Cardiff (4/11) v
London Irish (7/2)
Cardiff seem to be
riding the crest of a wave and they impressed when produced one of the
stand-out results of the opening weekend with a commanding 26-20 win over
Racing Metro in Paris and they look worth backing to win again infront of their
home crowd. If London Irish can get things together then they can keep things
close and it’s worth backing them to win by 1-12 points.
Advice: 1 pt Cardiff to win by 1-12 points (17/10 Paddy Power)
Clermont (1/100) v
Aironi (28)
Clermont looked unlucky to be dragged back by a late Ulster
try late on and they should have an easy game against Aironi, who have never
won on the road in the Heineken Cup. They seem to have a respectable record in
this competition but the contrast between their home and away form is shown by
their two games against Biarritz last season. They won in Italy but got handed
a 31 point beating in the return fixture.
Advice: 2 pts Clermont -12 on half time handicap (5/6 Paddy
Power)
Edinbrugh (4/5) v
Racing Metro (6/4)
With home advantage behind them Edinbrugh will see this as a
top chance to build on their shock opening-round win away to London Irish
although they might have played against a side who weren’t in top form. Those
looking to back a home win should go for the 1-12 option, but the value might lie
the with visitors.
Advice: 1 pt Racing Metro (11/5 Ladbrokes)
Northampton (1/7) v
Scarlets (15/2)
Northampton got
floored by one of the most dramatic comebacks of the recent rounds of the
Heineken Cup when a 40 phase injury time Ronan O’Gara drop goal floored them.
Scarlets were impressive in their own way when winning at Castres but all the
appeal lies with the hosts, with the first half handicap appealing as the bet.
Advice: 1 pt
Northampton -6 on first half handicap (5/6 general)
