IT'S another big Saturday of Six Nations rugby and England put their record 15-match winning streak on the line in a blockbuster showdown with Wales in Cardiff.
Wales are sweating on the fitness of key men George North and Dan Biggar and have been riled by England boss Eddie Jones's mind games in the build-up.
It's likely to be a war of attrition and the bookies fancy England – who have won four of the last five meetings – to edge it, with Boylesports best price at 6-10.
Wales have won five of the previous seven home clashes with England and are 15-8 at Coral for victory and 4-5 at William Hill with a +4.5 point start in what is often a tight encounter.
North has scored in five successive Six Nations matches and can become the first player in history to make it six in a row – he's 5-2 at Skybet for a try today.
In the day's other game Ireland are huge odds-on at 1-18 to bounce back from defeat to Scotland by winning in Italy. If you fancy a landslide Irish success they're 21-20 at Betfair with a -23 point handicap while an Italy win pays 14-1 at bet365.

Pah! U20 total missed out by 1 point!! Bath score a penalty in the 81st minute!!! Seriously considering taking a break for a week or two. Just can’t get out of this slump. ????
Don’t give up mate..u will get out that slump..good luck today man..
Cheers dude, i’m sure it will if I persevere. Probably throwing in 3/1 odds tips doesn’t help, no matter how close they are to coming in! Simple bets today so fingers crossed.
That’s it man..u clearly know your stuff on the rugby .just keep it simple this weekend like u said and see how it goes ??
See how today and tomorrow goes first:
Six Nations Double
Italy v Ireland highest scoring half second half
Wales team points over 11.5
Although the Irish have been encouraged to make a strong start against Italy after their poor 1st half display against Scotland, I think they will be met by the same grit and determination that Italy showed in the 1st half against Wales. Italy have led at half-time against Ireland in 2/3 of their last home meetings. Once their defence wears down I expect the tries to flood in from Ireland in the 2nd half.
England aren’t at their best at the moment, missing some key forwards and giving away silly penalties and posession. Wales should be able to slot a few penalties and sneak in a try over the 80 mins. Unfortunately this could be the end of England’s winning streak. A lot depends on whether Biggar and North are fit.

2.00 @ bet365
Aviva Prem Double
Gloucester +13.5
Saracens -2.5
1.87 @ bet365
Leicester are in a bit of a mess at the moment after losing their coach they have lost their last 6 from 7. Gloucester are going well and although they don’t have the best record at Leicester I expect them to keep it tight.
Not sure why Saracens have such a low spread. They have captain Brad Barritt back after suspension and Alex Lozowski released from the England squad. Worcester are without their only decent back Ben Teo and have other injuries throughout the team.
GL if you follow
LA Lakers +9.5
Miami Heat ML
97/100 @ Skybet – 2.5 points **WIN**
Heat -2.5
Lakers +4.5
Timberwolves ML
69/20 @ Skybet – 0.5 a point **LOSE**
Not going to lie. That was a sweet win with my thoughts going exactly to plan for the Lakers who did win outright, also going against the line movement. I also said with Parkers absence that Giannis should feast and his 36.5 PR&A were a decent total. He thought so too, making that total with 41 points alone ??
Timberwolves ruining a good night however but profit regardless.
Already know what I’m taking tonight so will check in when prices are there. Well done any winners.
Off the back of the analysis of Worcester v Saracens also plumping for this:
Saracen team points over 21.5
1.90 @ bet365
GL if you follow
Pacers
Warriors
ML Double @ 43/50 @ Skybet – 5 points
-2.5 Double @ 6/5 @ Skybet – 2.5 points
Pacers played last night but obviously so did the Bucks who after losing against the defenceless Lakers, shouldn’t beat the Pacers. OKC have been shut down by the Warriors each game this season, Westbrook mainly. Durant has gone off each game too. Expect the same gameplan from Kerr. Steven Adams will start wearing out soon as he’s playing too many minutes with Kanter out.
@jordan on your double tonight mate..good call on the Greek freak ?..
Spurs/Pistons Over 209 @ 1.98 – ✖
Knicks ML @ 1.85 – ✖
Bad choices last night, apologies if anyone followed.. especially the Knicks pick. Wow, they’ve really hit the lowest of the lows now, couldn’t even beat a shorthanded Nuggets at home.
Jokic has been awesome for the Nuggets, career high 40 points last night..
Will not be trusting the Knicks again, blacklist they go.
I like the card tonight, hopefully bounce back ?
Updated record
Week – 5-6
Season – 84-65

Yea same here, I didn’t watch either of these games, was gunna stay up to watch the Knicks but glad I didn’t lol.
I don’t understand how bad knicks have become.just watched the highlights..melo still doing the biz but theres no support for him..?

@raoul-duke those live chat employees are as useful as a chocolate fire guard.
Haha very true!
3 NBA bets tonight, I’m out with the in laws so no write ups.
Charlotte Hornets -3 @ 1.90 (Bet 365)
Philadelphia 76er’s/Miami Heat – Under 208.5 @ 1.90 (Bet 365)
Milwaukee Bucks/Indiana Pacers – Over 212.5 @ 1.90 (Bet 365)
Good luck all.
Tonight’s NBA:
Dallas over 102.5 team points
Indiana over 103.5 team points
1.02/1 @ SkyBet
Dallas ML
Indiana ML
Cleveland -3
1.32/1 @ SkyBet
Week: 5-1
Season: 10-4
Can anyone explain why SkyBet gives slightly different bets at the same odds? For example they have Dallas -6.5 at 10/11 but -6 in the 3 way option is also 10/11! If Dallas won by 6 would these both be losers or would the -6 on the 3 way option be a push? Cheers
3 way handicap means no void if they win by 6.
Paddy Power do this too.. -6 @ Evens (no void) or -6.5 @ 10/11.
Looking at your example, it doesn’t make sense to offer the same odds for both.
What’s the difference @raoul-duke if the handicap contains a half point? It’s really stumped me for ages. If the -6 (no void) is higher odds, why would you ever go for the -6.5? Am I missing something here? :s I understand the void is useful if the handicap was an even -6 but not -6.5. You need the team to win by 7 regardless.
Yeah exactly, you might as well take the -6 @ Evens.
It’s almost like they’re trying to catch punters out mate, there’s no other reason.
@mervin, no reason, just giving us more options. Obviously the experienced punters will take the round number as we get the void. Good luck tonight mate.
