Rugby Internationals

England v New Zealand: First Scoring Play - England Penalty - 3.2 SportingBet Sorry I am not allowed, under the competition rules, to have more than one bet on the match. If I was, at 1/10, I would be very tempred to lay New Zealand. Yes they are undoubtedly favs to win but (should one say "as ever") the media are going overboard on just how bad England are.(They do this in all sports - and go the other way when things are going better.)England DID beat Argentina and New Zealand have been beaten themselves quite a lot recently, by their standards. 1/10 in a two horse (or more importantly in this case two team) race is almost walk-over territory. However I am not "wasting" my selection on that but taking 3.2 about what I think is virtually an even money chance. If the ref is on the ball England should have a number of penalties early as NZ go over the top at the ruck - and anywhere whithin 40/45m should give Mr Wilkinson the chance to increase his bag of points. We shall see!

Re: Rugby Internationals I think the bet of the weekend is Austraila -8.5 points to beat Scotland @ 4/5 at Ladbrokes. There is an obvious difference in class and Scotland have not beaten Aus for 27 years
