There are only two games left in the Guinness Premiership this season, with six sides still in with a chance of making the four play off spots. We’re backing home wins in the three big games involving five of the side

Bath, in second, should have no trouble in overcoming eight-placed Saracens at the Recreation Ground.
Bath to win @ 1/6.

And there’s a big one at The Stoop, where fourth plays fifth as Quins hope to put beat Sale to end their hopes of a play off spot.
Quins to win @ 4/5.

While at Adams Park, Wasps, with a game in hand over their rivals, host Gloucester, currently sitting pretty at the top of the tree. But we fancy Cipriani, Dallaglio, Sackey and co. to bring the top boys down at peg.
Wasps to win @ 4/9.

A tenner on all three home wins at Coral returns a whopping £30.33. Don’t spend it all at once.

What a treat! Some mid-week rugby to feast your wallet upon, and Stan James is offering a tasty triple to be had...

Wasps to beat Sale by more than 8 points @ 10/11
Bath at half-time, Leicester at full-time @ 8/1
Tom Croft to score first try 33/1

A £10 stake with Stan James wins you £820.91

Unfortunately it's the London Marathon so praise the lord that there's some real sport on Saturday with the EDF Energy Cup finals. Amy Winehouse is rumoured to be out and about on Sunday morning but don't expect to see her in trainers and an 118 vest...

Fatal three-way

Ospreys to win with a three point advantage @ 10/11
Leicester to win by 16-20 points @ 16/1
Harry Ellis to score the first try @ 20/1

Fabulous four-way

Perpignan to beat London Irish with a 3 point advantage @ 10/11: Close call but Perpignan have won five and drawn one in their last six.
Munster to beat Gloucester @ 10/11: Munster are specialists when it comes to close encounters while Gloucester are in terrible form.
Ospreys to beat Saracens by more than four points @10/11: With most of the Welsh side present, it should be a formality.
Cardiff to beat Toulouse with a 12 point advantage @10/11: Toulouse will win but with the big tackling Martyn Williams and Tom Shanklin in the side, it won't be easy.
