I see several on the forum are on the Canes tonight and I can half understand it in that they can be a very exciting side and of course they are back home.
The Canes however are a punters nightmare - they're like the girl with the curl on her forehead On the other hand Brumbies play consistent footie and are always thereabouts at the sharp end of the season. If Canes turn in one of their brilliant efforts they'll win (and they'll beat anyone) but you'll go broke backing them to do that each week. Otherwise I expect Brumbies to get the job done and if the bad Canes turn up they'll get belted. I think the odds of winning the comp (Brumbies $17, Hurricanes $41) is a fair reflection of the merits of these 2 sides. Day in, day out the Brumbies are the better team.
I'll be backing the Brumbies H2H (currently $2.25) and a little on Brumbies Over 7.5 (currently $4)
I'll wait to see what happens in this one but my main other fancy is Rebels -3.5 @ evens. Force aren't much chop and Rebels, cock-a-hoop coming off a win (yes the Cheetahs were woeful) will probably cover.
The Crusaders are 3 points shorter than I expected at -11.5 which leans me towards Stormers but probably not enough to throw my money down. Maybe something small the Stormers H2H @ $4.85 for an interest.
Good luck to all.

BOL this week bud. Think the Rebels should be far to good for the force. However if you look at the brumbies game last week they we less than impressive. Come on they won the game inside the first 24 mins and then did nothing for the rest of the game. Wont get away with that against the Canes tonight.
Stormers should cover that number. Saders have shown little ability to open the season and i think they must have internal issues or something to be going as poorly as they have started the season with the rooster they have.

The missed conversion at the death was the cherry on the top, enabling the 7.5 cover. That's now history but it's nice to be playing with their money. With that result I'm now having something on Stormers +11.5 (no real confidence but I thought the line should be around 8.5) @ $1.90 and a reasonable play on Rebels -3.5 at yours for theirs.
Oh, and don't forget France -7.5
