THE Six Nations takes centre stage today with another couple of eye-catching games.
Scotland attempt to beat Wales for the first time in a decade but have been hit with injuries to key men and are 63-50 at Marathonbet to triumph at Murrayfield.
The Welsh have won the past nine meetings and welcome back George North, who's aiming to score for the sixth successive Six Nations game, with Betfair going best price 17-20 on an away win and North topping the anytime try scorer betting at 2-1 with Skybet.
In the later game Johnny Sexton makes his Ireland comeback with his first appearance in this season's championships to boost hopes of a home success over France.
The Irish have won nine straight home matches in the Six Nations and are 1-3 at the likes of Betfair and Coral to make it 10 while Les Bleus are 7-2 outsiders.
There's loads worth sporting action worth a flutter today so feel free to add your tips and thoughts and Jordan will post his NBA picks below.

About jeffing time!! That’s probably the first winning day I’ve had this month! Hopefully turned the corner, not worth getting the champers and blunts out for but a small win all the same. More winners today!!
Good stuff mate!
Thanks dude. On your double for the later games.
Six Nations
Scotland v Wales
Wales -1
2.00 @ bet365
If Scotland were at full strength I’d be backing them to continue their strong start. Unfortunately, with Laidlaw’s leadership and kicking ability missing as well as number 8 Josh Strauss and 4 others due to head injuries, Scotland are severely weakened.
Wales deserved their lead against England and no doubt will want to make ammends. Add to that the return of George North and the -1 will be neither here nor there.

With the Clydebank-Shettleston match rained off I’ll be watching the rugby.
Totally agree with you – Laidlaw is a massive miss for Scotland and I fear the worst.
Nuggets -4
Thunder -4
EVS @ Skybet – 5 points **WIN**
Nice return since the break
Super Rugby games later (My 4-fold is still running): Double of Cheetahs over 2.5 tries & Bulls +11.5 5/4 (bet365). Stormers/Bulls game should be close & should see tries aplenty in the Cheetahs/Lions game and will be well worth a watch. Having a sneaky punt on over 7.5 total tries too (evens). Struggling to call the 6 Nations games & agree with Baggio that Wales should sneak it. Reckon there’ll be lots of penalties so taking over 5.5 penalties together with an Ireland win at just over evens. Enjoy
Great stuff by the Scots-awesome win! Super Rugby double & tries bet was a loser but 11/10 four-fold won. Scot/Wales penalties came in together with the Irish win for the double winner to finish slightly up.
Well done mate, good shout on the four fold and six nations double. Didn’t see the Scotland game but they must have played exceptionally well.
Women’s Six Nations
England v Italy
Italy +51
1.90 @ bet365
Although England smashed the Welsh 63-0 in their last game, 8 of those players are rested or on the bench. Italy are not that bad giving Ireland and Wales plenty to think about in their first two games. 51 is a massive handicap in anyones book. It might come close but I think with the changes and Italy’s form, England won’t have it all their own way.

Tonight’s NBA:
Wizards over 107.5 team points
Grizzlies over 98.5 team points
11/10 @ SkyBet **LOST**
Week : 2-0
Season : 12-12
A poor night for the Grizzlies brings in a loser. Big thanks to @jordan for keeping me in profit with the hoops on the night!
Kyle Korver (Cavaliers) Over 12.5 Points @ 5/6 @ Skybet – 3 points
Liked his total and three-ball total last night and he smashed them both. Slightly higher today but that’ll be the case while he stays hot with Love out. Gets so many open looks because of LeBron and Kyrie.
Rockets -4
Cavaliers -5.5
4/5 @ 365 – 5 points
Add
Hawks ML
2/1 @ 365 – 1 point
Rockets on rest at home against a Timberwolves side who beat Dallas so hopefully a let down spot. They haven’t won in Houston since 2012 so that’s a good sign. Eric Gordon and Lou Williams are the first and second highest points scorers off the bench in the NBA. Don’t expect the Wolves to hang.
Chicago traded away Gibson and McDermott for a load of junk, the latter player is not as important but Gibson plays hard and will be missed in Chicago. Wade vs LeBron so while that might take the headlines, it won’t take the final result away from Cleveland and they should win this easily with the help of Phoenix who took Chicago to OT last night.
Also think the Hawks line looks a little low. B2b nights with Orlando on rest, but Schroder was suspended by Atlanta for last nights game for turning up late after the All-Star break. -2.5 looks really low for what is a big gap in talent. Expect the Magic to play hard as its a division game but Hawks take the W.
Hi all six nations Wales +5.5 4/11 and France +13.5 4/11 for a double pays 5/6 coral.
Scotland missing some starters including Laidlaw
Ireland strong at home but France. Have improved since last year
Big pack from the French can keep this close
Two belting games enjoy and good luck..
Six Nations
Ireland v France
Winning Margin Ireland 1-12
2.25 @ bet365
Should be a close match if the French continue playing to form. Sexton back in the team should see the difference.

Was a great second half by Scotland – now to concentrate on the footie.
Didn’t see the game Mr F but Scotland had us all doubting. Replacements must have done well, good to see depth in the squad.
Watson was superb and second half Scotland made no mistakes and took their two chances.
Well done baggio on the 1 12 Ireland shout Poor day for me should have given up when Wales failed to cover handicap.went on tilt wish bad Bettie lol
Still off to kings of Leon concert should cheer me up good luck all
Thanks mate, Ireland close to scoring at the end and ruining my day. Unlucky with your bets, didn’t see the Scotland match. Were Wales below par or Scotland flying?
