LA ROCHELLE v MUNSTER 

Posted 04 April 00h14

There has been some money for Munster with the +8.5 now +7.5. 

Given how many punters are on them I am surprised the line is holding. 

La Rochelle are really battling and they look there for the taking. 

Munster to cause an upset. 

 

BET: 2 units Munster win at 3/1 at WSB 

 

TOULON V SARACENS 

Posted 04 April 00h05 

There has already been big handicap movement in this game and we have not seen the teams yet. The line opened -6.5 Toulon in South Africa and it has jumped to -17.5 on the back of news that Saracens will be rotating their squad to allow them to focus on the Premiership. 

The question is has the line moved far enough and I do not believe so. The initial reaction from bookmakers was justified but I don't think they have taken it far enough and suspet it will move again after team news and this is why I am getting in first. 

 

BET: 5 units Toulon -17.5 at 19/20 at Betxchange 

 

NORTHAMPTON v CLERMONT 

Posted 03 April 23h42

Clermont are in the playoffs battle in the Top 14 and although the side they named is decent I think they are going to put the white flag up against this Northampton team at some point. 

Conditions look good and the home team overs is my Friday night play. 

 

BET: 4 units Northampton over 31.5 points at 19/20 at Pokerbet
