The force are always going to blow out a bit at the start of the season with their travel schedule.
Hence get on it before sanity prevails. Note they're paying way less than Rebels to win the comp: given you've pretty much gotta win your conf to have a realistic shot at winning the GF, that's madness right there.
Another value bet right now is the Clan to take out NZ conf, paying 15:1 which ain't bad considering they've fewer AB than the other NZ sides & will therefore be less disrupted by mini-sabbaticals, player welfare protocol-mandated rest periods, pre-RWC camps etc. I'm not saying they're gonna win the conf much less the comp but at 15:1 they're worth a lazy $20 IMO.
Odds for the SA Conf look about right, nothing much between Bulls, Sharks & Stormers, Cheetahs & Lions well back.
Lastly I see the Paddy Powers RWC odds on the same site quote your Wobs at 1/5. I'm guessing they either got it backwards or there's a number missing in front of the /.
