Rugby Union Betting - Help yourself to three Six Nations bets - free!

5th February 2010

In your Sports Betting Xtra email today:

  • Don't bet on a Six Nations 'Grand Slam' winner...
  • And your last chance to sign-up before the big kick-off...

What a weekend we have coming up. There's a full programme of
domestic football action including the Merseyside derby between
Liverpool and Everton - plus the top of the table clash between
Chelsea and Arsenal.

On Sunday night it's the biggest event in American sporting
calendar, the Super Bowl - New Orleans Saints face the Indianapolis
Colts
in the big game.

And last but not least, Rugby Union's Six Nations Championship
starts tomorrow (Sat 6th Feb). So I'll pass you over to Mr X with
some more of his thoughts on this season's tournament...

Don't bet on a Six Nations 'Grand Slam' winner...

"On Wednesday we backed France to win the Six Nations Championships
- so obviously I'm a fan of the side. But I'm not convinced they can
get through their Six Nations schedule undefeated - which leads me
to think that there is a decent bet for you and me in the Six
Nations Grand Slam market
. (Grand Slam = when a team wins all their
Six Nations matches.)

Here's how the bookies bet on whether a team can pull off the Grand
Slam:

4/1 France
6/1 Ireland
12/1 Wales
12/1 England
80/1 Scotland
1500/1 Italy
8/11 No Grand Slam Winner

I'm afraid that Scotland (even though they are improved since last
year) and Italy (even though they too are on an upward trajectory)
make no appeal as Grand Slam winners. Let's look at the other
contenders:

France

France are our selection to win the Championship - but winning the
Grand Slam might proved just beyond them. The game that worries me
most is their 'away' fixture to Wales on the 26th of February. Last
year the French played Wales at home and only just edged home 21-16.
The Welsh led 13-3 in the first half in that match and had every
chance to notch a record-equalling 9 consecutive 6 Nations wins in a
row. With home advantage this time, Wales will be a mighty foe.
Let's not also forget that Ireland beat France 30-21 in Dublin last
year, and are sure to give a strong account of themselves in Paris
this time.

Ireland

Were Grand Slam winners last season and are capable of battling
anybody out of a game. But they have a couple of hard matches on
their schedule this year, with their potentially toughest game in
week two of the tournament - an away trip to Paris. The Irish follow
that up with another 'away' game against England at Twickenham.
Though England are no one's flavour of the month right now, they are
very sound defensively and are capable of wrestling a win at home.

England

Have been heavily criticised for their uninspired efforts at attack
- and it's true that they seldom get their fans' pulses going - but
that shouldn't blind us to the fact that they are capable of
grinding out results in their own ponderous way. They won't be
meeting any sides with the class of New Zealand here - but were able
to hold the All Blacks to 6-19 when they met in November. On the
other hand - England's own Grand Slam aspirations could hit the
skids with their away game in France.

Wales

The men in red didn't play as well as they could in the November
internationals last year - this is a side that can score tries - but
they never really produced their best scoring form. That's a bit
worrying as they have away games against England and Ireland in this
tournament, and will need to re-kindle their attacking fire to be
sure of victories.

Summary

I can see teams capable of notching 3 or 4 victories - but on the
form we've seen recently I don't see a side that I could back to win
all 5 matches. The Grand Slam bet this year looks to be for ''no
team''
to hit the jackpot 5 wins - and that's our bet, you'll get
around 4/6."
