The Rugby Union World Cup, which will be staged in New Zealand in 2011, will already be on the minds of a number of customers across the world. The big nations will again head the rugby world cup betting markets, so let’s look at what the current odds tell us and what is available for Union fans.

At Mark Read’s internet sports betting site IASbet.com (International All Sports), New Zealand is the current favourite at $2.25, followed by South Africa ($4.50) and Australia ($5.50). England is $12 at IASbet.com which, given they lost the final at the last tournament, may represent good value for punters.
At Ireland’s PaddyPower.com, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia lead the markets. You can get $14 on England for the outright winner, and Ireland is $16. Due to the fact the event is two years away punters, at most betting outlets, can only bet on the tournament winner.
At Australia’s Sportingbet.com.au, New Zealand is currently into a $1.91, with South Africa at $4.50 and Australia at $5. England is out to $17 and you can get $34 on Argentina to win the tournament.
At Bet365.com, England is 11/1 (or $11), with the “big three” again leading the markets. These odds are unlikely to change much, given the time to go until the tournament kicks off. The Current Tri Nations series may be a good pointer for punters towards what is to come. Ireland is at $20 at Bet365.com.
In the countdown to the 2011 World Cup, there are a number of betting options for Rugby Union fans.
