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.

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)

The NRL has a "bunker" with a video ref - viwers get to see the replays, rewinds and freeze frames in real time. It's accepted by everyone and there is now a "captain's challenge" where one team can request a video review (usually towards the end of game play when teams are looking to catch their breaths).
October 31, 2023, 06:59:58 AM
During the Grand Final I was watching with interest the video referees who had a pannel In front of them with a wide variety of camera angles. At one point, one of the operators used their fingers to zoom in in the game play frozen in their monitor as a person would do in their camera phone.
I've no doubt the camera clarity for broadcast is that much better (and it would want to be with a global audience watching on).

Yes its a great system, but I thought for a lot of the matches where there was room or need for the video ref
to get involved they didnt, eventhough we were shown replays of a particular incident in question.
Anyway the idea is also that the game play is speed up with no need for extended deliberation on the field,
the decision can be made fairly quickly and play resumes. Overall its a good system.

So.... we just see the MOST lucky champion in the history of Rugby World Cup?.
They win by one point in QF.
They win by one point in SF.
They win by one point in the final.
They win by one point in QF.
They win by one point in SF.
They win by one point in the final.
...and the only team that beat them was Ireland!
For me New Zealand deserve to be the champion, they played way better with one men less, and they missed two chances with the foot. GG For me the red card was TOO MUCH in a final in the frist half, you cant blow that as a red card.
I disagree, IMO the scoreboard reflects the performance of both teams, SA were only
marginally better than NZ. NZ had some very good attacking play but they also
made a lot of errors due to the SA defence and ferocity in the tackles.
The RED card decision was correct, its something the officials have been cracking
down on -head contact-
If NZ had been at full 15 man strength they probably would have won though.
Yes we can have diferent point of views clearly and i understand what yous aid and i also agree in some with you, in high performance sports a nail or a hair can make the diference between being champion and not.
About Ireland yes really sad, it was one of the better team by far.
For example right here, for me the NZ player doesnt have bad faith in his tackle and was a fast play, you are not thinking about damage or injury the other player and also you dont fully understand the play. Different is for example when in a kick a player knowing he is being late charge with so much force and damage the other player.
I agree with you, it happens so fast, half a second, but thats sport and sport gambling,
the game and result can be determined and changed by a split decision, a mis tackle, or
a momentary loss in discipline.
With Rugby being a simple game with a fair amount of rules the officials are very much
on top of the play so all infringements and errors are caught and dealth with.

Pity for your bet Timelord, would have been nice for one of us to have won.
Pity also that we didnt get more interest from other members to place a wager,
chances are then that someone would have won the pot.

Overnight Australia Vs New Zealand (both men's and women's) NRL Pacific cup games occurred. The Australian men won their game while the Jilleroos lost their game against New Zealand for the first time since 2016.
Thats a big upset for the Jilleroos. The Australian RL is very strong so most people
would expect both the mens ans womens sides to win.

Way too close to call....
The last five minutes were breathtaking. I could see NZ wouldn't be able to maintain possession but then RSA gave it back ... and then it kept going back and forth.
Getting a scrum with 23 seconds to go was near heart stopping.
Congratulations to the victors the Republic of South Africa.
It wasnt a great match, it was riddled with errors from both sides but the conditions
were tricky I suppose.
Yea those last 5 minutes were real nail biting stuff and the scrum in the dying seconds
was real drama. GREAT ENTERTAINMENT
Am back in (should never watch Rugby and surf the net at the same time...)

In a few hours New Zealand and South Africa clash in the Final of the Rugby World Cup. (The calm before the storm). I haven't heard anything to suggest South Africa will win.
RSA are ahead 12 - 11 after 60 minutes and a no try to NZ followed by a try seconds later.
Through in attention just a little while ago I've managed to lock myself out of my main account while watching the game.
I'm going to have to reset my password a little later today.
