The 2016 Rugby Championship

From Wikepedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Rugby_Championship

Quote:
The 2016 Rugby Championship will be the fifth edition of the expanded annual southern hemisphere Rugby Championship consisting of Argentina, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.

The tournament is known for sponsorship reasons as The Castle Rugby Championship in South Africa, The Investec Rugby Championship in New Zealand, The Castrol Edge Rugby Championship in Australia and The Personal Rugby Championship in Argentina.

The 2016 Championship will return to its full 6-round format, having been reduced in 2015 to 3 rounds due to that year's Rugby World Cup. It will also be the first tournament where Argentina would have had a team compete in the Super Rugby, competing against Australia, New Zealand and South African opposition from February until August.

NZ should beat Argentina.. easily :cool

The local gambling company (TAB) are in effect picking that NZ should win by 25 points.... they are paying $1.37 for bets either side of NZ win by 25 points.

eg
You can bet ON ARGENTINA by picking they will LOSE by 25 or less
You can bet ON NZ by picking them to win by 25 or more

:95

Argentina doing a LOT better in the first half than pundits predicted. They scored early and first with a converted try (7 points)..and kept the score close throughout first half.... NZ scored a 3rd try (converted) just before half time... Argentina followed that with a last minute penalty and missed another penalty right on half time.

HALF TIME
NZ 24 - Argentina 19



FULL TIME
NZ 57 - Argentina 22


NZ win (with 4 try bonus point)

(Those who bet NZ would win by 25+ are in the money) :cool
