Any early thoughts Gents?
I can't understand why some books have Wales as favourites next weekend v Australia.
Wales are typically a terrible team fresh - always take a game or two to "warm up", whereas the Aussies are battle hardened and have just beaten the ABs.
They've just thrashed Japan and although they'll face a bit of jetlag this week, I can see them comfortably beating the Welsh.

Well I Think that Wales with seven of the lions playing are good value at about 7/4. I know Oz won last week but before that they hadnt done that well and I an going with Wales to spin it wide and win this. Also fancy the French with 18 points start ,think thats huge. |

Wish I could find those books that have Wales as fav. Aust currently 1.60. Seems a bit lean. Betting blind no idea about Wales. Side looks fine to me.

Why do we have these clashes. Surely they could put the Ireland match on Sunday. Happens every year.

By:
Jesus I hope the next game will offer more entertainment. What a pathetic match Eng Argies.
|

By:
Completely get why AUS are favs, but 1.46 isn't a price I'd take.

Wales had their chances but too many mistakes.
My Welsh friends at the match felt Aus got all the refusing decisions. Interested to know what people watching on TV thought. Finally a heads up for anyone going to any of the upcoming Welsh games it took us 50+ minutes to get thru the Principality stadium "enhanced" security. It was a feckin nightmare Got to our seats about a minute after kick off. |

Referee decisions

|
By:
Well the penalty count was 15-3 in favour of Wales. Judging by the crowd shots everyone looked like drunken lunatics so the lopsided penalty count probably escaped their notice!!!
|
|
By:
Referee was fair,the problem was everytime Wales scored they gave the ball straight back from the kick off and let Oz score at will.
They had enough chances in the second half to have won the game just didnt take them. |

Adam Coleman out a HUGE loss for us. Not to mention Israel Folau. Overall I think the forwards are in for a tough night and there's nothing to look forward to in the bench. Not sure the two big K's in the centres are the right mix. Tried that last year and look what happened. Not convinced England deserve to be 1.43 though. That's All Black odds and I think England is a fair way off All Black play. The thing I dread about watching the match is Owen F. Watching him lining up for a goal kick is unbearable. They should show that to the terrorists in Guantanamo they'll be confessing to killing JFK just to make it stop.

Gone for England myself on the match odds 1.47. Weather and Ozzies missing a few. Think the opposition will bring the best out of England today.
GL with your bets. |

Hey Kamikazee
Think watching that smiler from nz is more painful |
|
By:
That was barely a penalty and a ridiculously long advantage.
|

By:
Entertaining so far.

|
By:
WTF was that?

|
By:
Yes technically that is off side.

Had a small lay of England at 1.44. They don't look like winning to me. Of course they can suddenly step up but right now not confident.
