Tempted on both the Force and Cheetahs to cover initially.

Probably more strongly favour the Chiefs over the Stormers and the HT/FT @ 1.50 is attractive. Also like the Waratahs HTH @ 1.50 or HT/FT @ 2.05 to take out the Brumbies on the basis that I think they are the stronger all round side and are at home. No love lost in these matches so can be confident that both teams will be up for it so I will be going with the stronger squad depth IMO.

Also fancy the Highlanders to push the Hurricanes closer than most may expect even though I have successfully backed against them the last three weeks.

Reds/Bulls and Cats/Sharks are too close to call and feel the book is about right in these games.

Bets for Weekend:

1pt Chiefs HT/FT @ 1.50
1pt Waratahs HT/FT @ 2.05

taken the force to cover a 18.5 pt spread at 2.02.

Sure the blues should win, but I don't think the force are that bad
