Rugby World Cup: Your Betting Preview

One of the major highlights of the sporting calendar this year is the Rugby World Cup.

This sporting event holds every four years featuring the best rugby playing nations. The World Cup games start on 20^th September and will last for a fortnight during which 48 games are scheduled to be played.

Now is the perfect time to make your predictions and win big.

Here are some of the teams you might want to add to your betting slip:

1. New Zealand

New Zealand enter the 2019 Rugby World Cup as the favourites to win this year.

If they win this tournament, it will be their third consecutive Webb Ellis Cup and their fourth Cup overall.

They have set a very intimidating record during their long reign as champions. In their last sixty matches, they have a record of 52 wins, two draws, and six losses.

However, they have had a series of defeats recently.

They lost to Australia, South Africa, and Ireland. Still, they have on their side great talents like Aaron Smith, Sonny Bill Williams, and Beauden Barrett.

2. South Africa

When we talk about new Zealand’s closest challengers, the name South Africa pops up.

Thanks to the likes of Faf de Klerk, Handre Pollard, Eben Etzebeth and Captain Siya Kolisi, they were able to secure a win and a draw against New Zealand.

This showed that they could match them in the Cup this year.

However, they need to step up their game if they truly want to finish this year’s tournament as World Champions.

3. Wales

Just recently, Wales went up in the World Ranking and replaced New Zealand as the World Rugby’s number one team.

They enter this tournament confident, after a Six Nations Grand Slam victory, where they remained undefeated after competing against the best teams in Europe.

Also, they will be led by one of the best players in the Rugby world, Alun Wyn Jones.

If Wales can maintain their discipline, defensive set up, and physical strength, they might have a shot at becoming champions this year.

4. England

England’s performance in the 2015 Rugby World Cup was not so encouraging.

But they seem to be better entering this year’s tournament especially with a squad that is a mix of experience and youth.

They have a new coach, Eddie Jones who seems bent on improving their poor performance in the last tournament.

Also, they finished second in the Six Nations which shows consistency and discipline on their part.

Still, they must put in a lot more effort than they normally would if they want to win the Cup this year.

These teams will be competing at the Rugby World Cup. This year’s games promise to be intense.

You also can be a part of the excitement by making your predictions and earning some extra cash.
