Round 25 of the Top 14 continues and we have Stade Francais at home to Bordeaux . Both teams are on 59pts and this really is a play-off for the the final heineken cup spot with only 1 game of the season left after this .Bordeaux are starting to pick up a lot of injuries and Stade Francais have lost their last 5 games but with Sergio Parisse back and its their last home game of the season , I feel they will have a big performance here against Bordeaux .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Stade Francais -8 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 25 of the top 14 continues and we have Racing at home to Clermont .Both teams are in great form at the moment .Looking at the table Clermont are in 2nd place on 69pts ,4pts ahead of Racing .So a win here for Racing will bring them on level terms .Clermont will have one eye on their Heineken cup semi-final with Saracens next week while Racing will have the week off and for that reason I believe all of Racing energies will be focused on the win and try and deny Clermont the losing bonus point.So the value is with Racing -5 here

Round 10 of the Super 15 continues and we have the Waratahs at home to the Bulls .The Wararatahs were ambushed by the Force last week and they were feeling tired after their trip to South Africa. This week they should be back to normal especially with Israel Folau back at fullback after missing the last 3 games .Hes inclusion alone is worth 7pts to the home team .This really is a must win game for the Waratahs who haven't beaten the Bulls since 2005 .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Waratahs -7.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 20 of the Aviva continues and we have Newcastle at home to Saracens .Saracens are on top of the table and really only need one more win out of their last 3 games to finish Ist .And they play Clermont at home next week in the Heineken cup and they have rested a lot of players. Newcastle are 7pts ahead of Worcester for the Drop and I feel will target at least a losing bonus point here at home .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Newcastle +9.5 here .

Round 20 of the Rabo Pro 12 continues and we have Leinster at home to Treviso .Treviso are coming off a win over the Dragons last week and are now 8pts ahead of Zebre for that all important Heineken cup spot next season .Leinster are coming off the back of 2 losses away to the Ospreys and Toulon who ended their European ambitions this year .Leinster are on top ,4pts ahead of Ulster who they play away next ,So Im expecting Leinster to really be up to post a big score on Treviso here .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Leinster -21.5 here .

Round 10 of the Super 15 continues and we have old foes the Chiefs at home to Crusaders in the 2nd of our all New Zealand derbies for the weekend .Looking at the NZ conference table the Chiefs are on top , 6pts ahead of the Crusaders .So the way I look at it this is a must win game for the Crusaders after coming so close here last year with a 1pt loss and with the bye coming for them next week all their energies will be focused on this game .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Crusaders +4.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 10 of the Super 15 continues and we have old foes the Wellington Hurricanes at home to the Auckland Blues in one of two all New Zealand derbies this weekend . Both teams should be fresh after the bye and both teams are equal on 16pts .So who ever loses will find it hard to make the play-offs .But I like the Hurricanes with playmaker Beauden Barrett who is on fire at the moment to just about do enough for the win here and after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Hurricanes Win .

Tip Preview:
Round 10 of the Super 15 continues and we have old foes Melbourne Rebels at home to the Western Force in this all australian derby game . We are now midway through the Super 15 season and the Western Force are now unbeaten in 5 games .And the rebels have lost the last 2 .I reckon this will come to a end here because they are starting to pick up injuries to some key players while the Rebels are at full strenght and are a different animal at home .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Rebels win here

Round 24 of the top 14 continues and we have Racing at home to relegated Biarritz .Both teams will be fresh coming off the bye week and conditions are perfect for running rugby .Racing are still in the hunt for a top 4 finish now .And with Clermont at home and Montpellier away to come ,I feel all their energies will be focused on a big win here and 5pts is a must .Biarritz on the other hand have nothing to play for so after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Racing -19.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 24 of the Top 14 continues and we have Bordeaux at home to Toulon .Bordeaux lost away to Oyonnax last week and failed to pick up a bonus point .While Toulon easily accounted for Leinster in the Heineken cup .So whos going to be the more desperate today .I reckon it will be Bordeaux in this packed stadium in a must win game otherwise their play-offs hopes could end today with stade Francais away next week .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Bordeaux win here .

Tip Preview:
Round 19 of the Rabo Pro 12 continues and we have Munster at home to Glasgow .With Leinster losing last night a win will see Munster edge closer to them and there will only be 1pt between them then .And with the Ospreys beating leinster ,Glasgow and Ospreys are both on 56pts so Glasgow really need to get something from this game to get that final play-off spot .Glasgow rested players for this game and should get a losing bonus point and after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Glasgow +9 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 24 continues and we have Perpignan at home to Oyonnax in this relegation do or die match .Oyonnax were very impressive at home to Bordeaux last week and that win takes them 2pts ahead of Perpignan with 3 games left to play .But Perpignan have had the week off and with 2 tough games to come after this with Toulon at home and Clermont away , I feel all their energies will be focused on the win and denying Oyonnax the losing bonus point .And after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Perpignan -8 here

Tip Preview:
Round 18 of the Aviva continues and we have Worcester at home to Exeter .Both teams should be nice and fresh after the bye week .Looking at the table Exeter are 14pts behind Harlequins for the 6th and final Heineken cup place .its hard to see them catching Quinns with only 4 games left to play .Worcester 9pts behind Newcastle are fighting for their lives and this is a must win game if they are to pull off a miracle and stay up .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Worcester +4.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 9 of the Super 15 continues and we have old foes Lions v Sharks . The lions good run ended last week against the Crusaders and I am expecting the more of the same this week against a fresh Sharks team coming off the bye week .The Sharks are serious title contenders this year under Jake White and if so they need to put away teams like the Lions because there are much tougher fixtures to come away from home than the this one .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Sharks -7.5 here .

Bordeaux are chasing that 6th spot play-off position for the first time and Oyonnax are battling relegation .Oyonnax who 2 pts behind Perpignan are away to them next week .So I just feel all their energies will go into securing a win here and they will be that more desperate today.And after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Oyonnax win here .

Tip Preview:
Quarter Final time of the Heineken cup and we have Ulster at home to Saracens .These 2 know each other very well and faced each other last year in the same scenario, with Saracens taking the honours at home .But now Ulster are at home and will have learned how to deal with Saracens this time and have a great chance here to right the wrongs of last years dismal showing. Ravenhill is a hard task to win for any away team in the Heineken cup .So after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Ulster -2.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Round 8 of the super 15 continues and we have old foes the Queensland Reds at home to the Western Force in this all Australian Derby .The Force have won their last 3 games and are coming off the Bye this week .While the Reds beat the stormers at home and would be well over their recent trip to S.Africa.With tougher games to come for the reds ,this is a must win game for them .Weather conditions look fine .And after looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with the Reds -6.5 here .

Tip Preview:
Amlin cup quarter-final time and we have Stade Francais at home to Harlequins .This is a knock-out game and it looks to me that Stade Francais are targeting next weeks game away at Bayonne with resting 12-13 of their best players while Quinns field a full strenght team for this so its not rocket science to suggest they want to win this game .After taking all this into consideration and looking at both teams it is in my opinion that the value is with Harlequins win here .
