Colomiers, Aurillac, Grenoble, Brive (could be Nice) Valence Romans, Biarritz and Dax.

My money's on Ireland, South Africa, France and Australia over Argentina ($4.80) England ($3.10) New Zealand ($$2.15) and Wales ($2.80) respectively. I learned my lesson last week not backing Australia, this weekend I'm backing them.

Week 3 of the Autumn Internationals kicking off this evening with
Ireland v Argentina - obviously Ireland are favourites, 1.20 - 4.50. Argentina seem to
have improved this season but I'm not sure they are going to live with Ireland today.
Ireland need to get back to winning after the loss last week. Argentina are capable
if they can do all the right things.
Tomorrow:
Two massive matches
England v South Africa - I expect SA to bully England
France v New Zealand - If France are on form and NZ play like last week against Ireland
France will win.

no need for the shame, everything was pointing at am England win. Australia are playing here after
the back of only 1 win in the Rugby Championship so they were not favoured to win but OMG that
was a massive win and by the score looks to have been a massive game. nice one!
Delighted for Argentina although I would have been happy if Italy won too. Italy wont be happy
with that scoreline!
Massive win for France as expected but for Japan not to score is not great.
Romania are a decent side, Rugby is quite popular here and its also great to see Portugal compete
against USA, that was a close match also.

I hang my head in shame - my money was on England. The morning radio has been walk to wall with how "our" Wallabies valiantly won in overtime. Yesterday, there was no mention of the game even being on. One of Australia's many faults is it's quick to claim the winning team but shuns them if they look like loosing. (Worse still Australian's are quick to howl for the captain's head if they don't perform - Cricketing Captain Kim Huges in the late 1980's is the textbook example.
Argentina won too as did New Zealand (I actually bet on Ireland 🥺)
Favourites Tonga lost against Romania as did Portugal bettered by USA
Other games yet to play, South Africa vs Scotland, Wales vs Fiji,

Bit of an upset last night! and something which I eluded to during the week, the
dreaded upset happened, Ireland 13 - 23 New Zealand.
From an Ireland point of view it was a very frustrating game to watch, while NZ were
not in top form themselves, Ireland failed to take the win. It was an error laiden
game on both sides but NZ looked more match ready, Ireland looked rusty.
England v Australia coming up next Timelord. I would like to see the Wallabies show
some improvement but today its a big ask against a strong England team.

Nope, he was from the Ulster region!
November 06, 2024, 04:06:58 AM
I love hearing stories such as those - I wonder if the Irish born captain originally hailed from the Munster region?
Have seen Japan is yet another national team playing this weekend?

I'm mot sure how the decision came about for the touring New Zealand team to play
Munster back in 1905 came about. Interestingly though the captain of the All Blacks
that first year was an Irish born man! The fixture isnt an annual one, they have played each
other regularly but only 10 times.
I'm going with all the favourites this coming weekend.although I can see possibly
2 upsets, Ireland to lose against NZ (very slight chance) and Wales to lose to Fiji.
Although I do see the Welsh clubs as improving hopefully this transpires into
the national team.

Bit of a traditional fixture, Munster v New Zealand XV but it went the way of the southerners
again 24 - 38. It was a close match but New Zealand put more distance between the two
late in the game when Munster were worn out! Munster have only beaten the All Blacks
once! way back in 1978!
New Zealand v England also went the way of the All Blacks in a very tight match
22 - 24.
Scotland piled on the points 57 - 17, that was always on the cards.
6 matches coming up next weekend. Teams to watch out for as regards Performances
Wales, Italy and Argentina.

Early weekend updates:
Northampton and Coventry RFC have won their games.
I nearly missed these:
Saracens, Bedford Blues ($1.85 - 37.5+) Gloucester, London Scottish ($1.85 29.5+), Ampthill ($1.85 28.5+) over Bath.
Wales Women vs English Women.
And Munster Vs New Zealand XV
(Am only putting a couple of dollars on these games - hopefully it might draw more people into the tread - am thinking @Welsh and some one time visitors)

Wow Timelord, that is some amount of bets! I wouldnt be doing anything
near that amount.
I will be doing a few on the Internationals for this coming weekend, thats
about It!
1.56 on New Zealand to beat England is a great price, hard to pass that. The other
match is Scotland v Fiji byt the odds are shocking for Scotland 1.06. Cant see fiji
causing an upset @ 8.06.

I've got bets on fifteen of the French games
FD2 Grenoble, Dax, Biarritz, Beziers, Aurillac, Aix-en-Provence, Brive, Colomiers.
F14 Bayonne, La Rochelle, Toulon, Perpignan, Pal, Castres, Clermont,
In the internationals I have PNG England and Scotland to win. And new Zealand.
Have just picked up a few Satoshi on the Dodgers winning the game (two of the last three I had wagers on) and the World Series. I didn't know it was on until earlier in the week when one of the local radio stations started raving about the Dodgers.

Thats some nice picking though Timelord, a lot of winners there. I just did 2 bets
this weekend, bets on 2 underdogs. Benetton to win at home but they lost by just 2
points 15 - 17 against the Vodacom Bulls who are now up to 3rd spot on the ladder.
I also bet on Glasgow Warriors to win away to the DHL Stormers and that they did,
17 - 28. I figured because they came close last week and are an improved side they
had a great chance, happy with my reckoning!!

Had mixed fortunes in Rugby - Connacht, Leinster, Sharks, Stade Francais, Cannes, Racing Metro, Bordeaux, Bath, Gloucester, Bristol and Montauban all won their games.
Favoured teams with shorter odds: Ulster, Edinburgh, Stormers, La Rochelle, Lyon, Saracens unfortunately lost.
While still to play: Toulouse and Exeter.

There used to be a Soviet "games" in the same vein as the British Commonwealth Games - Victoria in a white ant moment decided to pull out of hosting the games so a cut down version has been cobbled together.
It makes sense that accommodation would be at a premium.
Betting agencies got on board with the Olympics - I can only imagine they will once the Commonwealth Games carnival rolls into town once more.
In the meantime, even though I don't follow the northern hemisphere games (Rugby) closely I'm placing $5 wagers on the favorites which is good when I look back in to see how the teams do overnight.

Picked up a win on Montauban overnight and have just put more bets on other favourites for the Gallagher Cup.
Bristol, Gloucester, Bath, Saracens and Exeter are all expected to win.
I also heard Ruby sevens have been dropped from the cut down Commonwealth Games.

The commonwealth games dont register much here because we are not in
the British commonwealth anymore thankfully!
I believe the Rugby 7's are cut because of the fact that its a team sport along
with Hockey and there are shortages in accomodating the amount of Atheletes.
On the regular Rugby Union club season I havent tuned into the English
premier league yet

Thats the autumn series for Rugby League, The Autumn series for the Rugby Union internationals
start next week with England v New Zealand. There are 6 weeks of matches and Timelord the last
match is Ireland v Australia!!
Its also interesting to see that Georgia and more interesting to see Portugal getting a match each
against Italy and Scotland respectively, I dont expect either to win their matches.
URC continues tomorrow with Round 6
Benetton v Vodacom Bulls - Bulls are favourite but I wouldnt discount the Italian side to be able
to win this @ 2.46
DHL Stormers v Glasgow Warriors - Warriors came close last week to beating the Sharks and
even though the SA teams are very strong at home Glasgow could pull an upset here @ 3.10
They are my two bets, something different than betting on the favourites.
