————————————-
Matt
Test Match AusvNz Margin – Australia 1-12 @ $3.10 – I think the Australians will be too good in this game, but not by much. The young Kiwis will give them a run for their money, and push them right until the end.
&
EPL Liv-ManUtd HlfFul – Draw/Man Utd @ $5.00 – Man Utd are the heavy favourites here, but at Anfield Liverpool are always going to be compeittive. I’m feeling a late winner from Rooney or Nani in this one.
= $15.50
Adrian
College Football – San Jose State v Hawaii – Hawaii @ $1.40 – I’m thinking outside the square a bit this week, in the hope that I can claw my way back up the ladder.
&
RWC SF Margin Double – France 1-12 & NZ 1-12 @ $8.10 – As much as I don’t want this to happen, I can see a repeat of the 1987 RWC final is on the cards. Both these sides can win, but there won’t be much in it.
= $11.34
The Phantom
RWC- All Blacks vs Wallabies- All Blacks by 1-10pts @ $2.63- Now, it really pains me to say this, but I think those damn Kiwis will get up. Don’t get me wrong, I’m hoping against all likelihood that the All Blacks have to wait “4 more years boys”, but thats more out of hope than expectation.
&
RWC- All Blacks vs Wallabies- Adam Ashley-Cooper to score a try @ $5.00- The bustling outside centre is one of the most underrated members of the Wallabies much touted backline, and with the huge focus on Will Genia, Quade Cooper & Pat McCabe’s dodgy shoulder, there may be a touch more space for AAC than usual.
&
A-League- Adelaide United vs Melbourne Victory- Harry Kewell to score @ $2.88- After playing very well in his A-League debut las week in “The Big Blue”, Kewell was terribly unlucky not to score, denied only by a sensational performence from Liam Reddy in goals. And Adelaide keeper Eugene Galekovic will need to at the top of his game to keep Kewell from scoring his maiden A-League goal.
= $37.87
Tomo
RWC – Wales vs. France – Head to Head – Wales @ $1.75 – It was refreshing to see France use their one good game over England and not the All Blacks for once. Do they have another good game left in them? History would suggest no.
&
RWC – New Zealand vs. Australia – (80 mins) Winning Margin Spread – New Zealand by 8-14 @ $4.50 – Australia + Eden Park = Bad.
= $7.88
David
WRC SF Wales-France IncExT 15/10 – Wales @ $1.75 – Putting my money where my mouth is and backing the boys in red to take this one
&
WRC SF N Zealand-Australia IncExT 16/10 – New Zealand @ $1.43 – Same logic as above but the kiwis have a better forward pack.
= $2.50
