Six Nations Preview: Player of the Championship Prediction
Antoine Dupont is 5/1 to match Brian O’Driscoll’s record of three player of the Championship awards having previously picked up the award in 2020 and 2022. Incredibly Dupont was the first Frenchman to win the award since it was introduced in 2004 when a panel of experts voted for him. Ireland players dominate the list […]
Six Nations Preview: Top Points Scorer
DAN BIGGAR is the man to put your money on to be the 2023 Six Nations’ top points scorer. At 11/2, Biggar represents good value because, for our money, it looks like he’ll be in a straight shootout with England’s Owen Farrell (7/2). Before injury ruled him out of the 2022 Autumn Nations Series, Biggar […]
Six Nations Preview: Outright Winner
Ireland and France are currently ranked one and two in the world and it is quite foreseeable that they will finish in that order in the 2023 Six Nations.

Autumn Nations Series: Scotland v Australia betting preview
With rain forecast for Edinburgh and a history of low-scoring matches between the teams in recent times, it’s no surprise that the Total Points line has been set at just above 40. For us, there’s too little margin for error to be persuaded to dip into that market. Instead, we’re going to focus on Australia’s […]
Gallagher Premiership rugby betting previews – Round 8
This is the first of three Premiership rounds where Gallagher Premiership teams will be missing their England stars, so it will be intriguing to see which of the teams is most affected.

Betting Preview: Gallagher Premiership Round 5
Bristol Bears v Exeter Chiefs on Friday evening is a tricky contest to kick off this weekend’s action from a betting point of view as there have been some titanic tussles between the teams in recent times with results going either way.

Women’s Rugby World Cup 2021 betting preview
