We are two weeks away from full blown Super Rugby action, but nevertheless, we have some good rugby to watch this weekend, as well as some boxing this morning. Let’s have a look at where we can make some money.
Firstly, we have two rugby stars trying their hand at boxing this morning, first Quade Cooper and then later this morning Sonny Bill Williams. I am of the opinion that only one of the two rugby players will walk away victors. Quade Cooper faces Barry Dunnett, who himself has only fought twice, coming away with one win and one loss. I think Cooper has an easy ride here, and 3/10 on that makes it a good bet.
An even better bet is Francois Botha to beat Sonny Bill Williams, the rugby star being the favourite in this match up. If you have spare cash, put it on the White Buffalo, as a seasoned boxer will in all likelihood take down the pretender. Botha has odds of 11/10 while Williams is shorter at 6/10.
In the Northern Hemisphere we have a range of rugby matches, from an intriguing weekend of Six Nations actions, to English Premiership and French Top 14 matches.
Italy pulled a fast one on most punters last weekend, beating the French, and come up against a Scotland team that took a beating at the hands of England. This is a tight match to call, and it would be marvellous for the game if Italy pulled off a second victory in a row.
The second Saturday match sees the French face up to the Welsh. Both teams come off losses, with the Wales team on 8 consecutive losses since winning the Grand Slam this time last year. The French will want to avenge their opening weekend loss and I fear the Welsh look set to extend that losing streak.
To wrap up the Six Nations weekend, England travel to Ireland, both teams coming off wins and the match being dubbed as a winner takes all in terms of the Six Nations and the Grand Slam. Personally I would fancy England to walk away with the spoils, but it is a match that could go either way.
Scotland – 11/20
Italy – 17/10
France – 3/10
Wales – 3/1
Ireland – 1/1
England – 19/20
The first activity on our newly created Sharksworld Marshalls Account, I will be taking a mixed bet:
Quade Cooper
Francois Botha
France
England
The total bet coming in at 6/1.
Along with the International rugby, there is also a wide variety of English Premiership and Frnech Top 14 matches to punt on. Head on over to Marshalls World of Sport (simply click on the banner at the top of the page) and make yourself some money.

I really hope Fransie puts Money Bill on his backside within the 1st 3 rounds. I’m afraid if it lasts longer than that then it’s bye bye Buffalo.
My gut says SBW is gonna suprize Botha…but I have been wrong before!

Sorry to say but botha is all hype and no go, don’t think he hits hard enough to ko anyone anymore. Way past his prime!!!!!

@JD (Comment 36).: The fight was set for 12 rounds, Sonny Bill couldn’t stand at the end of 10. In the words of Botha “That was Bullshit”
Error: Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2019/08. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
Botha wasn’t fighting to win over the judges, he wouldn’t have been talking the whole time if he was serious, he was going for KO, one more round and he would of had it.

Ah what a load of hog wash…guess the bookies found another way of getting it their way…
wonder who decided, at the start of round 10 only, that it would only go for 10 rounds and not the scheduled 12?!

@Poisy (Comment 44) : Now I don’t know much of anything about boxing, so I would sure like to know how many times a fight was reduced in this manner and why it would/could “according to the rules of boxing” happen?
I’m sure it will be analysed and corrupt officiating will be discarded as always

@FireTheLooser (Comment 45) : I have watched a bit of Boxing, more interested in MMA tho, I think in this case it wasn’t shorted, just the judges had it down at 10 rounds, and everyone else thought it was 12. For the commentators themselves to think it was 12 it must of been serious miscommunication, very unprofessional.

@Seth101 (Comment 46) : But apparently (and I am speaking out of others’ mouths) a title fight has to be 12 rounds.
If that is true, then technically a case could possibly be made that the title should go back on the line and SBW is indeed not the WBA heavy champion.

@FireTheLooser (Comment 47) : I completely agree with you, and Botha and his team were definitely convinced it was 12, so will have to see if a formal complaint is made, but don’t hold your breath for Australians. And I’m not sure what the ruling is if the fight is ended early, Or if they can take back the title from him as the cheating was not on his part (well not all of it, the holding was
)

Pathetic.

@FireTheLooser (Comment 47) : You are correct in saying a title fight is over 12 rounds. Normal fights is only over 10 so I do believe that the fight can’t be official and the title should stay with whom ever had it before the fight, but in saying that boxing is even more corrupt than cycling so anything is possible.
