Live on BBC 2 & Skysports 1: Sat 14.15 & 14.30: England should begin their World Cup warm-up with a 12+ point win over Wales (10/11, bet365).
Lewis Moody captaions England in their first World Cup warm-up match and they are just 1/4 (William Hill) to win, Wales 9/2 with Unibet to do likewise.
England are experimenting with a 40 man squad but even so, Martin Johnson’s men should run out as easy winners in this one, bet365 putting 10/11 about an England win by 12 points or more.
Manu Tuilagi is a new addition to the sqaud, he is 12/1 with Paddy Power to be the first try scorer but England have a tendency to ‘get on the board’ so 13/8 (Betfred) about the first scoring play being a penalty to England is worth considering.
Scotland and Ireland play concurrently up at Murrayfield, the Irish a good-looking 6/5 to come away with victory, according to Sportingbet. The Scots can be backed at the same price with Stan James.
Both sides are making changes and handing out debuts and the game looks to be a tight contest. Ireland are 17/20 (Betfred) to get on the scoresheet first while Scotland going into the break with the lead only to lose at full-time is a massive 7/1 (Boylesports).
