Well it started wonderfully as the Hurricanes, who we backed at 5/2, went out and scored the first try leaving us a great opportunity to make some money there and then in the opening minutes. Perfect.

Then the Crusaders came back and dominated, but we had our trading profit for those that were up early - and from 5/2 it was a nice one.

Then the Waratahs did the decent thing and kept their unbeaten home record this season in Sydney and just about emasculated a poor Sharks.

Next week we do the final but more of that in midweek and Friday.

The England v New Zealand Test match cricket draw back continued on its merry way down, and by 11.30 on Saturday with NZ looking comfortable at the wicket, we were down at 1.8 and got to 1.53.
