Southland v Lions (Tuesday)

[rowdy]

May as well start it now I guess! No lines out yet but NZ TAB has Lion 13+ @ $1.20 Early days yet but IMO thats very easy money! Obviously best to wait and see what sort of team Southland name, but come Tuesday they will be the weakest team the Lions will have faced. They are a NZ NPC 1st Div side, and from memory have sat in at least the bottom 3 for the last 3 seasons. Southland is for those who dont know at the Southern tip of NZs South Island. In Rugby terms basically the coldest most miserable conditions to play Rugby in in NZ. Gona place 5 units on Lions to win by 13+ now, as not many bookies come out with this option and I can only see the odds shortening on the NZ TAB. Low odds but as good as a certainty IMO.
