Re: International Rugby 26-27 November It seems to me that the bookies have completely over-reacted to England's victory over South Africa, with Paddy Power inexplicably going 1/3 on a home win. I'm tempted by the 3.25 for an Australian victory, but Paddy Power's Aus +8 handicap interests me more. You have to go back to 1988 for the last time England would have beaten this handicap in a home match against Australia, and when you consider that England had only beaten Italy, Scotland, Wales and Canada since the World Cup before last weekend, there is no reason to believe that they can beat it on this occasion. Australia +8 to beat England @ 1.91 (Paddy Power)
