Silly me - I picked the Raiders who were mauled by the Tigers. The crowed as a whole cheated on the Tigers. Then midway through the second half when Canberra rallied, the crowd as one fell silent only to start booking ten minutes later whenever the Raiders looked like scoring.
There were plenty of disallowed tries and one player sent off.
The Tigers now move off the bottom of the rung sending the Eels to the ocean floor.

And in the final of the United Rugby Championship it was Glasgow warriors who
came out on top! FINALLY
Vodacom Bulls 16 - 21 Glasgow Warriors
TBH its not what I was expecting and not where my money would have gone.
Glasgow's defense was brilliant, only letting in one try while scoring and converting
3 themselves.
They deserve it, they have been knocking on the door since the "Celtic League"

The Super Rugby Pacific Grand final occured last night - the Blues beat Waikato last night in their final showdown relegating The Chiefs to second for the second year in a row. From all accounts it was a good game but the scores were some thirty points difference.
... Unlike the Titans 66 - 6 win over the Warriors setting new statistics records such as the highest winning margin by Gold Coast.
The Dolphins were level at 18 - 18 against the Storm, but in the end, Melbourne edged ahead to win by six at 30 - 24
The other two games saw the Roosters beat the Bulldogs while the Rabbitohs beat the Sea Eagles (a key win for Souths)
This afternoon, the belugured Tigers stare down Canberra

This weekend there are some international friendlies starting tomorrow with Japan v England,
followed by South Africa v Wales and the Barbarians v Fiji. England and South Africa I can see are favourites.
Next round is on the 5th and 6th of July, Australia take on Wales and Ireland take on South Africa
in SA, and then again a week later in a different stadium.
In this series of internationals there are a few interesting one which probably wont be easy to
find on tv and probably wont be listed for betting?
Canada v Romania
Samoa v Spain
Chile v Belgium

Both the Dolphins and Sea Eagles will be without key Qld SOO players. Not sure about their opponents, but I'm going to pick them anyway.
Last night, both the Women's U19' NSW and their male counterparts beat Qld in their SOO one offs (the men pounded Qld into oblivion).

United Rugby Championship __-- The Grand Final --__
Vodacom Bulls v Glasgow Warriors
Bulls have home advantage here and the South African teams have been difficult
enough to beat on home territory. The Warriors have a big job ahead of them.
Odds 1.29 - 3.75
Under 52.5 @ 2.03 could be a possible outcome, I just hope the Bulls dont run away with it
and that the Warriors can give them a nice tight match.

United Rugby
My hooes and bet for Leinster to meet Munster in the final came to a grinding halt with Leinster
been beaten but I really thought the Munster side of my combo was the safest, they also
lost. So its Bulls v Glasgow Warriors in the final.
The Warriors have it all to do and TBH of all other teams they deserve the championship
title. They have come the closest to winning but never did out of all the teams even back to
when the tournament was called "The Celtic League" played between Irish, Scottish
and Welsh clubs.

I'm watching a replay of the Blues Vs Brumbies semi final - whole sections of the stadium are empty. I'd heard on the news that they couldn't get anyone to buy tickets (not the least of which two NSW teams playing). After seventeen minutes, the blues are ahead, 19 - 6, so it's no surprise they're in the final.
I also caught the Eels being out played by the Roosters in a fairly evenly matched up, but low scoring game. The Roosters led early. Then, after the half time break, the Eels came out thrashing taking the leed only to have the Roosters score two late tries to make it a mathematical impossibility to score two tries and convert with just three and a half minutes to go.
(And we've still got Sunday's matches to play over the next twelve hours).

The Titans are ahead of the Tigers at the moment. If they win, that'll be two from four.
In Wellington, the Chiefs added further and further in front of the Hurricanes in a less than full stadium to win 30 - 19 (the Hurricanes had points denied to them multiple times - a very one sided match, but was good to watch).
The Chiefs now move into the Grandfinal.

The Chiefs will play the Blues in the final, and thats next weekend already! TBH
I havent been following the Super Rugby League, there is too much happening at
home with the United Rugby, Champions Cup Rugby, Chellenge Cup, Top14 and
English Premiership Rugby.
In said United Rugby Championship the Semi Finals are kicking of in 15 minuted,
I really hope Leinster can win in South Africa Against the Bulls, I have my combo bet
in for the two Irish sides...
UPDATE ...and its FT in South Africa, Bulls 25 - 20 Leinster

Tonight, the Sharks and Dolphins square off against each other. I expect the Dolphins can ward off a mauling. The same goes for the Broncos. If they can't find off the Rabbitohs this week, then their mix season jinx during the Origin Series has come back to haunt them. That and their injury list.
My pics this week are Dolphins, Raiders, Broncos, Titans, Storm, Roosters, Sea Eagles and Panthers.
The Sea Eagles in 11th on the ladder could nudge the Broncos into the lower half of the ladder, but I can't see the Knights or Warriors climbing any further.

Well your first pick is in the Green, Dolphins win against the Sharks 28 - 30, thats massive for them
to beat a top 3 team on the ladder and are now joint second. That will change as the matches
progress through this round.
As for the Broncos, they better win this match tomorrow, its a dangerous draw for them because the
Rabbitohs will be looking to build on last weeks performance, whether they can or now will be revealed
shortly.
Hard to believe there are only 12 rounds left after this weekend!
Just looking at the Panthers again, they are cruising really at this stage, definitely ones to watch for the
title, I imagine they are favourites ?

In the finals of the Super Rugby Pacific competition, they are practically giving away tickets to the Blues Vs Brumbies semi final. Two Australian teams playing in Auckland tomorrow evening. In Saturdays other semi final, the Hurricanes and Chiefs play for a slot in the finals. Essentially the Aussies are deciding who will clash with a Kiwi team.

URC Semi Finals
This Saturday is semi finals time in the URC.
Bulls south africa v Leinster ireland
Munster ireland v Glasgow Warriors scotland
I'm going with a combo double bet on both Leinster and Munster @ 1.86. Leinster
have the tougher task away to the Bulls who finished up in 2nd on the table behind
Munster but Leinster will be still hurting at not being able to secure a tournament
win in the Champions Cup for the third time in a row.
I would be very confident Munster can hold off the Warriors and will be only
too happy to beat Leinster in the final such is the rivalry between these too Irish sides.
It would be great to see an all Ireland final

I'm a bit worried for the Broncos, they are sitting now in 8th. If they dont "pull up their
socks" they will be heading towards the bottom.
Rabbitohs - well well well now they have decided to put in a performance, wouldnt at all
be surprised if they start making their way to the top 8.

Last Thursday was game two and the Queensland Maroons managed to steal
a win on the 68th minute with a field goal, everything hinges on game 3!

and any hope we had of the Tigers continuing to win some games after their great start to
the season have been truly mauled.

All 4 teams playing at home won their matches
Munster 23 - 7 Ospreys
Vodacom Bulls 30 - 23 Benetton
Leinster 43 - 20 Ulster
Glasgow Warriors 27 - 10 DHL Stormers
TBH I was fairly confident that Munster, Vodacom Bulls and Leinster would win but I
had my doubts about the Glasgow Warriors, they did well.

The Tigers were never going to win last night against the Dragons, but given they lost 56 - 14 it's almost dazzling that they managed to score at all.
My other pics are Titans, Cowboys, Broncos, Storm, Sea Eagles and Bulldogs.
In the Super Pacific Rugby the only one with good prices is the Btumbies game.

Game one of the 2024 NRL State of Origin kicks off in under two hours. My money is on Queensland to win.
Game two of the Women's SOO is in 24 hours from now.
It was a fairly gritty game with a NWS player sent off in under nine minutes due to a head collision that saw the Qld player off for the rest of the game after a H.I.A. (head injury assessment).
Three of the end to end running trys by Qld were through the hole made by the NSW player sent off. One Dolphins players did his teams "fin" salute when he scored the first try of the night. Qld captain Dally Cherry-Evans was player of the match repeatedly setting up try assists including a precision kick from the left straight under the goal posts which was grounded by another Qld player who scored three of Qld's tries.
Given Dally Cherry-Evans is on a high (and also Captain of the Sea Eagles), I'll say the Sea Eagles will win their game this weekend.

Just reading about that head collision here
There is actually a bit of controversy around Joseph Sua’ali’i's appointment.
Crazy play and wreckless too, kind of goes back to the early days of NRL "rough and tumble"
and "anything goes" type of play. That Red card definitely had an affect on the game outcome.
So the Mens Maroons have a win in the pocket.
and the Womens Blues have a win in the pocket. Blues are favourite for todays match
Its probably going to go Queensland Maroons for the Men and NSW Blues for the Women.
