France Backed For Six Nations Crown

Last updated: 13/03/2008 17:08

William Hill can report two £5,000 wagers in their book for France winning the 2006 Six Nations. As a result France are their 5/6 favourites with England offered at 15/8, Wales 7/1, Ireland 11/1; Scotland 50/1 and Italy at 500/1.

 

Dominici heads the Top Try Scorer market at 8/1, with Lions Captain Brian O'Driscoll offered at 20/1. William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said, "Punters obviously think that France are going to be the team to beat but after his stunning performance against Bath Brian O'Driscoll looks the bet of the tournament for me at 20/1 to be top try scorer."

 

William Hill make England 1/7 favourites to win their opening Six Nations game against reigning Grand Slam champions, Wales, who are quoted at 4/1 to win the game with the draw offered at 20/1.

 

In the other opening games, William Hill make Scotland 4/1 to beat France who are 1/7 with the draw 20/1; Ireland 1/33 against Italy, 10/1, and the draw 33/1.

 

France are 5/6 favourites to win the 6 Nations with William Hill who also offer 15/8 England; 7/1 Wales; 11 Ireland; 50 Scotland; 500 Italy.

 

William Hill make France 13/8 for the Grand Slam and also offer 7/2 England; 20 Wales; 25 Ireland; 200 Scotland; 1000 Italy. But William Hill reckon it is a 5/4 chance that no country completes the Grand Slam.
