(Paddy Power prices) Not to sure if we will see any shock outright wins this weekend but I can see a few potential banana skins on the H'caps. First one for me is Toulon v Agen @ -18, this is far to big in favour of Toulon. Agen have had to tough it out so far this season, and they new that they were staring relegation in the face from day 1 but their fightback last week against Perpignan to draw the game 23-23, was superb. Toulon have not had the start they wanted, losing twice at home and also suffering too many injuries. They should win but after 5 games the table does not lie! Montpellier have had a hard start to the season, playing most of the strongest teams and have come out well! Castres are a strong team and do not win or lose by much. -6 for Montpellier should be achievable, judging by their home results so far. Stade Francais should beat a tough Brive side, I would expect the Parisians to be too strong and creative for Brive at home. I can see Brive's season being one of struggling against the top sides and coping well against the others. -11 Stade Francais easy :hope The other fixtures, for me are ones to watch, GOOD LUCK everyone!!!

Oh how wrong can I be! Stade Français 27-29 Brive :wall Toulon 41-10 Agen Les Varois finally turn up to the party! With Mr Wilkinson adding 21 points to the score. :wall Montpellier 23-12 Castres Tough defence win it for Montpellier, my new favorite Top 14 team! :notworthy

Yeah some tough breaks at the end of the weekend, ITM cup was a dream play this weekend.I got all 8 games right including handicaps but I couldn’t post because I couldn’t get the odds. Lets try and get a system in place Nigel where you can post all Rugby Union and Rugby League posts as early as the odds become available, say maybe Wednesday, then we review them until we pick out potential banana skins and value picks, that way we know which games to wager big and which games to put small stakes on.:ok

Sounds like a plan too me! I generally favour Paddy Power odds, as they seem to come out pretty early but like most people I'll go with the value. After this weekend I can't wait for the European Cup competitions to start, as I think both the Top 14 & Premiership are looking very strong this season!
