Betting on European Rugby
European rugby matches always have a special aura among rugby players and bettors. It is no longer about regional rivalry. Instead, it is about winning hard-fought matches played between the best teams in rugby union.
Facing formidable teams such as the Irish provincial teams is a different challenge from the daily grind of the league. The styles of play, the atmosphere and the referees are different. You also need a strong squad to juggle the various competitions and still be competitive.
In a busy rugby calendar, the Champions Cup has changed several times to find its place. The European competition now includes teams from the United Rugby Championship, including South African franchises. The Champions Cup is split in two with a break of several months to make room for international events such as international test matches and betting on the Six Nations Rugby Tournament.

The European Rugby Cup starts with a phase comprising two large pools between December and January. After each team has played several; matches, the eight best clubs of each pool qualify for the final phase between April and May, where each match becomes a playoff.

Recommended bets on the European Rugby Cup
Teams that score four or more tries are awarded an offensive bonus point, and in the case of a defeat by 7 points or less, a defensive bonus point is also awarded. A recommended Champions Cup bet is to place handicap bets during the group stage.
In the knockout phase we also recommend betting on the winner of the match. After regulation time, extra time and penalty kicks, the winning team will inevitably qualify for the next round.
