The rare occasions I have bet it’s been put on in person, doing it virtually via app wouldn’t have the same experience. Collecting winnings is part of the fun. Off to the races in a few weeks so I suppose I’ll be making my first bet of the decade there

I know, sacrilege! Thanks for analysis Cheg. Interesting. Of course, any of those teams can win on the day. One of the great things about rugby, is funny shape balls bounce in unpredictable ways! G

Fields Oct 2023 12:43pm, 13 Oct 2023 10,078 posts	0 Fields Almost 1300 caps across the 23, a few players who I regard as unselectable based on their performances. Not at all convinced this team is up to much; that said they may make a semi despite that.
