British & Irish Lions Tour - South Africa 2009

[Wumpking]

Match 1 - Royal XV v Lions (30 May 2009 -14:00 BST, 15:00 local time - Royal Bafokeng, Rustenburg) The B&I Lions tour kicks off this Saturday with a match against a Royal Highveld XV team comprising of mainly players from the Griquas team that won the Vodacom Cup (considered to be the 3rd tier of rugby in South Africa behind S14 and the Currie Cup). The B&I Lions have named a strong side / bench and are huge favourites to win this opening game. Current best odds: Royal XV - 21.0 B&I Lions - 1.04 Draw - 101.0 On the handicaps, the B&I Lions can be backed at 1.90 with a -30 points start. I fancy that the game will be relatively close during the first half but then the strength of the Lions (partic the bench) will enable them to pull away during the latter stages of the game. Bet for me therefore is: 5pts on B&I Lions (-30) @ 1.90 with Stan James
