Henry and co are gone regardless after this world cup. Should have got Robbie Deans when they could.

I don't know people think Robbie Deans is a good coach. He's spent 4 years doing nothing with the Wallabies and only addressed their problems 1 month out from the WC due to intense pressure. Too stubborn to be a good coach.

a deal breaking 8 matches for the entire Cup will be shown on TV in the US on NBC and Universal Sports

and US books are charging -115 for sides (5Dimes, Bookmaker)

cant wait

As far as I know NBC are only showing the opener then only the US pool matches followed by 4 of the knockout stage games. For full coverage its $25 per game {TV** and $150 to watch all games online. They bought the rights for the next 4 RWC also.

If their trying to give the sport more exposure here this is the wrong way to do it.

Ok then. Who would you rather have in the drivers seat?

Deans
Gatland
DeVilers {sp?**
Johnson
Henry

I agree he has struggled a little with Aus but is by far the better coach of anyone listed about. Hell, there are probably better club coaches than some mentioned.

Yo Fellas,

I might not be able to get individual lines for these matches... I will try for the bigger final events, but at least I've added the option for you guys to get some action on this...

All you have to do is log in to SBRsportsbook and go to the category in Exotic Betting, RUGBY FUTURES.

I hope you enjoy them!

Be Cool

Yeah I know I told you I wasn't gonna be able... but hell I wanted to get that up because I know it's big, especially for all the Europeans we have on the site... once we get to the big games I'll do my best to post some lines for that...

BetWhisperer · 09-08-11, 06:05 PM

The lines for the first games have been out a few while now but now they seem to have settled. I am loving Argentina +13, Wales +13.5 and I am clueless about New Zealand -60 plus vs. Tonga. I definitely remember seeing the line start at NZ -67 but I think it might still be too high. I mean the bookies obviously expect New Zealand to not concede at all, well 3 points at the most. Thoughts?

RLF · 09-08-11, 08:05 PM

Lines aren't there ?

Legend Dax.

I would be cautious placing bets on these some of these lines now, especially tonights game.

The line has been out too long and moved too far for a lot of the value to have gone IMO.

Sunde91 · 09-09-11, 12:11 AM

NZ -57.5 can be had -110 at 5Dimes

I dont see line better than that at any other book. Most are @ 59. And I think they have -110 for the first game only, others are -115

Opening matach is on Channel 625 on DirectTv 4:30AM ET

mac1134 · 09-09-11, 12:12 AM

NZ -59 get at it

RLF · 09-09-11, 12:12 AM

lol what's gunna drop more, Japan or Tonga? Japan opened at 54.5 now 41.5 - Tonga opened at 70.5 now 56.5

Silly bookies

Sunde91 · 09-09-11, 12:34 AM

went to 56.5 minutes after submitting. Reading RLF's post could have saved me to wait

RLF · 09-09-11, 02:35 AM

-56.5 is pretty good now. A very nice middle for anyone who got on at +70.5

Duff85 · 09-09-11, 02:45 AM

Still a big middle available right now between two of the off-shores... +65.5 (1.9) and -56.5 (1.91).

This is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Which books Duffy?

benrama · 09-09-11, 02:55 AM

Edit: coochy asked the same question

Duff85 · 09-09-11, 03:12 AM

SIA is the Tonga side... and 5Dimes has just followed Pinny down to 1.76 on the NZ side. Still should be able to middle decent with a range of other widely available numbers.

That +66 is a euro handicap... hence why I said 65.5. Nice little arb and middle though. Should be good.

Sunde91 · 09-09-11, 04:49 AM

penalties and Tonga's two 2nd half goal line stands prevented 4+ tries and killed momentum to bury this

41-10 shameful performance

ExodusNZ · 09-10-11, 08:28 AM

Anyone see any value in the 3 matches tomorrow?

Creditsforedits · 10-20-11, 05:49 PM

So it is final time and yes NZ look unstoppable, but I still like my play on France to win this thing! Alright the biggest unknown is what French team will turn up on the day and even if the best the French have arrives they are still gonna need some lucky bounces and some poor play from NZ.. still.. allez les blues!!

And just so people can believe, lets remember the last time NZ lost at Eden Park, to the French, in the last minutes, with what is possibly the greatest try ever scored... by the full back and France have the best full back in the game now in 2011.. so who knows?
