Glasgow missing 11 players on duty with Scotland at the World Cup and have 7 injured players on top of that

Ulster have named a decent looking side and had a good win v Harlequins last week - even though the 2 games between these 2 sides were very close last season(Ulster coming out on top on both occasions) i expect Ulster to win handy here

Ulster (-11) 10/11 WH

Was hoping some1 would stick up some total points markets here but nope!! Not yet anyway - fancy unders

Cardiff missing 8 player at the WC - fancy Edinburgh to come out strong here and put the pressure on early

Edinburgh (+2) 5/6 PP half time handicap

And will have a play on unders total points maybe if priced up

Think its a fair team they have out - dont know a lot about some of the Dragons players but its hard to see that Munster team hammering them

interesting to see Lukey at 12 for Leinster.  Wonder if he is putting himself in the window should Darcy not get on the plane

Tonights Treble

Harlequins +2 @ 10/11
Ulster -12 @ 10/11
Ospreys -2 @ 10/11

Thank fook for that late try - Chris Henry

Ulster 28-14 ft

Leinster gettin taught a lesson 27-3 down

gl with Harlequins tommorrow TF - should be fine imo, i expect a win

Shocking stuff from Leinster opening night - not a great way to start the season.

Wd on the Ulster bet BJG - it won and that's what counts.

Good luck with Quins TF

well done trade fair got your treble up ... harlequins beat London Irish 29 -24 ......
I m sticking with The dragons tonight in the handicap against Munster  ....+ 12 now available with boyles

Quins win but made it hard on themselves, had a nice bet but made me sweat all the way - were the much better team but gave away a few handy scores to keep Irish in touch, a few Irish players shuda seen yellow too, ref was very lenient with them the 2nd half

wd on the treble tradefair

An early upset on the cards too with Leicester at 1/8 strugglin v Exeter - down 2 points with 15 mins left!

Exeter held on to win BJG 30-28 ....great win for them in Welford road

Deserved to win but were lucky in the end - Leicester missed 2 DG's in de last 4 mins



Only bet for me in the Munster game tonight is Niall Ronan anytime tryscorer! Should see plenty of ball and is usually good for a score

4/1 anytime with WH

Munster win 20-12

wd mick

Thanks BJG ...... two poor sides ......Two good tries from munster in fairness although the defense from the dragons for them was shocking .....Take coughlan , murphy, sherrys throwing  and a few others out of Munster team at present and they are  very average ....Warwick a big loss to them for these kind of games .......I ll be interested in how they price up glasgow / munster next weekend ...... Good weekend of rugby bets for the forum

A good first half performance but were v poor the 2nd half. Not convinced by Keatley myself

Discipline was poor too - 3 sin bins, was 13 v 15 for a while the 2nd half so prob did well to win the game!
