Round 15 of the Super 15 continues and we have old foes Melbourne Rebels at home to the NSW Waratahs. Both teams are coming off good wins last week and looking at the Aussie Conference table the Waratahs are only 1pt in 2nd behind the Brumbies now and a win here will put them on top .Waratahs have been here before in this scenario they lost here last year and failed to make the play-offs over it .So there will be no ambush this time and the Waratahs should make amends here .So after looking at the Waratahs line-up it is in my opinion that the value is with Waratahs win here in a must win game especially with the Chiefs away next week .

Amlin Cup Final time and we have Bath verus Northampton in Cardiff .Both Teams were given 1000 tickets each for this sellout game of 12000 .Both with Cardiff only 32 miles from Bath and Northampton playing the Aviva Final next week .We should see a lot more Bath Fans at Cardifs stadium .This is is the Big one for Bath who have a lot of History in this competition played 3 finals and won one in 2008 and that was the last time Bath won Silverware .So after careful consideration with Bath coming off the Bye and Northampton with one eye on next weeks Aviva Final with Saracens makes the +4.5 great value to me .I just cant see Bath +4.5 been around too much longer so we need to grab it now .

Round 14 of the Super 15 continues and we have Cheetahs at hometo the Brumbies . Looking at the Table the Cheetahs are 2nd last and the Brumbies are 3rd on 34pts and with the Sharks beating the Crusaders away this morning they are now 6pts behind them .So with the Bulls away this week the Brumbies really need to beat the struggling Cheetahs to bridge that 6pt gap .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Brumbies win here .

Top 14 semi-final time and we have old foes Montpellier verus Castres in a neutral venue in Lille .And on top of all what is at stake here its also a derby game .So we are in for a cracker here .Castres are coming off a mighty impressive win against Clermont away while Montpellier had a weeks rest .And that weeks rest favoured Toulon last night when they beat Racing by 10pts .Castres are current champions and beat Montpellier last year in the play-offs but I feel Montpellier will have their number today and finally beat them .Weather conditions are Sunny and that will suit the game style of Renger and Tuitavake .So after looking at both teamsheets it is in my opinion that the value is with Montpellier win

Tip Preview:
Semi-final time and we have old foes Northampton Saints at home to Leicester tigers in this midlands derby .Both teams are in a good vain of form but Leicester are Northampton's bogey team as they haven't managed a win against them in the last two meetings between the 2. So its a case of now or never for the Saints on Friday night where weather conditions will be perfect for both teams.Home crowd and a change of Referee should just about swing it for Saints this time and after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Northampton win here .

Tip Preview:
Round 14 of the super 15 continues and we have old foes Hurricanes at home to the Highlanders . Both teams are coming off a win last week and looking at the table both teams are level on points with 30pts each.Hurricanes were very unlucky not to win away against the Highlanders earlier on in the season and they have a much stronger line-up available for tomorrows game .With the play-offs in mind the plan would be to win the game and deny the Highlanders the losing bonus point and after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Hurricanes -7.5 here .

Tip Preview:
We have got the 2nd of our play-offs game with Clermont at home to Castres the winner will play Montpellier next week .Last time Castres lost here by 12pts in April .But they had a week off to prepare for that game while Clermont had Heineken cup duties ,so the ambush was on by Castres and it nearly worked and they blew the chance to end Clermont's impressive home record .Last season they also knocked Clermont out in the semis of the the top 14 .But this time Clermont will be ready and after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Clermont -9 here .

Tip Preview:
Last round of the season and it looks like Saracens have thrown this game resting 20 of their best players .So this one is really a no brainer .But there is only 2 bookies man enough to offer odds Bet365 have them -10 and Boyles .So I am very confident in both caps .So after very careful consideration and after looking at both teams the value is with Leicester -10 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 13 of the Super 15 continues and we have the Brumbies at home to the Sharks . The Brumbies are coming of a big loss to the Crusaders while the Sharks just about beat the Rebels .Looking at the Table the Sharks are 5pts ahead of the Brumbies and another loss here for the Brumbies would be a disaster and after this game the Brumbies go on a 2 game tour of South Africa.
And its Jake whites first game back here since he walked out on the Brumbies last year to coach the Sharks .So that will be a huge motivator for Stephen Larkham [coach] and the players to beat the sharks also this week .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Brumbies win here .

Tip Preview:
Round 13 of the Super 15 continues and we have old Foes the Chiefs versus the Blues in the only New Zealand derby of the weekend .Now the Chiefs play this game in New Plymouth so its the first time they are playing a home game here so it has a Neutral feel to it for the Blues considering how shocking they have been away this season so far .Looking at the table Chiefs are 5pts ahead of the Blues and both teams have the bye next week .So I reckon both teams will treat this game as a must win .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Auckland +7.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 13 of the Super continues and we have Melbourne Rebels at home to the Hurricanes . Both teams are coming off a loss last week .But looking at the table its the Hurricanes who are targeting a play-off place this year and were on a 4 game winning run before that loss to the Waratahs where the failed to pick up a losing bonus point .The Hurricanes have been camped in Melbourne all week and this really is a must win game if they have any serious ambitions of making the play-offs this year with the Chiefs,Blues and Crusaders matches to follow , another loss here could really be the end for them .So after careful consideration I feel the value is with the Hurricanes win here .

Tip Preview:
Round 21 of the Aviva continues and we have London Wasps at home to Newcastle .Wasps lost at home to Bath in Amlin semi-final while Newcastle had the bye .Newcastle are 8pts ahead of Worcester for that relegation spot and Worcester +26 away to Saracens today ,Newcastle look safe enough to me .
Wasps on the other hand will be looking to bounce back from that loss to Bath .And are still in contention for that play-off spot for Heineken cup spot next season .Weather conditions are fine and sunny and will suit Wasps Backs more than Newcastle . So I still see Bookies on oddschecker offering good odds on the asian handicap of -12.5 and the 13+ winning margin [which are the same thing ] .

Tip Preview:
Round 26 of the Top 14 continues and we have Toulouse at home to Grenoble .Looking at the table and Grenoble are 3pts ahead of Bayonne ,Perpignan and Oyonnax so should be safe from the Drop bar Perpignan winning away at Clermont .And I just cant see that happening .Toulouse on the other hand will put all their energies into getting 5pts out of this game so they will secure a play-offs place .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Toulouse -18 .

Tip Preview:
Round 21 of the Aviva continues and we have Sale at home to Leicester .Both teams are comming off the bye week and the weather is fine so we should see a good game .Looking at the table Sale have already booked their Heineken Cup place for next season and cant make the play-offs where as Leicester still have a outside chance of a home semi-final and will be really up to get points from this game . So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Leicester -4.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 21 of the Rabo Pro 12 continues and we have old foes Ulster at home to Leinster in this All Irish Derby.Both teams should be fresh after the bye and both teams will want to win tonight for various reasons .Weather conditions are fine so we should see a some good running rugby. Ulster are still missing Rory Best ,Pienarr,Ferris ,Afoa ,Diack and I feel without this players its just too big of an ask to beat a near full strenght Leinster .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Leinster +1 here

Amlin Cup semi-final and we have Wasps at home to Bath .As I said the same thing about Harlequins the same applies to Wasps and that is their only chance of Silverware this season while Bath have bigger fish to fry with Northampton at home in 5 days time .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the home team Wasps +3.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Amlin Cup semi-final time and we have Northampton at home to Harlequins . Both teams are in great form at the moment.Northampton are on course for a home semifinal in the Aviva while Harlquins only have a outside chance of making the semis .So I reckon all their energies will go into this game because it could be their only chance of silverware this season winning the Amlin Cup and they have also 2 days extra rest on Northampton who looked jaded in the 2nd half against London Irish on Sunday .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Harlequins +6.5 here

Tip Preview:
Round 11 of the Super 15 continues and we have old foes Brumbies v Chiefs playing their first match since last years grand final which the Chiefs won .The Chiefs lost last week at home to the Crusaders while the Brumbies should be nice and fresh after the bye week .The 2 time champions the Chiefs are not the same team this year while the Brumbies look to be a lot stronger .And with a tough game away to the Crusaders next week ,I feel all their energies will go into securing a win at home against the Chiefs .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Brumbies win here .

Tip Preview:
Round 20 of the Aviva continues and we have Northampton at home to London Irish .Northampton have lost their last 3 games in the Aviva while Irish beat Newcastle at home last week .Looking at the table Northampton are 2pts ahead of Bath on the table in 2nd place and with Bath away next .Irish on the other hand are safe from relegation and have nothing to play for .So Im expecting a big performance here from the home team .And after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Northampton -17.5 here .
