HEC Semi-Final: Northampton Saints vs USA Perpignan

[Groundhog]

Me thinks that yet anothery overhyped Aviva premiership Franchise is going to realise that they just arent good enough to sit at the top european table.

VERY true

i dont see northampton winning they havent had one tough game this year in the heineken going through the easiest pool and beating ulster in the quarter and even if they did i would not back them beating leinster or toulouse europes best two teams

I think Bullitt will tell you that the Blues gave the Saints a push in both games they played.

Poo is not the word. Shambles.

Vbookie Now added to thread.

The odds have come from Paddy Power rather than made up...

 

[Teh Mite]

Gone all in. For laughs.

Gone all in. For laughs.

I was considering that myself...Odds are fairly poor to be honest. Northampton favourites for sure I think it'll be a closer game than 1/2.

I just (for my sins) had a look at the "Babbling Brook" forums.

After reading all the things I did about the French and the Sesnach on there, I'm amazed this fixture is even going ahead. A complete waste of time, apparently.

Worryingly 1 sided odds if you ask me. Gotta back my own horse though!

[Amobokoboko]

Saints will take it alho it will be a close call.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Just put what I got back fom the Leinster match on the Saints. Pepignan have never won in England and I don't think they'll start tomorrow against a team as confident as the Saints.

 

[profitius]

Saints to win by 5pts. It should be a good forward battle.

 

[coonor]

Henry Tuilagi on the bench. That is suprising. For some reason I think Northampton will be comfortable winners. They are at home and have the better team imo.

Saints by 8

There's a problem with the quotes. The Saints should be paying 1.50, as in decimal quotes it includes the stake. I suppose it happenned because the british style quote was just "translated" into decimal.
In another thread the problem was the opposite, a 1.20 quote was "translated" as 6/5, where it should have been 1/5.
The virtul money thing is a great idea, but the admins should work the quotes out. Thanks anyway.
