Due to a few bad in running selections ive been keeping a low profile lately. Due to work commitments ive also been pc restricted and missed the opening game of the RWC tonight between France and Argentina, what a surprise too with the French crumbling in front of the home fans losing 17 - 12 .
The weekend itself is a busy one, with a selection of European qualifying matches to chose from.
For now though il stick with the rugby before making a selection on the football matches.
Hot favourites New Zealand start off their campaign with match against Italy. This WILL be a walkover, no question about it, most bookies aren’t even taking bets on the All Blacks. The real question is, how will Italy attack the game? They know that the tie against Scotland is their “final” and despite naming a strong staring 15, they still wont come close. New Zealand have a history of cruising through the group stages and struggling later on. After the mini shock result tonight, the All Blacks will take nothing for granted and come roaring out of the traps. Its very hard to see Italy scoring too much so it all depends on how many points New Zealand can rack up. Given the competition for places expect New Zealand to get a respectably high score against the Italians and win by 55 or so points
New Zealand – 40.5 points is the call
PICKS
New Zealand –40.5 points (1.98 @ betfair) 4 points
Dan Carter anytime try scorer (2.5 @ ladbrokes) 2 points
More picks to follow tomorrow

The All Blacks rout the Italians 76 - 14 to easily cover the handicap.
Unfortunately of all the tries scored, Dan Carter couldnt get over the line but we're well ahead for the day none the less.
