Following England’s nervy win over Argentina, Ladbrokes retain a top price 16/1 about them winning the Rugby World Cup outright.
Punters backed England in every way leaving Ladbrokes fearing a victory on the handicaps. England remain 16/1 for the World Cup and despite the slightly underwhelming victory, money for the 2003 winners continues to roll in making them one of the worst results in the book.
Argentina vs Scotland now looks like a second place decider and Ladbrokes make the Pumas marginal even money outsiders in a head to head qualification bet. Scotland are 8/11 to make it through to the quarter finals.
“The ten and twenty quid punters have got the faith and thanks to their unwavering support England are now a terrible result. They got stuck into England on the handicap and we laid some hefty wagers at the scratch prices as well” Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said.
He added: “In the battle to escape the group Scotland now appear to have the upper hand but after today’s performance Argentina must fancy their chances.”
