England are now 1/16 for the 6 Nations (Ladbrokes) following their win over France at Twickenham and also 8/11 for the Grand Slam as the result today sees France move out to 7/1 for the tournament with Ireland 33/1 chances in advance of their match with Scotland (3/1 for the wooden spoon).
The firm are also breathing a huge sigh of relief after Chris Ashton’s try (duly celebrated with the ‘swallow -dive’) was disallowed, saving the bookies on two fronts as not only had he been well backed to score in the game but a try with the textbook celebration would have been a 5 figure loser after the celebration special had been particularly well backed in the run up to the game.
Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: “The 6 Nations now looks like England’s to lose as they go longer odds-on for the championship. We’re just thankful that Ashton’s try was disallowed as the swallow-dive was backed off the boards.”
