russia are and south africa have amazing defense, russia will be lucky to score.

looking at argentina +10.5 against samoa but unsure right yet

Since we're on the topic, interesting article about match fixing in Soccer (football), including an Australian match:

All I saw was the guy asking about the key numbers in RUGBY. For Americans, 'Rugby' refers to Union, league is league.

[davopnz]

365 have -24.5 for the saffas, you might wanna lap up that -18.5 on centrebet soon

[davopnz]

also centrebet nz -23.5, 365 -29.5.


france 2.45 to beat kenya, france were very good against nz, kenya looked very poor against portugal and i don't expect much from them this tournament

Dont know when these allegations were made but they sound very familiar to the ones made by Declan Hill in his book The Fix, released in 2011 or 2012 if I'm not mistaken. It includes allegations of match fixing by Singaporean fixers who claim to have fixed games at the 2006 world cup including the Italy vs Ukraine quarter final. He also claims that the Ghana national team were paid off during that world cup as well. Fascinating claims and a really good read. Who knows what to believe at the end of the day.

Yeh I knew why you were mistaken, regardless, the response was pretty poor form...

Yeah don't know what to believe with the fixing

When he posted a reply to a specific line to a game already being discussed, it is fairly obvious which sport he is talking about. We all make mistakes, but you should check before you call people out for being incorrect, especially in that manner and especially when they are trying to help others!

Anyway, I am leaning Aus to cover too, but not sure if I will pull the trigger. There is some easier soft money with a sportsbet promotion (money back if Aus lose by less than 10, up to $100) for those that are willing to take shorter odds too.

[Cobra Kai]

Wow, 4 CLEAR chances by Victory in that first half. Including one goal which should not have been given off side. Lets see what the second half bribgs.

2* Over 2.5 (-110/$1.90 Pinnacle)

The most bizarre match, 0-0 at HT but I all reality the over 2.5 should have probably cashed already. Some terrible finishing in front of goals combined with some fantastic saves.

Anyway still confident there will be at least 2 goals in the 2nd Half

HT Play
1* Over 1.5 [full game] (+105/$2.05 Pinnacle)

Yeh I'm all over that promo...I don't see Aus losing by over 10.

Good work davo

[davopnz]

Cheers mate, I smashed the -18.5 and the -22.5 on NZ before the lines went up, hope NZ can be the job done.

I don't mind France @ 2.45 to beat a kenyan side that desperately misses Mike Friday...however it is france so wouldn't play anything serious there, I can get +5.5 @ the nz tab might have a wee wager on that.

Looks like Argentina are probably going to cover, didn't end up playing that.

I think England will destroy usa, Fiji destroyed them despite poor discipline and USA dominating territory and possession in the first half, England looked very clinical in their first game and will bring much more heat on defense and at the breakdown.

[davopnz]

Argentina end up betting Samoa.

South Africa should smash Samoa. Samoa full of inexperienced players. Argentina looking very good.

The mariners vs victory is a reminder as to why I dont watch the a-league. The quality of games are so poor.

Yeh would rather watch Football League One or even Two...Australian soccer isn't getting anywhere compared to MLS. I cringe thinking about our chances in the WC.

[davopnz]

great turnaround by kenya, very good defensive performance. france will be france

[Cornelius]

I mean I am from Australia so I do want the aussie league to be good but man.. it's so bad.. Similarly the NBL. Gosh they're bad.

I agree with you about the WC. Our squad isn't even close to what it was last WC or even the WC before that.

[Rustyglobes]

The Australians looked good in that second match against Spain as are the Welsh now vs Scotland. The next game between these two (Aus vs Wales) should be a cracker
