IT'S an early start on Sunday morning for anyone who wants to watch the British & Irish Lions launch their tour.
Warren Gatland's side have a gentle opener against the New Zealand Barbarians and are no bigger than 1-33 to win.
On the handicaps the line is set at 36 so if you think the Lions will win by more than that take 21-20 at betfair.
The action continues from Roland Garros and on Friday I put up a double for Saturday.
World No.1 Andy Murray faces a tough test against Juan del Potro and may even lose. With the Argentine a big underdog I'm on him to win at least one set at about 1-2.
Add another outsider Fabio Fognini to take at least a set off Stan Wawrinka. Fognini is a clay-court expert who has beaten the world's best on this surface during his career. He is inconsistent though but should at least push the Swiss favourite.
After dropping just one game in his thurd-round match Rafael Nadal has been cut to 7-10 favourite with boylesports. Novak Djokovic dropped two sets and is 5-1 second favourite with Wawrinka 11-1 and Murray 14-1.
Feel free to put up rugby, tennis or even darts World Cup tips here as well as your thoughts on any other sport.

Rugby Roundup
NZB 1st half handicap +17.5
1.90 @ bet365
?WINNER?
June: 2-0
Very scrappy performance from the Lions, but a win is a win. Plenty to work on for the next game on Wednesday.
Tomorrow is the Top 14 final and there’s some U20 World Cup matches.
Good shout. I’m no rugger expert but that 36-points handicap looked big.
Thanks Mr F. The bookies just took an average from previous h2h by the looks of it, as some of those have been massive wins for the Lions. NZB were a decent outfit but still expected Lions to pull away in the 2nd half.
U20 World Cup
Argentina +10.5
Ireland ML
1.86 @ bet365
After getting my fingers burnt in the first round, going for what could be a considered a ‘safe bet’ for the opening two games tomorrow.
Also sticking some lose change on Argentina ML at 2.37.

The Baaabaas fell short of their points total but easily covered the 30 point handicap. As expected the Lions were well disjointed & they’ll take a while to find the right combos. Still think they’ll get whipped 3-0 and thats available at 5/6 (bet365). You never know but alot would have to go right for the Lions to snatch a win. If the Super Rugby sides play half decent outfits then there’s bound to be a few ‘upsets’ too. I’ve also taken England to win the U20 World Cup. 11/8. Always strong youth sides & 3 horse race in my opinion (Eng/NZ/SA). Another UFC bet: Double: Belfort by KO/TKO/Subm & Borrachinha/Bamgbose fight not to go the distance 10/11. Rugby 5-fold is still running & need Clermont to do the business tomorrow.
