European Champions Cup Quarter Final La Rochelle v Saracens Sunday 3pm
Easter Weekend sees the Quarter Finals of the European Champions Cup:
Leinster host Leicester. The winners play Toulouse or the Sharks.
On the other side of the draw Exeter play the Stormers, the winners playing La Rochelle or Saracens.
It is that last tie that interests me from a betting perspective.
La Rochelle are the reigning champions but just crept past a depleted Gloucester at home in the last 16, behind with 2 minutes to go and eventually winning 29-26.
That said they remain a formidable opponent, sitting second in the French Top 14 and having won all four of their pool matches in this competition. Coached by Ronan O’Gara the side containing the likes of French stars Greg Alldritt and Jonathan Danty, a superb finisher in Teddy Thomas all supplemented by difference-making overseas players (the French sides operating with a much more lenient salary cap regime than the English sides) All Black Kerr-Barlow, Springbok Rhule and Australian Will Skelton formerly of Saracens.
This game is going to be a barnstormer. Saracens are top of the Gallagher Premiership again having only lost 3 of 17 games so far and three time winners of the Competition in the recent past. They have a lot of big game experience and the ability to grind games out where required, including last weekend when behind early in the last 16 at home to the Ospreys before eventually winning 35-20.
La Rochelle should be favourites at home but I expect this to be extremely close and with La Rochelle 2/5, we can play Saracens at 5/2
12 points Saracens to win at 5/2 Bet365 and Betfair Sportsbook 12/5 Paddy Power and Bet Victor and 11/5 William Hill.
Stuck
Aaron Rodgers isn’t the only top quarterback angling for a trade this offseason. In last week’s NFL owners meetings in Arizona, Lamar Jackson announced that he had requested a trade from the Baltimore Ravens during March. Jackson said he made the request because the Ravens have “not been interested in meeting my value” as negotiations over a new contract drag on. Jackson said he asked to be traded on March 2, before the Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on him on March 7.
Publicising the trade request was a significant step toward attempting to break the stalemate that Jackson and the Ravens have been stuck in since before last season. Jackson has reportedly been seeking a fully guaranteed contract worth more than the $230m over five years, the same deal that the Browns gave Deshaun Watson. He says the Ravens have offered him $133m over three years.
It’s a weird situation for Jackson and the Ravens. When healthy, Jackson has proved that he can be the most electrifying player in football. But he hasn’t been able to stay healthy of late. Over the past two seasons, he’s missed 10 games. It’s understandable that the Ravens would be hesitant to give him a record-setting contract especially when the deal he’s reportedly using as a benchmark (Watson’s) looks worse by the day. It’s equally understandable though that Jackson, who won an MVP as a 22-year-old, would want a record-setting contract hence the standoff.
Jackson is an outlier among his peers. Every other top quarterback in recent NFL history has gotten a contract extension before their rookie deal expired. Andrew Luck and Cam Newton got theirs after their fourth seasons. Watson, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen got theirs after three. Jackson, though, had his fifth-year option exercised by the Ravens before his fourth season and then actually had to play out his option year last season. Since the advent of the rookie wage scale in 2011, only two quarterbacks (Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston) have had to play on their fifth-year options. Neither of those players is anywhere near as good as Jackson.
The most likely outcome here is that Jackson ends up re-signing with the Ravens probably on a three-year contract, but the trade request has added a layer of uncertainty to Jackson’s future that wasn’t there a month ago. There’s a chance that he’ll end up elsewhere but Jackson has been free to sign an offer sheet with any team since Baltimore placed the non-exclusive tag on him nearly a month ago, and he still hasn’t done so. What reason is there to think that one of the teams that denied interest in Jackson after he was tagged will have a change of heart and want to pursue a trade?
Teams are reluctant, despite Jackson’s talent, for several reasons. Firstly the recent injury history, secondly the difficulty of changing their offensive systems to accommodate him and probably most importantly the severe reluctance to follow the Browns/Watson precedent and fully guarantee the contract. In terms of team building, and with possibly four potential franchise quarterbacks in the upcoming draft and at least two next year, drafting a rookie and having him on a rookie salary for five years looks more appealing than being on the hook for $200m+ now, and the knock on effects of what that means for roster construction.

The 2023 Masters
This year’s event sees three clear favourites: McIlroy, defending champion Scheffler and Rahm are all sub 10/1, 18/1 bar the front three.
A lot of the features as to why the Masters is a good betting heat are well known. It’s the smallest field of the four majors of only 89, invite only where a good proportion of the field such as older former champions and worldwide amateurs are highly unlikely winners. For example 20 former winners are playing, 10 of those are veteran players. Six players are amateurs. 18 are debutants incuding those amateurs (only one debutant winner since 1935!). In addition 18 LIV players are in the field, the point being that one of the major invite categories is USPGA Tour winners over the last year and those winners come from weaker fields than pre-LIV. Overall of the field of 89, we can slice it down to under 50 realistic winners by excluding those above.
We all know that length off the tee is traditionally a significant advantage. Only two of the last 20 Masters have been won by a short hitter (Mike Weir in 2003 and Zach Johnson in 2007). The course is longer again this year with alterations to two holes on the back nine and with the grass always mown against the slope it plays an effective 8,000 yards. In addition to driving stats we also all know about the treacherously quick greens, where positioning, accurate approaches and scrambling ability are all key virtues.
All this means that second shots are very important. Taken from Masters.com, ten of the last 11 Masters winners have ranked 7th or better in Greens In Regulation that season, including Scheffler (Tied 5th in the stat) last year and five of them have ranked first or second in that particular metric. Not only that, but 36% of Masters’ champions overall Strokes Gained came from approach play.
I have found two selections, and of course am writing a week out from the event so you should get better each way terms in the days before the tournament starts.
First Patrick Cantlay who has made the cut in four of his six Masters appearances with a high of T9 in 2019. 4th ranked on the OWGR he is just inside the top ten of the outright betting at 20-1. Cantlay’s Masters results weren’t too encouraging in 2021 and 2022, last year a third round 79 knocked him out of contention, though in the two years before he finished in the top 17. He has been going well in 2023 finishing in the top twenty in six of 8 tournaments with two top five finishes.
As you would expect from a top five ranked golfer he has a good all round game in the top 25 for driving distance, ranked second on strokes gained off the team and 8th strokes gained approaching the green, and in the top 50 for scrambling and putting. On the greens in regulation stat mentioned above, 5th on the tour. Looks a very solid prospect here.
Further down the betting list Corey Conners is at 66-1 after successive Masters finishes of T10, T8 and T6 over the past three years. In terms of his consistency, Conners has been a solid player over the past few months. In his last eight starts on the PGA Tour, Conners has five top-25 finishes.
He tends to struggle in his short game, but at 66-1, he’s got the makings of a speculative contender. Conners is 28th on the Greens in regulation stat.
12 points each way Patrick Cantlay 20-1 6 places 1/5 William Hill, Ladbrokes/Coral/Betfred
6 points each way Corey Conners 66-1 6 places 1/5 William Hill, Ladbrokes/Coral/Betfred
Peak Practice
Fresh off their Six Nations Grand Slam Ireland are headed to the Autumn Rugby World Cup as the World’s number one ranked team. The Six Nations has sown their squad depth and their precise and creative style of play throughout. Can they maintain their form for the next six months, with the squad having been flat-out since their 2-1 series victory in New Zealand last year, followed by Autumn International wins over South Africa and Australia. The concern could be that this excellent side might have peaked too early. Coach Andy Farrell maintains there is much more to come. There will need to be, with Ireland in the toughest of the World Cup Pools alongside South Africa and Scotland with two sides going through to the Quarter finals where France or New Zealand will await the two qualifiers.
Ireland’s only two losses since 2020 are 34-22 in Paris in last year’s Six Nations and one of the summer Tests in New Zealand, and for a side that famously has never won a World Cup Quarter-Final the path beyond that in 2023 could not be tougher.
Current ante-post odds for the World Cup have France and New Zealand 3-1 joint favourites ahead of Ireland at 4-1 and South Africa the holders at 9-2, 9-1 bar the four sides in Pools A and B.

Leicester v Bristol Gallagher Premiership Saturday 12.30pm
Leicester are third in the Premiership league table with nine wins and a draw from their 17 games and have three home games to go in the regular season, looking for a top four finish to head into the play-offs to back up their Grand Final win last year. With their international players back post Six Nations and ahead of the Champions Cup last sixteen next weekend they are one of the squads within the league with enviable depth at all positions.
Leicester have in the last month beaten Bath, Gloucester, Irish and Saracens to climb back into the top four.
Bristol meanwhile sit 7th, with seven wins so far this season and three of those seven wins have come in the last three games putting 50 points on Harlequins and 60 points on Northampton following a nervy 15-13 win at Bath, which at the time was a battle of bottom two in the league. Until this run consistency has been a huge problem all season for a flair side. They still have an outside shot at the top four.
Leicester at home are a tough proposition but with Bristol also in great form this should be a close game. Leicester are 4/11 outright and Bristol 11/5 and +7 on the handicap. With their excellent form and ability to run in tries they have a reasonable shot of the cover here
10 points Bristol +7 at Evens Bet365, 10/11 generally
Regulate
Blocking clubs from joining a breakaway European Super League will be among the powers held by English football's new independent regulator in a plan confirmed by the UK government.
Preventing historic clubs going out of business is one of the aims, as well as giving fans greater input and a new owners' and directors' test.
The main purposes of the proposed new regulator will be:
- Stopping English clubs from joining closed-shop competitions, which are judged to harm the domestic game
- Preventing a repeat of financial failings seen at numerous clubs, notably the collapses of Bury and Macclesfield
- Introducing a more stringent owners' and directors' test to protect clubs and fans
- Giving fans power to stop owners changing a club's name, badge and traditional kit colours
- Ensuring a fair distribution of money filters down the English football pyramid from the Premier League
The Premier League was understood to be wary of a regulatory body when the proposals were announced in April last year.The league says it is "vital" a regulator does not lead to any "unintended consequences" that could affect its global appeal and success.
Six English clubs were among those from across the continent that announced plans to form a European Super League in April 2021.Fans quickly demonstrated their anger a forcing the Premier League clubs to back down and apologise. The regulator will have the power to prevent English clubs from joining new competitions that do not meet a pre-determined criteria, in consultation with the FA and fans.
A new licensing system will require every club from the Premier League to the National League to prove it has a sustainable business model implemented by responsible custodians as part of an application process. If clubs are not granted a license by the regulator, they will not be allowed to compete.
The test to determine the suitability of owners and directors of English clubs has long been under scrutiny. The regulator will introduce an "enhanced" test which will operate alongside the current process implemented by the Premier League, Football League and Football Association.
The suitability of Premier League's owners' and directors' test has been criticised in the past, most recently following the Saudi Arabian-backed takeover of Newcastle.
The regulator will have backstop powers to impose a new financial settlement, which effectively means it can force the Premier League to share more money across the pyramid.

2023 IPL Ante-Post
The sixteenth year of the IPL will feature ten teams, including the Gujarat Titans who won the title in their debut season in 2022
Shivam Dube, who played for Gujarat Titans, was the star performer of the 2022 IPL. He scored the most runs (618) and took 14 wickets with his medium-pace bowling. He hit four half-centuries and one hundred, with a strike rate of 167. He was also awarded the Player of the Tournament. More of him in a bit.
Punjab Kings made history at the IPL 2023 auction by buying Sam Curran for 18.5 crores, making him the priciest player ever in IPL history. Cameron Green was bought by Mumbai for 17.50 crore, and Ben Stokes was bought by CSK for 16.25 crore, becoming CSK’s most expensive player ever
A change is the return of the home-and-away format for this year. This format was utilised in the IPL until 2019 but was suspended in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which compelled the tournament to be conducted in limited venues in UAE and then in 2022 at a single centre in India, Mumbai. This year therefore we’ll see a wider variety of conditions, potential more home advantage in play for some teams too.
Another change for the 2023 IPL is the new Impact Player rule. Under this rule, every team is allowed to name four additional players, in addition to their playing XI, before the match starts. One of these four players can replace any player in the XI before the 14th over of the innings. This rule aims to add more tactics to the game, as teams can use the impact player to attempt to change the course of the match.
Each of the ten teams has star players and potential match winners and as the market tells us this is a very competitive heat.
Ante-post prices, with each way terms of half odds top two available are as follows:
Gujarat Titans 11/2
Delhi Capitals 6/1
Mumbai Indians 6/1
Rajasthan Royals 7/1
Royal Challengers Bangalore 7/1
Lucknow Super Giants 8/1
Punjab Kings 8/1
Kolkota Knight Riders 10/1
Chennai Super Kings 10/1
Sunrisers Hyderabad 12/1
Mumbai, with 5 IPL wins and CSK with 4 titles, really underperformed last year each with only 4 wins each in 14 matches and in the betting this time Mumbai are second favourites whereas Chennai available at up to 10/1….
CSK are habitually one of the top franchises. Shivam Dube has joined this year to add to the core players (Dhoni in probably his last IPL, Jadeja etc) who won 4 titles. There are a couple of concerns, with injury doubts about Stokes for example and mostly inexperienced fast bowling options for the death overs, but the return to home and away fixtures is probably a relative advantage for CSK with slow and low spin friendly pitches at home in Chepauk usually the order of the day.
At up to 10-1 CSK look a value proposition to me
10 points each way (1/2 1,2) Chennai Super Kings to win the 2023 IPL at 10-1 BetVictor and 9-1 generally
The Wrong Track
Defending champion Max Verstappen picked up where he left off to take the opening race of the new season Bahrain Grand Prix, with Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez joining him in a team 1-2.
George Russell and Lewis Hamilton started only sixth and seventh respectively as the Mercedes men finished more than six tenths behind Verstappen in qualifying and Hamilton finished over 50 seconds behind the winner in the race.
A gloomy Hamilton said his team are on the “wrong track”, had fallen further behind his rivals and questioned whether Mercedes’ concept will allow him to compete for a record eighth world championship. Team principal Toto Wolff then conceded that the constructor will have to abandon their controversial zero-sidepod concept in order to challenge again.
“I don’t think that this package is going to be competitive eventually. We gave it our best go over the winter and now we all just need to regroup, sit down with the engineers, be totally non-dogmatic and ask what is the development direction we want to pursue in order to be able to win races.
“The moment comes when the stopwatch comes out and that showed us that we are not good enough. We got it wrong last year. We thought we could fix it by sticking to the concept of car but it didn’t work out. So we just need to switch our focus on to what we believe is the right direction.”
Mercedes claimed just one victory last season with a car Hamilton said he could not wait to consign to the history books.
Yet they decided to evolve their concept rather than start from scratch, despite seeing rivals Red Bull adopt a completely different sidepod design to win 17 of last year’s 22 rounds.
Hamilton is entering the final season of his £40m-a-year deal but earlier this week he said he has no plans to retire, even if Mercedes fail to deliver him a winning machine.
For Mercedes it might help that Red Bull development through this season could be compromised by cost cap punishments including limited wind tunnel time, but the new regulations limit the amount of spend by the top teams anyway in attempts to even up the field, and in this respect during Q1 of Qualifying for the first race the field was split by less than a second.
Much more Mercedes underperformance though, and the speculation about a possible Hamilton move to Ferrari at the end of his contract will intensify.

Italy v Wales 2.15pm Saturday ITV
This should be a cracking Six Nations Weekend. Italy are fast improving, France are not quite the force of last year and Scotland/Ireland should be a thriller and what might have been seen as easy wins for Wales/France/Ireland pre-tournament looks likely to be anything but now.
As explained in more detail below Italy are improving rapidly towards competitiveness playing an exciting brand of rugby that has seen them win nearly half of their Test Matches in 2022 then run France close at home in the first game of this year’s Six Nations, also causing problems to both England and Ireland in the two games since.
In last year’s Six Nations Italy scored five tries, they already have six in the three games so far this year. The absence through injury of Capuozzo is a blow of course, a tremendous finisher from full back.
This match is likely to settle who will finish bottom of the Championship and “win” the Wooden Spoon and Wales come to the game with three losses by 24,28 then 10 points so far.
Amongst the myriad problems facing the side is determining what is the best current team in the run up to the World Cup but also beyond that and the stage of the current four year World cup cycle isn’t helpful as the need to be at least competitive this October in France is acting as a brake on implementing a complete rebuild towards youth that might take place at a different point in the major tournament cycle.
The sides being picked are currently a mix of the old guard and inexperienced players with no discernible playing style. In the first three games of this Championship they have emptied the entire squad and although some combinations have worked better than others, the result is very little attacking threat. The side is cumbersome in attack, struggling at the breakdown and displaying no real forward power. Back in the first Gatland era, attacking wasn't breath-taking but it was effective. In part because there was a good mix of ball carriers and Wales could keep possession for the hefty number of phases they needed to create the space. At the moment, Wales can't keep hold of the ball and they can't smash holes. Ideally they need to play wide to get the ball to their wings. Theoretically that's fine. But if you can't make space when the ball is there then the theory falls flat. The wide players are running at walls of defenders.
After their win in Cardiff last year, Italy have a real opportunity here yet are marginal home underdogs. This seems like a value opportunity to get a reward for their performances in the Championship so far.
15 points Italy to win 11/10 Bet365, BetVictor, Betfred
Renaissance
After half a decade of losing performances at Test level, Italy finally saw the fruits of a long-term process of youth development and shrewd decision-making last year. They won five of their 11 Test matches, giving them a win rate of 45%. That was the highest in a calendar year since 2007, and the highest in a non-Rugby World Cup year since 1998. The famous win in Wales on Super Saturday ended a run of 36 straight Six Nations defeats and was followed up in the autumn by a first-ever Test victory over Australia.
Early 2023 has seen more encouragement. In the first round of the U20 Six Nations Italy lost to France 28-27 with only a missed conversion preventing victory. For the senior side there have been defeats in the first three rounds of the Six Nations to France by 5 points, in England by 17 points and to Ireland by 14 points but they’ve shown thrilling free flowing rugby as the side has moved towards competitiveness at last.
Their attempts to play an expansive, free flowing style can be seen in the stat charts, too: they have the second-most metres made and carries overall (behind Ireland), while being bottom for metres kicked and top for passes made.
The root and branch overhaul of Italian rugby began in 2016 with Conor O’Shea’s appointment as Italy coach which heralded the first major changes to the development system, and his decision to bring in former Irish youth chief Stephen Aboud to oversee it was important.
Aboud is widely credited with being a driving force behind kick-starting the conveyer belt of talent in Ireland, set up an academy system that helped identify players at a young age before guiding and nurturing them towards reaching elite rugby. The results soon came. While the senior side had failed to win a game since 2015 until their triumph in Cardiff, the Italy Under-20s have notched at least one win in each of the last five editions. The Azzurrini have finished fourth twice and fifth twice, all of their wins coming against Scotland and Wales until a historic first-ever victory over England last year when they won 3 of 5 matches.
As the younger players have made their way to the senior squad the Italian game has become less insular. In 2020 two of the 32 players in the Italy squad played for clubs outside of their home country. The 2023 squad has 10 overseas-based players, including the likes of Capuozzo at Toulouse, Garbisi at Montpellier and six Premiership-based players.
Kieran Crowley’s arrival as coach in May 2021 took things to the next step. The World Cup-winning former All Black came after a successful five-year spell in charge of Benetton. Benetton went from perennial underachievers to serious competitors; they were the first Italian club to reach the Pro14 play-offs in 2018/19, and in 2020/21 they made history by becoming the first team from Italy to win an international trophy by clinching the Rainbow Cup.
In the short term the march towards consistent competitiveness is accelerating with the young talent forming a great part of the senior squads. Unfortunately the 2023 World Cup in the Autumn is going to be tough, they find themselves in a pool, with two teams going through, containing New Zealand and France but as their World Ranking continues to rise from its current 13th then the prospects for an easier draw for the 2027 version improve, by which time Italy will be a real force to be reckoned with.
