Round 5
As last week's fixtures proved more difficult than I intended, and as there are so many players left on one life, I've tried to make this week's choices a little easier insofar as there should be fewer drawn fixtures. There's also a cheeky Brucie option at the end for you to try to gain an extra life. Remember, you have nothing to lose on the Brucie option, so you may as well have a go at it.
Here are your Round 5 picks, followed by the Brucie Bonus
** Handicap bet
Saturday 9th Rugby Union - RBS 6 Nations
13/8 Scotland +5 points v Wales 4/9
** This is a handicap bet. 5 points to be added to Scotland's score in determining the winner.
*** Special rules apply to this selection
Saturday 9th Football - NPower Football League Championship

*** To clarify, there are two options.
