RUGBY WORLD CUP
 

Anyone keen on any bets this weekend for the world cup
Some of the starts are astronomical
e.g
Nz -41.5 v italy
Aust -55.5 v japan
England -52.5 v usa
Wales -28.5 v canada
S africa -33.5 v samoa
scotland -62.5 v portugal
ireland -61.5 v nambibia

You think there would have to be a few upsets ,i.e. teams not covering the starts....in case they rest players etc in the early matches
South africa is one i'm looking at mainly because i hear the samoans are having lots of injury problems

any thoughts

ps just did an all up calculation on the above seven matches (favs)and it comes to
$1.25 :eek:

NZ, AUS, IRE should definitely cover that start

others not so sure

I was amazed that some 'experts' were suggesting Italy could actually stay pretty close to NZ. It was never going to be anything less than a 50 point margin. And they will beat Romania and Portugal even more easily.

England must have been pretty awful.
