I don't normally bet on Rugb y as I have no real affinity with it, but yesterday I couldn't refuse to bet on what I saw was a huge rick by the bookmakers who offered the Heineken Cup Champions at 10/11 with a 24 point start to beat New Zealand.
Now granted I didn't really fancy the 9/1 shots to beat the All Blacks, but they were not going to roll over and die at Thomond Park, and seeing as the TriNations winners 'only' beat Ireland by 19 points, I thought that the layers had vastly underestimated Munster. For that reason I played, and flagged this on a forum yesterday - I wasn't sure if I was missing a basic flaw in my reasoning.
At the end of the game Munster were very unlucky not to win the actual game, and went down 18-16 courtesy of a try in the last 5 minutes. I didn't post it as a selection on here as I just wasn't confident I was doing the right thing.
