IIRC, Hong Kong were sort of big in the 1980'/1990's
Mexico would be a nice addition to see how other teams play.

I believe thats a one off event or mini competition to determine the 12th spot. I wasnt
aware of this event and on looking at the line up for the Tokyo2020 2021 Repechage
here are the teams back then who had a chance to qualify
Band 1: France, Samoa
Band 2: Hong Kong, Ireland
Band 3: Chile, Tonga
Band 4: Uganda, Zimbabwe
Band 5: Jamaica, Mexico

Argentina did quite well in the recent World Cup and I think their star is still on the rise.
It'll be interesting to see if the RWC success (by all teams) is replicated in the impending Sevens Series in Dubai.

Only left one 7 seven team for the olimpics.
I hope we (Argentina) can take the gold medal.

Ah if you bet on the Zebre v Cardiff match I dont think you will get your stake back because
of a draw, I cant remember if that has happened to me before?
If you bet on Connacht to win you did very well, the odds would have been high enough,
over 3.0 anyway. They really bucked the trend by winning at the weekend because they
have never won a match in South Africa so most people were betting on the home side!

I *think* I went with Cardiff's and Edinburgh (and Connacht too) I don't usually bet in a match having a tie, so I probably got a refund on that one.
In the "other" football I've started putting win and draw bets down with mixed results.

I wouldnt have thought of putting bets on so early before a season started.
The Six Nations scheduled for February has already listed the schedule of matches,
I didnt loom at them all yet but Ireland will be playing France inthe first match!!!
This weeks round of URC games are over, the Zebre v Cardiff match turned out to be a
rarity . . . a draw 22 - 22
The Edinburgh v Bulls match went as I thought and Edinburgh won 31 - 23
The multi payed out with all 3 home teams Ulster, Muster and Glasgow winning their matches.
I have to mention Connacht, they were away to the Sharks in South Africa, they have never
won in SA and were 3.60 to win . . . which they did by 1 point, they are up to 4th on the table
now. [I didnt back them to win]

I'll have to check which I put money on later (by rights I should be using my mobile while I'm on the road) I used the last of my funds in the TAB account to place where on round one of the NRL 2024 season which kicks off on the 2nd of March 2024...
Because...
Within three hours of the NRL announcing the roster of matches for 2024, the TAB.com.au we site had posted round one match ups with money having already been put down by the time I spotted it, so I put my standard weekly bets in. (Seven out of eight picks are the favoured teams while theres what I thought would be an obvious pick which other punters didn't think so.
I'll talk about them again in four weeks time.
After that, I went over to my nitrobetting.eu crypto account and put some bets down on a couple of rugby games (these two you mentioned didn't ring any bells).
Usually, motels have various extra channels, so I'm hoping to catch some games live. 🥴

R5 of the URC kicks off this evening my time, I'm trying to look gor some value bets like
Timelord last weekend.
Zebre v Cardiff - both teams are even enough at this stage. The odds have Cardiff
as favourites 2.30 v 1.68, close enough to maybe put a small bet on Zebre?
Edinburgh c Bulls - similar odds as above 1.67 - 2.31, this is a tough call but I would
probably go with Edinburgh eventhough they wouldnt have won last weeks match if Connacht
hadnt made that simple error
I might do a multi bet on:
Ulster at home to beat the Lions @1.13
Munster at home to beat the Stormers @1.21
Glasgow Warriors at home to beat Benetton @1.18
Total odds 1.61

Yes, I've always heard good things about Connacht so I thought I'd go with them. I'll have to be more mindful of Edinburgh as the weeks go on.
... Ah well, Maybe next week.
... Ah well, Maybe next week.
Yea they are getting better and better, they have 2 players on the 1st national team, sometimes 3.
They won the Pro14 which was the competition before the URC in 2016, one of only
a handful of teams to win it. It was dominated primarily by Leinster and Munster of Ireland with the
Ospreys and Scarlets regular winners and Glasgow Wariors winning it once also.
Last nights match they made too many errors and gave away too many penalties.
Todays match between Dragons and Leinster went as expected and as per your bet
Dragons 10 - 33 Leinster

Ah I wouldnt have gone with the Ospreys, Glasgow Warriors are a stronger team and
they won 23-31.
I watched the Edinburgh v Connacht match last night, Edinburgh were very strong in
the first half but Connacht were able to defend well, second half as usual Connacht
can back into it and with over 1 minute to go it was 22-22.
JJ Hanrahan kicked the ball out thinking the clock was in the red but he was over a
minute too early which gave Edinburgh time for the line out on the 10 metre line
and the resulting drop goal to win 25-22.

They were some odds!
Round 4 of the URC kick off tomorrow. The second match will be a hum dinger, Ulster v Munster,
two Irish teams again. Ulster will be out for a win after narrowly missing out to Connacht last
weekend. I think it will be close again and I cant get Rollbit loaded to check the odds.
On Connacht, they play away to Edinburgh, it will be a tough one and hopefully they can retain
their no 1 spot.
More tournaments this weekend::::

I'm not sure of the whole New Zealand team's composition, but there were NRL players not just in the Auckland Warriors, but a sprinkling of other players in various NRL teams.
Odds? I think it was about 5:1 🤔

The whole of last week has been a bit of a blur.
New Zealand pounded Australia 30 - 0 in the Pacific Cup while Fiji was beaten by Papua New Guinea 12 - 32 in a better played game. (Even the highlights on the NRL.com website can't make Australia look good) . 🤔

Whaaat?
I looked at the line up last Friday and thought 'ah well, its going to be an Australia win'
What were the odds before the Australia v New Zealand match? I would imagine the
Kangaroos were favourite given they beat the Kiwis the previous week. There has to
be something wrong somewhere in the Aussie camp I mean it just doesnt make sense
to be dominant one week and the following week to be totally blown off the pitch and
failing to score at least once.

In some cases the "Video ref" isnt even on the grounds! they can operate remotely and
still be in contact with the on field ref!
Rugby Union - URC
Round 3 kicks off on Friday with Glasgow Warriors at home to the visitors DHL Stormers,
tough 3rd match for the Warriors IMO but they are favourites @ 1.37, Stormers are 3.0,
I wonder if they have a full strength team after SA winning the RWC? Thats a tempting bet
to go with the Stormers @ 3.0
Connacht play home rivals Ulster on Saturday. Connacht at home are slight favourites
at 1.75.
The other 2 Irish sides, Leinster and Munster are massive favourites ao no point doing an
ML on them.

From the weekends round 3 of the URC it looks like the South African trams are suffering
from the loss of key players from the RWC. Stormers, Sharks and Lions all lost but it was
only the Bulls which beat Zebre.
I watched the Connacht v Ulster match which was a very close affair with Connacht winning
by 2 points.
The 2 stand out matches for me over the weekend was the Ospreys beating the Sharks
19 - 5 and Benetton beating the Lions 15 - 10, I dont know what the odds were beforehand though?

I'll have to have a look and see if there's any good odds on this games.
In one months time the Rugby Sevens kicks off in Dubai. (Not sure I like the slender game play times)
