TOULON v EXETER – Click here to bet
Toulon are currently 2nd on the Top 14 table with 6 victories and 3 losses. Last week they were at home to Pau and had a comfortable 36-13 victory.
Exeter are currently sitting 6th on the Gallagher Premiership table with 5 wins and 3 defeats in 8 starts. They were away to Bath last week going down 41-24.
This may be tight early, but I expect the home side to win going away.
Handicap: Toulon -15.5
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Toulon -15.5 at 9/10
BATH v ULSTER – Click here to bet
Bath are currently 2nd in the Gallagher Premiership with 5 wins and 3 defeats. Last week they were at home to Exeter where they had a comfortable 41-24 victory.
Ulster are 7th in the URC with 4 wins and 3 defeats in their 7 matches. Last week they started favourites at home to Edinburgh but were stunned 27-24 by the Scottish visitors.
Bath are playing some good rugby and I am backing the home team to beat the handicap.
Handicap: Bath -6.5
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Bath -6.5 at 9/10

TOULOUSE v CARDIFF – Click here to bet
Toulouse are currently 6th in the top 14 with 5 victories and 4 defeats in 9 starts. They were away to Stade Francais last week going down 27-12.
Cardiff are sitting 12th in the URC with 2 victories, 4 defeats and a draw in their opening 7 matches. They were at home to Scarlets last week where they started favourites, but went down 23-29 to their Welsh rivals.
Cardiff are rank outsiders here at 20/1 and I can’t see them standing in the home team’s way.
Handicap: Toulouse -26.5
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Toulouse -26.5 at 19/20
MUNSTER v BAYONNE – Click here to bet
Munster are currently 4th in the URC with 4 victories, a draw and 2 defeats. They were at home to the Glasgow Warriors last week winning 40-29 in an entertaining game.
Bayonne are currently 10th in the Top 14 with 4 victories and 5 defeats. They were at home to Montpellier last week and turned in one of their better performances of the season winning 34-19.
Bayonne are the rank outsiders here at 17/1 and it is hard to see them living with this Munster team.
Handicap: Munster -24.5
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Munster -24.5 at 19/20
BULLS v SARACENS – Click here to bet
Bulls are currently sitting 3rd on the URC log with 5 victories and 2 defeats in their 7 matches. Last week they were at home to the Sharks and started 7 point favourites, but made a mockery of the handicap winning 44-10.
Saracens are currently 4th in the Premiership with 5 wins and 3 defeats. They were at home to Northampton last week, but never recovered from trailing 6-0 at the break to lose 12-18. This should be a cracking match and I will certainly be looking at the points markets on the day, but I am happy to back yet another home handicap as I think the Bulls are going to batter Saracens into submission.
Handicap Bulls -5.5
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Bulls -5.5 at 9/10
BRISTOL v LYON – Click here to bet
Bristol are currently 8th in the Premiership with 3 victories and 5 defeats. Last week they were at home to Gloucester where they turned in a strong performance winning 51-26.
Lyon are 12th in the Top 14 with 3 wins and 6 defeats in their opening 9 games. They were away to Castres last week, but were well beaten 29-14.
There has been plenty of money for Bristol, moving the handicap from -3.5 to -9.5, but at those levels I am still on the home team.
Handicap: Bristol -9.5
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Bristol -9.5 at 10/11
