The Hurricanes and Chiefs played so far below themselves this weekend. Rotten luck had me take one, or both of them, in every multi. It turned out to be a terrible week despite nailing all but two results. I've taken the Cheetahs, Stormers and Hurricanes to pad my multi. I've taken the...

Damn shame.

I had a pretty good week last week as well. This week I've lumped on a $4.78 five-leg that I think I'd put my metaphorical, 45 years-in-to-the-future first house on. 1. Crusaders H2H v Reds, $1.10 $1.10 for the Crusaders is nice and safe. I get the feeling that the Reds will get within the...

Went for two $20 multis this round. 1) $20 x $4.10 for $82.00 Chiefs to beat Hurricanes @ 2.00 + Crusaders to beat Brumbies @ 2.05 I really rate both of these Kiwi teams, and feel pretty safe backing them both here. 2) $20 x $5.65 for $113.07 Highlanders to beat Sharks @ 1.29 + Cheetahs...

Bumped in to Dallan Murphy at the Hong Kong 10s. Didn't ask whether he was coming back, but I remember spotting someone on the forum say he was. What happens if D Murphy is back, and Stefano Hunt comes back from injury? Do the filth stick with Paddy James (no pun int.) Sent from my iPhone...

Several University lads were away for the Hong Kong 10s with King's College. Ended up taking team of the tournament, and were held to the Bowl semi through rotten draw luck - beaten twice, both teams went to the final. Wakely, Vaessen, Potgieter, Cornelsen, Gibson, Jock Campbell from Premier...

Funnily enough, I'm the opposite - I can't trust the Jaguares form! I feel much safer backing the Force to be stagnant in attack. Might be worth switching the Sevens on though... France are cooking up an incredible upset of New Zealand. Lead 17-0, five minutes in

$50 on Highlanders>Reds + Chiefs>Blues + Crusaders>Force in H2Hs. Paying $1.88, but all seems very safe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've hitched my wagon to the University of Queensland's media unit this year, which unfortunately rules me out of covering the GPS Season. It'll be the first I haven't covered since 2012. I'm hoping that some other aspiring young sports journalist can take up the mantle. Green and Gold has...

A super rugby team trains for 6 hours per day, 6 days a week during their preseason. Schools train for 2 hours a day, three or four times a week at most. Apples + Oranges. I really hope BBC can put it together this year. They've been on the cusp for so long. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wanted to get in early this weekend 1. Brumbies v Chiefs (+5.5) at $1.90 Chiefs are $2.60 underdogs v Brumbies, which is mouthwatering value considering how clinical they were against the Force. Meanwhile, the Brumbies are returning home from a tough tour of Africa and will be pretty run down...

All went to plan for me, just! 1. Barrett scored a solo effort against the run of play in the 80th. 2. The Sharks scored two runaways to be in the game, and were denied a try by Peyper late to save my multi. 3. The Reds held out the Tah's, camped on their own goal-line, to close out the...

I've just discovered why SA games put me to sleep. So little crowd noise, plus commentators who let the game do most of the talking. So little excitement from the faceless voices, unless the home team gets a linebreak / scores. Enjoying this one though!

The addictive personality strikes again. Three leg multi this week: 1. Beauden Barrett to score a try at any time v Kings at $2.37. Beaudie is the king of support play and bloody quick. The Hurricanes will put at least six tries through the Kings, and I reckon Beaudie will be one of them...

I would have needed more than $10 in value to pick Norths! What an upset that was. I'm not seeing much I like this weekend. Might take the week off

This backs up what I remembered. That clip I shared wasn't an egregious example, but it was one that stood out to me and was easily accessible. In that clip, Quade dresses down Simmons for pushing an offload when he wasn't in a position to. I'm a firm believer in Quade, but it seems the...

Multi ruined :( never would have picked that Reds resukt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Round Three Super Rugby 2016: Jumped on the Highlanders to beat the Waratahs earlier this week. Priced at $2.25! Absolute steal. Combined it with Blues (-5.5), which they should cover by halftime, to take the multi to $4.06 Also fancied the Sunwolves to knock over the lacklustre Rebels in...

Jets have you got any names/backgrounds/rep histories of the Sunnybank boys joining Terrace?
