I would generally tend to agree with you about Connacht and normally I would be wary of the 20 pt cap above; one further point to note though. They have a 21 yr old academy prop on the bench who I have never heard of and who has never played a Senior game, and the second reserve prop is a club player from Garryowen who I have never seen to play for Connacht either. Ah You is tighthead and is average and will almost certainly be binned at some point and isnt fit enough to last the 80 anyways . Saracens have Vunipola and Stevens, two Lions tourists, and Shalk Britz former BOK hooker in their front row. Id say they will look to mangle Connacht at scrum time.
Connacht also starting a lad at 12 who hasnt played for them before and who is a FB or wing by trade, 12 is one of defensive lynchpins in any team so this is a serious concern. Parks inside and Henshaw outside him? would be a toush ask for Jean de Villiers let alone this Soialo lad!!
I think this could get very ugly very quickly for Connacht to be honest. Saracens are limited but brutally effective against inferior teams. Not sure if there are card markets but 3+ yellows for Connacht might be attractive; they wont have much of the ball.
This is brilliant. Jonny Evans straight red in injury time for booting some lad up in the air. We bury the freekick in the 94th minute. 2-0. Game over. Bad luck, Juhy.

Also, someone who I believe to be Sledge (the international defender and not the lapsed poster) has been on foot.ie slating the training that the Irish team have been doing this week. If it’s true the Krauts could rip us asunder.[/quote]
Got on this after this post. Cheers, it was good odds.

Bets I’ve done for the wkend are Vikings(-2.5) at home to Carolina, Viking are well rested here coming in off a bi and they got the breaktrough win they needed last time against Pittsburgh and this should spur them on against an inept Carolina side
Washingtion 2/1 @ Dallas, classic letdown spot here for Cowboys(not that they ever need a reason to let you down) coming off the back of a great ‘moral victory’ against Denver, that defeat could still be on their minds and RG3 has begun to show some signs lately and can take full advantage here in whats likely to be a cagey divisional matchup
Indy (-1.5) @ San Diego, Colts who are 4&1 continue to be under-estimated and have been a money making machine so far this season. Phillip Rivers showed his true colours against Oakland the last day and Andrew Luck can swat this lot aside with the minimum of fuss. Full banker bet here.[/quote]

Too late for me but anyone thinking of following on this one, don’t. All bets are off on this one really for the most sickening reasons imaginable. Check nfl thread

Just typical of Connacht Dan, not to worry next time their half fancied pile in against them and you’re sure to get whatever grade you lost tonight back. It’s when their written off you need to be on side
Serious performance. Had no bet on the game despite strong opinion because Connacht have fckd up more accums for me over the years than you wouldn’t believe. For the exact reason you said. They never perform when they are expected to. Have said it several times on here over the years but its an indictment of their players really that they are not professional enough to maintain performance against teams they should beat in the league.
