Ah right, you recon it was a case of being worn out, over training?

No.  The oposite, the team holds back just managing to scrape into the semis (last eight teams) THEN they play hard.  The rest of the teams play hard all year and so by the time of the semis, have either hit their stride, or, slow down and fall out of the competition.

I'm always amazed no one has put a stop to it before now.

So they are so dominant that they can plod along in third gear until the
business end of the season and then hit the gas and blow all others away.

is it really obvious and talked about openly?
I can see how it would be frustrating.

The Wooden Spooners of 2020, the Brisbane Broncos go head-to-head with the Parramatta Ells in round one...  I personally feel the Broncos deliberately threw their games last year given they (as part of the Queensland Team in the State of Origin Series) won the "unwinnable" series.  If I'd found an online site I could have put bitcoin on I would have cleaned up.


Why do you think they threw their games Timelord?

Watching the Broncos since their inception they've always played lackluster until the final eight and then they hammer the opposition.  Essentially, they play with the minimum amount of effort to hold themselves back in reserve until the semis and then (when the other teams are starting to feel the effects of the season) the Bronco's ramp up the game play and sweep away all opponents.

Having said that, last year's season was suspended after two matches and the Broncos really did look like they were throwing their games (remembering the other teams had a break and so weren't worn out).  So by the time the semis arrived, they were slowly coming apart at the seams, then the "State of Origin" series was held after the Grand Final (instead of mid-season) - i.e. when the Broncos train to be at their peak...  and they were.




The Rugby Super Sevens is also getting ready to start soon.

World Rugby recommends 2021 Women's World Cup be postponed due to coronavirus pandemic

The Black Ferns may have to wait until 2022 to defend their title after World Rugby strongly suggested the Women's World Cup be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.




Does anyone know of any gaming sites that are covering the Women's Rugby matches?  I can add the sites to the second and third posts.

The postponement has been ratified by the executive committee.

World Rugby has reaffirmed its commitment to delivering a spectacular Rugby World Cup tournament in New Zealand in 2022 after its Executive Committee formally ratified the recommendation to postpone Rugby World Cup 2021.

We all know New Zealand are not shy on taking tough decisions to counter the
effects of the pandemic and the moves have been successful. Could the
competition have gone ahead? look at the Australian Open which was relatively successful.

I might try watch this and get an understanding for the game, if I can find
some channel? or maybe the highlights somewhere.
NRL is broadcasted on Sky Sport in the United Kingdom. It is aired on beIN Sports in France. 
You can purchase the matches legally here > https://www.watchnrl.com/match-centre/.

Alternatively, you can find the channels I mentioned over IPTV, CCcam, or Oscam servers. Be advised that this services are not legal though.

I dont know a lot about Rugby league.

The Panthers look like the team to beat from the sportsbet pricing followed
by a few more, Rabbitohs, Roosters and Storm [winning the 2020 final]

and looks like the first match of round one is a crunch match

Storm v Rabbitohs

I might try watch this and get an understanding for the game, if I can find

Thanks for the reminder, there's a few chores that have been building up over the last few weeks/months...  Now that I'm able to tackle them once again I'd better get with it and cross them off of the list.

Just thought I'd let people know that freebitco.in took wagers on the various Six Nations games for this round that were just held.  (Follow the link in my signature  Grin )

Not sure who else is offering odds other than


(Thanks to @Saint-loup for providing the link to Odds Checker)

Posts two and three have been updated - it's a work in progress.

I posted a list of sites offering odds on the Six Nations on page 1
Just double checking my links below I see that GT Bets are not offering odds on the Six Nations
but they do on other Rugby competitions.

I cannot see any that are offering odds on the Womens World Cup.

Is RL bigger than RU in Australia, I imagine they would have equal following?

Pascal Gauzere admits mistakes to referees boss

Not taking anything away from wales but the ref made a few blunders in the match against
England on Saturday. England were favourites to win the match but it shows on occasions
that the ref can change the outcome of a match eventhough England didnt do
themselves any favours towards the end.

So 2 of 3 games played this week which brings the unforseen Welsh team to the
top of the table and looking like strong contenders for the championship.

The game played against England yesterday was a close one until the last 15 minutes where
England lost their discipline and gave too many penalties away in their own half and Wales
took full advantage to take the Triple Crown Trophy.

Italy     10 - 48     Ireland
Wales     40 - 24     England

Postponed indefinitely, that should mean all bets are cancelled?
Yes it's the only right thing to do IMO, and as you can see almost all sportsbooks have already cancelled them... but unfortunately some other like freebitcoin haven't done it yet.

Well the other 2 games are continuing without spectators of course.
The teams generally have been sticking to health guidelines and up
until now have been COVID free but all it takes is one person to be
infected along with relaxed safety protocols and its a disaster.

Anyway fixtures below

Saturday 27th February

Italy v Ireland - KO 14:15 GMT

Wales V England - KO 16:45 GMT

Sunday 28th February

France v Scotland - Postponed

Am just cross-posting this from another thread.

FRANCE VS SCOTLAND rugby match has just been cancelled (or postponed indefinitely) because of several coronavirus cases.
What will happen to this bet please?

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/feb/25/france-v-scotland-again-in-doubt-following-new-positive-covid-19-test

The Six Nations has been plunged into disarray after France’s match against Scotland was postponed following another positive Covid-19 test in Les Bleus’ camp on Thursday.

No date has been set for the fixture to be rescheduled and it is understood using next week’s fallow weekend is considered risky given ongoing concerns over the outbreak within the France squad.

To be honest, I'm very surprised *any* fixtures are occurring in the European Region given the lack of social-distancing/repeated lock-downs and other things that are causing the Covid to continue to circulate and flare up time and time again.

Second round of games in the Six Nations Championship played this weekend with only
one against the odds upset, Wales taking a win from Scotland at Murray Field.
The results from the other 2 games were as expected.

Ireland playing France today at home and narrowly losing with the majority of posession
but unable to break the French defence for large portions of the game.

England     41 - 18     Italy
Scotland     24 - 25     Wales
Ireland     13 - 15     France

@Welsh, I hope you had your bet on?

Not convincing but a win nonetheless, pure class by Louis Rees-Zammit!

Great game
