So I know they have a man in the bin currently,but have they had a man sent off ? That might explain the price 
It was a pen for sure, but this is Pollock reffing and that means that the whistle bears no relevance to what actually happens.
Just seen the Red card top left corner.
Schoolboy error by myself

TBF, it's gone from 1.12 since you commented to 1.24, so......
Blues flanker sent off in the first half stewards. They've been the better side for the most part though.
Second breakaway that they simply haven't looked like converting. Keep it in play, find a support man and run them off their legs.
Thanks RM.
Gonna be some tired Blue's legs last 10.

Straight in at the side of that maul and none of the officials interested.
And then the Blues give it straight back!
What a killer that is. Work so hard and then Williams just completely fluffs it.

wouldn't be over concerned to be playing chiefs next week they have been poor
Have they blown that????
Incredible to not score there. Takes some sort of dedication to the cause to **** up with so many extra players.

They have, and yet by rights they should be well out of it. Chiefs keep bombing these walk-ins and making stupid errors.
This is getting ridiculous. Thats another great chance completely fluffed.
I had a few quid on the overs line early in this half with the thinking that tired legs and extra space should equal more tries.
Finishing has been utterly woeful though.

Indeed it has.
I've got a bit of a split position. Small green Chiefs, bigger green Blues, significantly bigger green draw. And am effectively on the Chiefs -18.5 at 3/1....

in view of playing with 13 and 14 I thought the Blues were the better team.
no wonder the Chiefs ship so many tries ... there tackling can be woeful.

The next game isn't the easiest to try an claw back my losses,both teams very unpredictable.
I see the rebels have released Beale today (as well as o connor ) fair play to them if players can not accept the club culture and ethics their undoubted individual talent and international backgrounds count for little Maybe Bath should snap them up as company for Gav H
Really fancy Warratah in ths next game. Genia and Horwill not playing - I think a win will mean they get to play Crusaders in NZ too, a loss and it looks like they will get the Brumbies in Oz. Gotta be in their minds
Cuts down dramatically on wage bill as well getting rid of O'Connor and Beale
Daft signings in the first place. Force had no sort of pack, needed to sign heavily in that area, so bought two full-backs who wanted to be fly-halves instead.

Waratahs have nothing at all to play for though, that's always a bit of an issue.
Saying that, if the Reds are thinking the same thing then it levels out.

falou missing for tahs reds have won last 4 between two agree genia big loss for Reds big game from cooper would not surprise me to further embarrass Deans
Reds (the team who may not want to win) v Waratahs ( who may not be good enough )
Certainly looked forward from the angle we get to see.
So much for two good defensive teams though.

because Walsh didn't see the forward pass the Reds had to knock it on
I like the apology

If you are going to run sideways so a fat front-row can line you up that's whats going to happen.
Standard of refereeing in this comp is absurd. Purely farcical decision.

"It's not tiddlywinks" Tana Umaga shouts across the Tasman......
Not sure I have ever seen such a cack handed winger as Betham
Ha ha, Walker has to take that crown. He was something special.
Quade Cooper showing the world how impressive he can be. For the opposition.
When he is forced to kick it will get even worse......

I'm not a Cooper fan, RM. Couldn't really understand why people were suggesting he was so much better than O'Connor.
He can be. On his best days he's the best in the world. He has never ever had a good day without Genia beside him though.
On his worst days he's an enormous liability and you would be better off with Ceri Sweeney at 10.

If there is any consistency at all Ulugia goes off here.
His first yellow was an absolute farce, but compared to that one this is a stone cold certainty for a card.
Which means they wont give it..........

Walsh let him off there as remembered he fecked up the first yellow decision
So what do you have to do to get a card? Punching doesn't count. Tackling people legally is a yellow though.
I am starting to buy into the theory here that the reds do not want to win - too many obvious errors coming up to keep them away from NZ next time
with any luck this game will keep walsh away from the finals
every game Walsh refs degenerates because he loses control.
he should have retired years ago.

Question is, why are the Waratahs trying to lose it?
Awful game of rugby.

Walsh had a word with the scrum half at half time to say stop putting the ball under the no.8s feet.
Why do you need to talk about that, is there not a whistle for that?

And they wonder why union is struggling to compete in Australia. Only the Brumbies show an inkling of attacking intent or ability.
Doesn't look like a try. Probably should give it anyway to reward some effort, it's not like they can possibly score otherwise.
I've found the route to profits here though - back unders and wait for utter **** rugby.

That sums up the TAhs. Disgraceful decision making. Very poor for that level of Rugby
Tahs end up with BArnes kicking a DG on his wrong foot. Before that they had better opportunities
Last throw of the dice for me today.
Mogg anytime Tryscorer(otherwise it's turned into an exspensive morning)

Force a very BIG price at 1.94 leading 14 - 3 @ HT. Brumbies are lacking energy. Brumbies have nothing really to play for in this match. 3rd place is sealed. Makes sense to me to go in big on the Force.
I remember watching The Force hang on against The Crusaders,but they still won.Tend to turn up when you least expect it.
FT
Force 21 - 15 Brumbies
Job done. The market was completely wrong at HT

Always seemed unlikely that these two would produce a slow low-scoring game.
I think the maul rules need looking at with as much urgency as the scrum rules. Currently there is no way of stopping these 'flying wedge' mauls if the referee allows the 'splinter group' to continue claiming it's the same maul.
I think you are right, although there is another maul law that I would place higher on the list to look at. Not rolling away from mauls may have come from sense, i.e. they can be pile-ups, but it makes the choke tackle and negative play in general such an appealing prospect for defences as they all pile in, then pile on top.
No easy job being a law-maker.
