New Zealand -30 v Italy

The All Blacks should be far too strong

Shute Shield - Round 13
 

Sydney University V Parramatta +37

Sydney University will win but hopefully not a complete landslide

Hi Sands will you explain the 12.5 please.
Yeah me too, I hope the lions will do better, I lost a couple of quid on the first test. Which I made up on the Storm game, I'll be backing the Storm again tomorrow.
Cheers,
Mike.

Hi Mike
I've taken the lions with 12.5 points start

Morning Sands,
Thats what I thought, but how do you get half a point in rugby?
I haven't watched the game yet, I'll do that this afternoon with a couple of quiet cold ones.

All Blacks only won 27-6 :(
Their overall game not really up to standard
5 All Blacks made their Test debuts
Perhaps a factor

Not competitive enough :(

Lions led for 73 minutes
South Africa with a last-second 53-metre penalty sealed a dramatic 28-25 win
Winner – South Africa :( but margin not enough :)

Manly 36 d Penrith 5
So close!

Home ground advantage didn't amount to much this game
Eastern Suburbs 28 d Eastwood 10

Sydney University 65 d Parramatta 12
A complete landslide plus a bit more :(

South Africa v Lions - Game 3
 

South Africa; margin 13 or over v British Lions

Hope I'm wrong (it will cost me money)
British Lions many injuries post game 2

As an Englisman I had to back the British Lions, which I did for the win, and what a win it was!
I just watched the game (with a beer or two) and a good result for us.
I'm also backing England to win back the ashes. I know I'm a masochist, but I always support the English cricketers.
Mike.
hic hic....

Yeah Mike was a fitting result
They deserved to win one
As for England winning the Ashes series
I think you're on the right track

Eastern Suburbs 36 d Northern Suburbs 16
Needed just a tad more start

Eastwood 76 d Penrith 12
Huge win to Eastwood easily covering my bet
