Re: Rugby; H-Cup & Challenge Cup semi finals

I had this one closer to 2/5 for Worcester but I think the bookies may have been influenced by the relative league positions

I think worcester are a good bet for this and my reasoning is based on recent form, five straight wins before a battering to wasps(who has'nt got one) and a very narrow loss to probable finalists bath. Mike Ruddock is a very under rated coach, he has a tendancy to be a bit forward orientated(newcastles pack is poor so advantage here) but the backline is showing real promise of late. Newcastle on the other hand have lost their last seven league games with the only ray of light coming against a severely weakened castres side. A change of coach seems to have done nothing to improve them at all.

In the new spirit of all things profit I will definetly be taking worcester at 8/13, as DOD has highlighted recently the handicap could slip lower and I'll discuss the game again when full teams and the weather are now.

I posted this early to get as much feedback as possible.

Cheers
