Rugby World Cup Quarter-Final Teams Announced
As the quarter-final teams get ready for this weekend’s matches, the world is waiting to see who will make the cut. Since there are two matches, each scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, bettors are still waiting on Sunday’s line-ups. Luckily, Australia has already announced their side and we can bank on them having a few tricks up their sleeves.
However, bettors will have a hard time picking for at least two of the fixtures. While Wales and France are wild cards, Japan is having a really surprising win streak. So, how can anyone pick when there are so many unknowns? The good news is that you don’t need to pick an outright winner. In fact, you can bet on many other aspects that are far less risky.
1. England v Australia
England v Australia is the first match on the roster, and many bettors are going all-in. It’s us, we’re many bettors. We want the Wallabies to win and we’re taking both bets (don’t do this). Odds are: England at 1.31, a Draw at 22.00, and Australia at 3.85.
