Ant Tips History

The Blues seem to have a permanent limp with open side flankers and again will not have a bonafide break-away for this match. Still, the last minute 1 point loss to Glasgow shows, that despite losing all 3 games to date, the Blues have potential. Connacht have been wobbly at best and after losing to the Dragons by 13 in Wales last start, I give the Blues a chance here. reasonable value for a side that is 20-6-2 against Connacht.

Benetton are looking a better side this season. They finished last year very strong despite results, and have already disposed of a surprise Edinburgh side away last week and they do have a strong showing at home. Trev have a good history against the Welshmen at home having won in March by 8 points they improved their record to 2-5, and 3 of the other 5 matches have finished within 6 points. Ospreys have the same 1-2-0 record as Treviso but have not shown any teeth, they snuck past Zebre 22-13 at home in their first up match and have lost their last 2 to Glasgow and Munster. Great value for the home side who has history and form over their visitors.
