Rugby Union: Lions First Test
Sa Jun 25 – 8.10 BST (SS1)
Well, all the warm up matches have now been completed,
and now the Lions have to face the might of the All Blacks.
They will be confident coming into the game, after beating
Southland by 26-16, but will be disappointed not to have won
by a bigger margin after a Gavin Henson inspired first 20
minutes.
Then Lions did seem to make a few too many errors at the
breakdown in that game however, and needed a last-minute
penalty to settle the outcome. The majority of
bookmakers give the lions an 8.5-9 point start in the match,
and most will be betting in running.
Clive Woodward has certainly gone out on a limb, changing
tactics by including Jonny Wilkinson at no.12 in place of
Gavin Henson. To me, this seems like a foolish move, as
Henson is the man in form at the moment, and the manager has
also included eight of the English players that lifted the
Rugby World Cup. I
For me, this is the wrong move, as alot of those players
are not the players they once were. Lets not forget
England's performance in the Six Nations, and I feel that
the Lions will come unstuck in this game. To omit Henson who
is a great attacking strength, and gives the team a number
of differing options only cements my theory that the All
Blacks will run riot here today. Betting wise, the Lions are
10/11 with a +9 handicap. On recent performances, and team
selection, the handicap looks a little short however.
The Lions are 5/2 for the three-Test series, with the
All Blacks at a miserly 2/7.
Recommendation: New Zealand (-9.0) @ 10/11
