Biarritz (4/6) v
Saracens (6/4)
Biarritz can ill afford defeat here but having been beaten
by the Ospreys in Swansea on the opening weekend but Saracen are an in form
team who should be able to give them a serious challenge in Saracens, who may
deepen their woes.
Advice: 1 pt Saracens to win by 1-12 points (14/5 Hills)
Treviso (4) v Ospreys
(1/3)
Despite Treviso’s feisty attitude and good home record,
there’s no appeal in them here given that Ospreys came here with a weaker team
and won in September. A handicap of 9 points looks big for them, but they can
get on the scoresheet in no uncertain terms.
Advice: 2 pts Ospreys to score 26 or more points (5/6
general)
Castres (6/5) v
Munster (evs)
One of the matchups of the weekend. It’s impossible for
bookmakers to split the two but Munster only just get the vote to stop the
hosts’s excellent run of form. Castres could easily win but they gave away 14
penalties to Scarlets, and they cannot afford to the same against the Irish
giants, who get a big vote of confidence here despite the toughness of the
task.
Advice: 3 pts Munster to win by 1-12 points (2/1 Hills)
Gloucester (4/6) v
Quins (13/8)
Gloucester came within seven minutes and a possibly forward
try of inflicting a first home defeat on Toulouse for 2 years and will be
fancied confidently by many to go and turn that into a win against Harlequins.
However, the visitors are on a winning streak of 11 which makes their odds far
too big.
Advice: 2 pts Quinz to win by 1-12 points (11/4 Ladbrokes)
Connaught (5) v
Toulouse (2/9)
Toulouse were made to work all the way for their opening win
against Gloucester and they face a tough trip to Connacht, who bring Heineken
Cup rugby to Galway for the first time. Toulouse might be finding their way
into the thick of things this season and could be made to work very hard for
things today.
Advice: 2 pts Toulouse to win by 1-12 points (7/4 Ladbrokes)
Leicester (1/5) v
Ulster (6)
Leicester are
struggling of late and they might well have expected more in their opening win
against Aironi. Ulster will be buzzing following on from their win against
Clermont and are too big at 6’s here despite a horrid away record.
Advice: 3 pts Ulster +12 (10/11 Paddy Power), 1 pt Ulster (6/1
Sportingbet)
