Round 2 of the Pro 12 continues and we have Ulster at home to Zebre .Zebre are backing up from having played on Sunday to Cardiff who scored 5 trys against them . So now they have to play a Ulster team whos only home game is this in the first 4 rounds .So it really looks like lambs to the slaughter here with Ulster looking for the Try Bonus point win after last weeks draw away to the Scarlets.So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Ulster -21 here .

Round 4 of the ITM Cup continues and we have Tasman at home to Waikato .Weather conditions look fine for the game so we should see some good running rugby from both backlines .Waikato are unbeaten away from home so far this campaign but it was against weak opposition . Ive been very impressed with Tasman over the last 2 seasons and they look even stronger this year and with tougher games to come they should easily beat Waikato at home . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Tasman -8 here .

Round 3 of the Rugby Championship continues and we have Australia at home to South Africa . South Africa remain unbeaten after their 2 games against Argentina while Australia are coming off a a heavy defeat against the All-Blacks away.Coach McKenzie has rung the changes and I expect to see a big reaction from the Wallabies in this must win game because they play South Africa away next week .So after looking at the Australia team it is in my opinion that the value is with Australia win here

Tip Preview:
Round 3 of the Top 14 continues and we have Oyonnax at home to Stade Francais .Stade are 2 wins from 2 so far while Oyonnax have yet to record a win after 2 away games . But its at home where Oyonnax will focus on all their energies and this really is a must win game for them .But instead of taking the win we are getting great value in the Oyonnax draw no bet option as before when we backed the All-Blacks away to Australia where we had the win and the draw gave us our money back . So yes it is in my opinion that the value is with Oyonnax Draw No bet .

Tip Preview:
Round 2 of the Top 14 continues and we have Montpellier at home to Grenoble .Montpellier lost a close game at home last week to Racing .They have a great chance to make amends here . And I was very impressed in how they played in the 2nd half last week.If they turn up and play like that for the full 80 mins in perfect conditions tomorrow Grenoble wont be able to stop them . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Montpellier -10 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 2 of the Top 14 continues and we have old foes Toulouse and Castres .Neither team basked themselves in Glory last week , Toulouse just about won and Castres lost to Stade Francais in a so called home game .Both teams have rung the changes for this derby clash but Toulouse look much stronger with 9 changes to the team that struggled to put away Oyonnax and Castres are not the same team from the last 2 years and may just struggle this season.Weather conditions should be perfect for the game .And after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Toulouse -8.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Pretty simple this one South Africa will go after the bonus point here . And by doing so they will be 3pts ahead of the All-Blacks and Australia . I cant see Argentina getting anything out of this game especially with a New coach whos a rookie at this level .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with South Africa over 4.5 trys here

Tip Preview:
Round one of the Rugby Championship and we have old foes Australia at home to the All-Blacks at ANZ stadium .Its groundhog day again for the Waratahs and the Crusaders players who played here 2 weeks ago in a very tight game . A penalty decided that game and it could have went either way . So I just feel the All-Blacks will have that extra hunger to make up for that loss and they are also chasing a record 18 games unbeaten. Also Rain is predicted and what Ive seen down through the years is that Australia cant adapt to playing wet weather rughby so Advantage the All-Blacks here also if it Rains . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is backing the Draw No Bet option instead of the win on New Zealand. So we end up getting the win and we get our money back if its a draw .

Tip Preview:
Round 1 of the ITM Cup and we have old foes Canterbury at home to Auckland in the biggest game of the round . Both teams are missing players due to International call-ups .Canterbury are going for 7 straight title wins this season while Auckland will be looking to at least make the Final. Weather wise theres a bit of Rain around and hopefully it stays away for the game .
So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Auckland +6.5 here.

ITM cup and we have Championship match between Southland and Bay Of Plenty .Bay won here last time out while Southland beat them away last year .Showers are predicted so handling will be tricky .

Round 2 of the Currie cup continues and we have Natal at home to the Pumas in this derby game .Both teams are coming off a win from last week . And weather conditions look good for the game . Winning at home is one thing but I just feel the Pumas will be up against it here against the Bookies favourite to win the Currie cup outright . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Sharks -12.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 1 of the Currie Cup and we have the Pumas at home to the Free State . The Pumas are back after been relegated and then dropped from the Currie Cup . So with Natal Sharks away next week ,I feel all their energies will go into this game to win or at worst get a Losing bonus point . Otherwise they will be facing relegation again . Weather conditions are perfect and after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Pumas +6.5 here

Tip Preview:
Super 15 Final 2014 and we have the Waratahs at home to the Crusaders .Both teams have about 10 different reasons for wanting to win it .But thats not how Rugby games are won and especially Finals .The way I look at this game is that we have Australia v New Zealand in a Rugby Union Final and New Zealand have been the No 1 side in the world for the last couple of years and this Crusaders team has names like Read ,Carter,McCaw,in it so after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Crusaders +2.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Semi-Finals time and we have Crusaders at home to the Sharks .This is the Crusaders first home semi-final since 2008 and they lost the last 2 away in 2012 and 2013 . So you could say they know whats required at this stage to get to a Super 15 Final . Sharks on the other hand only have themselves to blame for finding themselves away in a semi-final again . That loss to the stormers at home and the Cheetahs away have them were they are today .So this is what we have have here a Crusaders team coming off the bye nice and fresh at home with a kiwi referee against a S.African team whos had to Travel with no rest.It really is mission impossible for the Sharks So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Crusaders -7.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Super 15 Play-off time and we have Brumbies at home to the Chiefs at Canberra stadium .Both these teams know each other fairly well and its a repeat of last years Final which the Chiefs won . Chiefs are going for the treble this year while the Brumbies will be looking to win the comp after going so close last year .So both teams know whats required to get to a Final . But I like the Brumbies especially with the Carrot of playing the Waratahs in a Super 15 semi-final if they beat the Chiefs and with home advantage and a homer of a referee in Graig Joubert I see great value in the the bet option of Brumbies to Qualify @1.53 instead of just taking the win @1.57 . Because I reckon this game will be very tight and could go to extra time . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is in Brumbies to Qualify here .
