Pro 12 kicks off and we the Scarlets at home to Munster . Home team will want to get off to a flyer and I was going to tip this @1unit only for the Rain predicted during the match .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Scarlets -2.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Ranfurly Shield time and we have North Harbour away to holders Waikato . Its been 9 years since Harbour held the Shield and they will never get a better chance to take it from Waikato who are missing their spark Damien Mckenize .Weather now looks to be dry , so that a big plus also . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with North Harbour +7.5 here . ( Various bookies on oddschecker offering +9.5/+9 /+8.5 so shop around for the best cap )

Tip Preview:
Round 2 of the Mitre 10 Cup continues and with 2 tricky away fixtures to come , I feel the home team will throw the kitchen sink here at Southland who are possibly the worst team in the comp , So anything less than a big win here will be deemed as a failure if they have any ambitions of making the play-offs for promotion .Note the wet weather predicted is the only thing can kill our bet. So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Manawatu -10.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 1 of the Top 14 and we have Clermont away to Rochelle . Yes a hard place to win but with another 2 away games to come after this I feel Clermont will put all their energies into getting a result here again like it was in round one last season . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Clermont +2.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Currie Cup and we have the Lions away to the Griquas . Lions will be looking for 5pts here to keep the pressure on top of the table the Sharks and I am expecting an even better performance from them this week , so after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Lions -21.5 here .(Couple more bookies on oddschecker offering similar odds on the -21.5 also )

Tip Preview:
Rugby Championship Round I and we got old foes Australia at home to the All-Blacks in Sydney . Look Australia has been preparing for this game since 25th July , with a daunting away game next week I feel they will throw the kitchen sink here at the men in Black . Aussies are back to full strenght with their european players who were missing during the test series to England and we all know now Australia hasn't got the depth to replace those European players so I will rate them as good as they were during the world cup for this game and not what I saw against England . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Australia +6.5 here . ( Various bookies on oddschecker offering the +6.5 / +7 also , Bet365 is offering +7.5@1.80 if you can get that first take it .)

Tip Preview:
Round One of the Mitre10 Cup ( ITM Cup ) kicks off and we have old foes Harbour at home to Counties . Harbour have been very impresive in the trial matches leading up to this and with 2 tough away fixtures to come I feel they will throw the kitchen sink here at a new look Counties team missing several of their better players to injury and also they have a new coach so it will take him time to find his feet , Harbour beat a mush stronger Counties team at home last season so why will this be any different . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with North Harbour +2.5 . (Various more bookies offering the +2.5 /+3 on oddschecker )

Tip Preview:
Currie Cup and we got a put together Kings team just to make up the numbers against a Boland team whos here on merit because they finished 3rd in the Currie Cup Qualification comp . I just cant see how a team just put together in the space of a week or so and a new coach can be expected to win their first game , this will take time . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Boland +4.5 here . (Several more bookies on oddschecker offering similar odds on the +4.5/ +5 also )

Tip Preview:
Super 18 semi-final time and we have old Foes the Hurricanes playing the Chiefs at home in the Cake Tin . It really is a big ask for the Chiefs to come here and beat the likes of Beauden Barret & Co after all the Travelling they have done this last week or so . Wet weather could also show its face again and that will suit the home team more after playing brillantly in the Rain last week . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Hurricanes Draw No Bet here ( Couple of more bookies on oddschecker offering similar odds on the Draw No Bet option also )

Talk about getting out of Jail with our Highlanders bet , Finally ladyluck is starting to go our way this month so we keep going till it runs out .
Ok Hurricanes are on a mission this year as we saw last week how powerful they can be all over the field , Sharks in my opinion are just here to make up the numbers as they finished 8th , Just like I said about the Bulls they too have no business in the play-offs . With bigger fish to fry the Hurricanes should easily put this sharks team to the sword especially in dry conditions . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Hurricanes -11.5 here ( Which was the original handicap at the start of the week )

Tip Preview:
Super 18 Quarter Final time and we have the Brumbies at home to the Highlanders . Since the odds came out on sunday the Highlanders have been backed heavily the -1/-2 cap is now -4/-5 everywhere . I was also of the opinion that the Highlanders were good things but I am not sure about the -4 cap now because 1. Rain is expected for the game and 2. the Referee isnt neutral so that's after throwing a spanner in the works and I just cant risk the cap now . So after taking this into account and looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Highlanders Draw No Bet here . (Couple of more bookies on oddschecker offering similar odds on the Draw No Bet also )

Tip Preview:
After last week's try bonus point win away at the Crusaders it seems the Hurricanes are determined to right the wrongs of last years Final loss to the Highlanders . Nothing should stand in their way now because the Travel Factor the other teams mentioned above really kills any chance they have of winning the Final . Its just too much of ask because in the History of the Comp ( 21 years ) its only been done once by the Crusaders and they had it a lot easier playing their semi-final at home in new zealand and then travelling to Australia to beat the Brumbies in 2000 . So after very careful consideration it is in my opinion that the value is with the Hurricanes Grand Final Winner 2016 . ( Various bookies on oddschecker offering similar odds on Hurricanes Grand Final Winner also )

Tip Preview:
Last round of the Super 18 and we have the Jaguares at home to a Lions B-team . The start of the week the Jaguares were +9 against a full strenght Lions team and the Bookies took a big hit on tuesday when news broke of the B-team . I couldnt tip it because only Bet365 had markets up and the other 3 bookies I only use didnt so what could I do .Remember I always tip at least 2 bookies from the list of 4 bookies I use . Anyway after looking at both teams I still see value in the Jaguares -11.5 here remember they beat a bulls team by 18pts here 2 weeks back and thats the cap I would have had it at . (Various other bookies on oddschecker offering similar odds on the -11 /-11.5 also )

Last round of the Super 18 and we have the Highlanders at home to the Chiefs . Talk about a must win game for the home team because if they lose this they are back on the plane again to South Africa to play a well rested Lions team or the stormers , Regardless of what happens with the Crusaders and Hurricanes the Highlanders still need to win and deny Chiefs a losing bonus point to finish as best wildcard so they can play the Brumbies away in Australia which is about 100 times better than having to back to South Africa all over again after just coming back from there it will be their worst nightmare .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Highlanders Draw No Bet here ( Several more bookies on oddschecker offering similar odds on the Draw No Bet also )

Tip Preview:
Lat round of the Super 18 and we have old foes the Cheetahs at home to the Bulls . Both teams have nothing but pride to play for but I feel the Home will want to finish on a high especially after been robbed by the Referee last week and its been big news all week in the Rugby world . Last season the Cheetahs finished the season with 5 wins and they can equal that again with a win at home over the Bulls here . So after llooking at the Bulls team it is in my opinion that the value should be with the Cheetahs +5.5 here . ( Various bookies on oddschecker offering great odds on the +6.5 /+6 /+5.5 also )

Tip Preview:
Super 18 and we have the Stormers away to the Force . The home team will have the travel factor to contend with against a Stormers team who seem to have hit their straps at the right time of the season and will be looking for 5 points again against a pretty average team on paper . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Stormers -8.5 here . ( Couple of more bookies on oddschecker offering similar odds on the -8.5 also )

Tip Preview:
Super 18 and we have the Crusaders at home to the Rebels . Simple maths this one Crusaders will need all 5pts here after failing to pick up a losing bonus point last week against their old foes the Chiefs and will be out to right the wrongs here back at home in front of their loyal fans . I know the Cap was -14.5 at the start of the week but after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is still with the Crusaders -19.5 here .
(Various bookies on oddschecker offering even better odds on the -19.5 / -19 /-18.5 also )

Tip Preview:
Super 18 and we have the Highlanders away to the Jaguares . This is a must win game for the Last year's Champions , lose this and they might not even get the last wildcard spot especially with the Chiefs waiting for them when they get home . The way I see it they have prepared well for this game giving all their key players the week off last week and none of them have jet lag to get over either seen as they werent part of the squad that went to South Africa . Jaguares on the other hand have nothing but pride to play for and have had no rest may have have one eye on next weeks last home game of the season game against the Lions . So after very careful consideration it is in my opinion that the value is with the Highlanders -6.5 here . (Note Bet365 are offering -5.5 and so are several other bookies on Oddschecker so shop around for the best cap )

Tip Preview:
Super 18 and we have the Jaguares at home to the Bulls . Last chance saloon for a win for the home team with the Highlanders and Lions to come after this , I feel they will throw the kitchen sink here at this average Bulls team who barely beat the Sunwolves away earlier on in the season and have no business in the play-offs this year . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Jaguares +1.5 here . ( Couple of more bookies on oddschecker offering similar odds on the +1.5 also ).

Tip Preview:
Super 18 returns and we have Waratahs away to the Sunwolves . Both teams have been affected by the June Internationals so no advantage to either team . Brumbies and Waratahs are both on 34pts and aiming to be Conference winners because the loser probably wont make the play-offs .So the Waratahs must take all 5pts from this game against a team with nothing but pride to play for . And with the Hurricanes at home next week , I feel the Tahs will throw the kitchen sink here at a team who were also beaten by 26pts by the Rebels at home earlier on in this season . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Waratahs -23.5 here ( SBO is offering -22.5 and there is a coiuple of more bookies on oddschecker offering similar odds on the -23.5 also )
