The Rat has dug deep and looked at the Pro D2 Rugby competition in France, this competition is a great breeding ground for Rugby talent and well worth a look. There is also a lot of strong players from fringe European nations like Italy, Georgia & Romania as well as some players from the Pacific Islands and the Americas.
The Rat is dipping his toe in with two 1 unit wagers this week.
BETS
1 Unit
Carcassonne (+14.5) vs Oyonnax @ 1.83 (Bet365)
Carcassonne have kicked off the season with two narrow losses and a win and aren't far away from clicking, meanwhile Oyonnax have had a similar run of form and probably have a marginally better side on paper at home, but we think both sides are more likely to be in a tight one rather than blowing out by 2 or more converted tries
Mont-de-Marsan (-4.5) vs Vannes @ 1.9 (Bet365)
Mont-de Marsan have started the season firing on all cylinders and sit atop the league with 3 from 3 and an average winning margin of over 20 points, Vannes meanwhile sit at the other end of the table yet to register a win! The Rat likes Mont-de-Marsan to get it done at home by a try or a couple of penalty goals!
