Champions Cup Round 3 Predictions
| Pundit | planetrugby.com | Will Greenwood | therugbyblog.com | drivingmaul.com |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saints V Leinster | Leinster -8.5 | Leinster | Leinster -15.5 | Leinster -6.5 |
| Munster V Leicester | Munster -2.5 | Munster | Munster -7.5 | Munster -6.5 |
| Racing V Glasgow | Racing -7.5 | N/A | Racing -15.5 | Racing -6.5 |
| Zebre V Toulouse | Toulouse -19.5 | Toulouse | Toulouse -22.5 | Toulouse -14.5 |
| Saracens V Sale | Saracens -13.5 | Saracens -7.5 | Saracens -27.5 | Saracens -14.5 |
| Ulster V Clermont | Clermont -5.5 | Clermont | Clermont -12.5 | Clermont -9.5 |
| Wasps V Connacht | Wasps -5.5 | Wasps | Wasps -15.5 | Wasps -6.5 |
| Toulon V Scarlets | Toulon -17.5 | N/A | Toulon -17.5 | Toulon -9.5 |
| Montpelier V Castres | Montpelier -4.5 | N/A | Montpelier -12.5 | Montpelier -9.5 |
| Exeter V Bordeaux | Bordeaux -5.5 | Exeter | Exeter -12.5 | Exeter -6.5 |
As you can see, the only real debate is in the final fixture of the weekend, can Exeter maintain their new found form at home to Bordeaux, FWIW, I think they probably can.
More importantly, what will the accumulators get you?
If you follow the advice provided by drivingmaul.com you could get yourself a handsome 673/1 accumulator. However, if you took World Cup winner Greenwood’s more measured advice you would still be in for a chance of an all together delightful 147/1. Its all to play for in the ready money round as they say.
