Ireland beat Scotland 36 - 14
England only just scraped in over Samoa 18 - 17
Wales convincingly bet Georgia 43 - 19
I saw in Friday that England are already into the semi finals even before their encounter with Samoa.
Argentina play Japan in a couple of hours. I'm still expecting Japan to win but it's a must win for both teams who are tied for second on nine points in their group. Then, as the day progresses, Romania and Tonga square off before Portugal and Fiji play.
Argentina are into the semifinals with a convincing win over Japan. At half time Japan trailed by just one point, but in the second half Argentina slowly edged ahead and by the seventith minute had etched out a comfortable lead.
Final score Argentina 39 - Japan 27
Next up, Tonga and Romania face off in around two hours.

3 matches yesterday went fairly well as expected....results wise.
I watched this match and TBH the final score suggests a handy win for Wales but Georgia
troubled them for a bit and with 60 minutes gone it was 24-19 but after thay Wales ran in 3 trys.
Wales play either Argentina or Japan in the Quarter finals
The scoreline says it all, England left it late to score their winning Try and conversion
on the 76th minute. I didnt see this one but even if they had lost I think they would
have claimed top spot.
England play potentially Fiji if they beat Portugal today.
As expected, eventhough there was a lot of talk that Scotland had a real chance of
beating Ireland, Ireland won - comfortably.
Ireland play New Zealand in the Quarter finals
Next up in about an hour Japan play Argentina in a pool D decider for second place.
The odds are 5.2 for Japan to 1.21 for Argentina. Based on Argentinas performance
so far I think Japan have a chance to win and 5.2 is a great price, they will have to lift
their performance too though....

New Zealand - over 79.5 @ 1.85 is a realistic bet I think!
Alternatively Uruguay under 79.5 @ 2.45?
Final score 73 - 0
I get the "over" but what does it mean "under" for Uruguay? I can never figure those bets out. (serious question) does that mean if they keep New Zealand to under a 79.5 leed you win a payout?
Yes thats it! you are kind of betting on the losers but losing within a window of points.
With the last play of the match NZ had an attacking move which almost resulted in another
try, luckily Uruguay defended to the last second and won a penalty....phew.
Tomorrow, Italy and France... (look away, it's going to be painful)
I really hope Italy can put in a decent performance against France and get totally shell shocked
like what happened against New Zealand and let 96 points pass them.

At the moment, South Africa (15) England, Wales, Ireland (14 each) and France (13) are all at the top of the points with Australia (11) and New Zealand (10) and Argentina (9) filling the top two of each pools.
(source https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/2023/pools )
The semis according to the website show the top two teams from each pool progress as follows:
which would mean Japan will be out unless they can overtake Argentina (the same goes for Fiji overtaking Australia)

Most of the games are very one sided (especially when it comes to the odds on offer)
Australia have blown out to $501:1 so the punters don't feel they're going to win.
Japan is at $6 against Argentina. While I'd like to see Argentina do well in the cup, I've put a dollar on Japan to win that game.

The world cup always shows up the difference between tier 1 and tier 2 teams,
in Rugby unfortunately the difference can be massive. I think its similar in Soccer
when it comes to world cup time but sometimes lesser teams can hold out for
a draw or be beaten by only 1 goal.
The team of the tournament as a lot of commentators are talking is Portugal.
Even though they lost 2 and drew 1 their attacking play and scoring ability
has been noted but as I mentioned before the tier 2 teams tend to struggle wil
the set pieces.
Japan v Argentina - this could be a close one. Both teams are under performing
and both need to lift that when it comes to the quarter finals.

Nice one Timelord!
4 Grand final appearances for the Panthers and 3 wins in a row! Serious team and a great
season for them after a shaky start to the season.
Union - World Cup
Last round of pool matches this weekend coming starting with New Zealand v Uruguay
on Thursday followed by France v Italy on Friday. That will be pool A sorted and its going
to be France and New Zealand going through. I would live to see Italy trouble France.

On the non crypto tab.com.au site I've been putting $1 in each of the top four teams on the ladder for the "to make too eight" to make top four" "to make the GF" "to win the GF" etc
I made overall $100+ on top of what I put in which has refilled my wallet quite nicely.
I also had two parlays in the GF one the women's and men's games which won and a second parley including the Brisbane Tigers whi lost their game.
All up I picked five or six from each round enabling me to break even, or, get a little ahead.
Yes, the grand final was bizarre. The Broncos gave the Panthers eight points, then lost by two. Adam Reynolds was just about in tears with a haunted look on his face after ful time.
Great comeback.

Bad day really at the office for the Broncos kicker, that first short kick and resulting
try by the Panthers inside the 20th minute was comical. He did make all his conversions
though. Great game though, very close fought but the Panthers were stronger in the
last 20 minutes.
I loke that it wasnt a one sided affair and the two best teams of the season got
to battle it out for the title.
I definitely didnt make any money this year on the NRL, the early season killed me.
October 01, 2023, 03:58:17 AM
Bronco's Adam Reynolds kick in the twentyith minute resulted in the Panthers first try.
They need sound effects with a trombone.
Wah-waash-waaaaahhhhhhhh
The Women's game was tough - ten minutes into the second half there were multiple stoppages with heavy knocks.
The Knights leveled the score with less than ten minutes to go then scored again with just minutes to go.
In the NSW State comp, the Rabbitohs were always going to win with some NRL players having been demoted essentially to their reserve grade which the Brisbane Tigers don't have.
Edit.
After doing the splits, Adam Reynolds have the Panthers another two points with a near identical short kick from the try line.
Half time and it's 8 - 6 after the Broncos score a late try.

Tomorrow, Australia has another tough game against Portugal
Normally we would expect Australia to blow these tier 2 teams away but obviously
they have been struggling lately. The odds would suggest they are still going to win...
comfortably. Australia 1.02 - 18 Portugal.
This is actually going to be an interesting match, Portugal were able to get a draw with
Georgia and like Australia have the same points difference ~ -20/21
League NRL Final
Compliments of ROLLBIT I can watch the match on their site as they are streaming it.
September 30, 2023, 10:19:05 PM
Despite how the three teams played, the favoured teams won comfortably by all accounts. While the Fiji score wasn't they much better, they did win.
Tomorrow, Australia has another tough game against Portugal while the Republic of SA should overcome a solid effort by Tonga.
The first of the NRL finals is underway. At half time, the NSW Cup winners Rabbitohs are leading 12 - 6 against the QLD Cup winners Brisbane Tigers
Soon the NRL Women do battle with Newcastle favoured to win, then tonight - the big one with the Panthers favoured to win over Brisbane.

Another bad game by Argentina, an easy win as expect, but i still notice the same mistakes we have in other games, and these are other players pure subs, but the same fails. We need to wake up.
And man i dont see the game, but close to the miracle was Georgia.

An easy win alright but the performance was not as good as we expected. There will
be a showdown match not between Argentina and Japan for that second spot in the pool,
I expect Argentina to win that too !
Fiji v Georgia - terrible game to watch, so many handling errors. Fiji failed to score in
the first half and Georgia only scored 3 in the second and almost scored a try to at least
draw with the last play of the game.
Rugby League - Australian National League Grand Final
In a few hours the reining champions Penrith Panthers take on the Brisbane Broncos.
The panthers are favourite at 1.65, Broncos are 2.50. I fancy the Broncos and would
like to see them stop the Panthers from winning again!

Yes I agree with your winners.
I'm really looking forward to Argentina in 10 minutes, they really need a super performance
today to keep their hopes for advancement out of the pool. With a big score difference
they should go second today.
Welcome to the Rugby thread bitbollo.
You are right, there is little hope for Italy in this game against world cup royalty.
Italy have been improving slowly over the last couple of years, that doesnt
necessarily show in their results, one of the biggest improvements they have made
is at no.10 and being able to score penalties which was always a very weak position for them.
You are also right in that New Zealand are not quite the force they were in the past but
they are still very hard to beat.
The odds reflect what we talk about
New Zealand 1.01 - 22.00 Italy

well you're too optimistic at least. I try to find some betting sites that allow to bet on the game but nothing
only handicap betting I was tempted to place some bets related "under" for Italy, but ok nevermind.
Yesterday I watched the match and it was a kind of shock like in second part of the game when NZ was scoring literally every 5 minutes. I am pretty sure I will never see in my life Italy rugby team be able to win against NZ
Wow that was some performance by NZ. Italy's set piece play was their weakness, line outs &
scrums were a problem and biggest of all the rucks, that is where they got turned over the most.
Italy had two great attacking plays which resulted in try's but their possession was too little.
NZ were phenomenal and Italy are not as bad as the final scoreline suggests.
You can bet under/over with ROLLBIT as well as handicap for the Rugby!

Japan won their match against Samoa in a close game. Next up they encounter Argentina who are still managing to impress.
This morning New Zealand thanked Italy for providing a light training session before they go home.
Tonight my time Argentina should fend off Chile, Fiji should likewise decimate Georgia then Scotland should win over Romania.

In tomorrow's NRLW grand final, I'm picking the Newcastle Knights (first on the ladder) over the Gold Coast Titans (third on the ladder) who are playing in their first Grand Final.
I've followed the NSW cup even less than the NRLW games, so I'm only going to speculate the Rabbitohs over the Tigers.

Tomorrows game is interesting - New Zealand v Italy.
Even if actually my Country has performed well in this world cup, I don't know if there is a real match since each time Italy has ALWAYS loss (bad
) against NZ. Ok NZ is not the best NZ team that we have see but it's still too strong for them
