no need for the shame, everything was pointing at am England win. Australia are playing here after
the back of only 1 win in the Rugby Championship so they were not favoured to win but OMG that
was a massive win and by the score looks to have been a massive game. nice one!

Delighted for Argentina although I would have been happy if Italy won too. Italy wont be happy
with that scoreline!

Massive win for France as expected but for Japan not to score is not great.

Romania are a decent side, Rugby is quite popular here and its also great to see Portugal  compete
against USA, that was a close match also.

Timelord, I bet on Ireland too!

[aoluain]

Week 3 of the Autumn Internationals kicking off this evening with

Ireland v Argentina - obviously Ireland are favourites, 1.20 - 4.50. Argentina seem to
have improved this season but I'm not sure they are going to live with Ireland today.
Ireland need to get back to winning after the loss last week. Argentina are capable
if they can do all the right things.

Tomorrow:

Two massive matches

England v South Africa - I expect SA to bully England
France v New Zealand - If France are on form and NZ play like last week against Ireland
France will win.

[Timelord2067]

My money's on Ireland, South Africa, France and Australia over Argentina ($4.80) England ($3.10) New Zealand ($$2.15) and Wales ($2.80) respectively. I learned my lesson last week not backing Australia, this weekend I'm backing them.

In France's Pro D2, I'm going with

Colomiers, Aurillac, Grenoble, Brive (could be Nice) Valence Romans, Biarritz and Dax.

Timelord, I bet on Ireland too!

I'd be gob-smacked if you hadn't 😱

[aoluain]

Well I wouldnt blame you for not betting on Australia v England, very few expected
them to win, all of a sudden they are hot property so I too have them to beat Wales.

I also have South Africa to beat England.

France are favourite @ 1.66 to beat New Zealand but I"m skipping that, it could go
either way. NZ are 2.20 to win!

The only other bet I had on was Ireland to win - OMG that was close 22-19. Another
poor match by Ireland...and Argentina. We had a not too bad first half, they had a better
second half with the potential to win in the last play of the match until they knocked
the ball on with 5m from our try line -stressful watching

[aoluain]

The match of the weekend looks now to have been France v New Zealand, two
big scores but France came out on top 30 - 29. If I had bet on that match it wouldnt
have been comfortable viewing.

Australia are on a roll, another massive win against Wales 20 - 59. Scotland up
next for them. Scotland beat Portugal 59-21.

South Africa didnt have it all their own way but they beat England 20-29 as expected.

[Timelord2067]

Australia beat Wales convincingly and I'm pleased to say that I did well with my parlay thanks to them. Australian media have been gushing over the win with the news only being overshadowed by the fall from grace of a shock-jock former coach of the Wallabies (and former school teacher). Wales are at ($9) against South Africa ($1.04) while even shorter odds see Italy ($17) take on New Zealand ($1.01) - I often wonder when odds get that short, does anyone really put money on given you'd only get $10 back on a thousand dollar wager? 🤔
 
This weekend Australia ($2.10) faces down Scotland ($1.68) - in other internationals, France ($1.20) are more heavily favoured to beat Argentina ($4.20) while England and Japan are going on the field for some exercise and team building.

[aoluain]

Timelord you are great for the Parlay's - nice one but I am definitely not that adventurous, I rarely
do Parlay's anymore.

Australia are going very well indeed, its a massive turnaround from a miserable championship. Given
that their Autumn campaign is all win so far they should be getting the attention back home they
deserve. They should beat Scotland also. I wonder is it the case that Joe Schmidt has been coaching
in Europe for 12 years and with the Irish International team for 7 of them he is quite familiar with
the scene here and that he is able to make a greater impact with his team?

[Timelord2067]

I haven't had a look at Scotland to see how they'll fare, but my money is definitely on Australia for the win!

I wonder when the Wallabies will go up against the Irish team? We should have another small eager when that occurs.

From memory the English and Irish Lions are coming down under at some stage for some friendly competitions.

Ireland v Australia - that is literally the last match of the season - next Saturday.
Yes lets have a wager for next week, I'm feeling confident....

British and Irish Lions are heading your way next year for a series of matches against
your clubs and the Wallabies - https://www.lionsrugby.com/2025-fixtures/

Week 4 of the AI series kicking off tonight with France v Argentina - Argentina
have the quality to win tonight but its a tough one.

I have Ireland, South Africa and Australia to win this weekend but not on a parlay

[Timelord2067]

France ended up winning after all, so the weekend is off to a good start.

In the French 14 I have Toulon, Castres, Lyon, Montpellier, Toulouse, Vannes and Stade Francais kicking off in the next few hours and overnight.


I have $24 in USDT I picked up a while ago. The only problem is it's ETH, so I haven't done anything with it due to the gas fees.

If you prefer to make it on the Tron network I can move it sideways?

Either way, LMK.

Shall I hold the wagers again?

Ah TBH I dont want ETH Timelord ^{if Ireland and I win!}


Australia's winning rampage came to an end, Scotland beat them and from
the highlights I watched Scotland looked fairly impressive.

Wins by my other two teams Ireland and South Africa.

Yes and France beat the Pumas which was probably always on the cards.
Argentina have still a bit of development left to do.

Bit late to the party here, apologies...

Lets go BTC $20 what you think.

No need to hold the wagers, If Ireland win you pay me, If Australia win I pay you,
shure there is only the two of us unfortunately....

I havent made any wagers on any of the club competitions while the
Autumn series is on, the clubs are depleted of their internationals anyway.

[Timelord2067]

https://bitcoindata.science/bitcoin-units-converter?d=AUD looks like it's 0.000207 - I can send USDT - might have to hunt around for some BTC overnight.



(We can make it Euro next time if you prefer)  

France, Argentina, Fiji and Ireland have won their Seven's game in the last few hours too.


Ireland won most of their games overnight - LMK where I can send your winnings.

[aoluain]

OM sent with a addy - Thanks Timelord

TBH after the first half, I really thought Australia were going to take the win.
Their defense was really aggressive and Ireland struggled to break through.

Ireland had too many handling errors and the lineouts were not functioning.
Second half was mostly a repeat of the first until changes were made on our side.

Commentators were saying the last 5 meetings between Ireland and Australia
have gone to less than a handful of points or one score difference.

[aoluain]

Rugby 7's season has started last weekend!

On the womens side Australia have already continued their championship win from
last year by picking up the first Gold in Dubai, Silver for NZ abd Bronze for France,
the too 3 dominant sides from last season.

On the men's side it was more chaotic, one of the top sides from last year - Ireland
only picked up 2 points winning 1 match.

Gold was won by Fiji, Silver by Spain and Bronze by Argentina. The two upsets
were Spain beating NZ to get to the final and Kenya beating South Africa.

Changes this season are Canada and Samoa relegated and replaced by Kenya
abd Uruguay.

R2 Rugby 7's this weekend - Cape Town - Starting tomorrow 7th Dec.

I highly recommend at least trying to watch some matches. The match lasts for
14 minutes, 7 minutes each half. Each team has 7 players and ots played on a
full size Rugby pitch which creates a lot of running and a lot of attacking.

Great game to watch.

Remembering from the last season I will most likely hold off with a bet until the
Finals. I find the group stages can be very unpredictable.

[Timelord2067]

I might have more luck with the European games than the sevens. (And at seven minutes per half it makes it like a poor-man's T-20 game - better to stay at home and watch rather than trudge into town for half an hour of spectator sport)....

Leinster, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Racing Metro 92, Saracens, Munster, Stormers, Northampton, Sharks and Clermont (we won't go into the Bath game)

Your probably right Timelord, its very tricky betting on the 7's.

So far this round Ireland men are having a poor outing again. They have been
unlucky though with the draw facing both South Africa and Argentina.


In the European Rugby Championship today Leinster are a decent price @ 1.27
Cant see any other favorable bets for todays fixtures...
