2007 Rugby Union Betting Preview
17th June 2008, by
Centrebet's latest 2007 Rugby Union betting odds are now available to Centrebet customers from all over the world, at our secure betting site.
Centrebet has been involved in framing markets on a wide range of first class rugby union competitions for many years. We have become a leader within the gaming industry for our skill and knowledge of International Rugby. In 2007, Centrebet will again offer betting on all major competitions. We will be offering betting odds on the 2007 Rugby World Cup, 6 Nations rugby, Super 14s, Tri-Nations, all international matches, English Premiership, Danish Cup, New Zealand Premiership, Celtic Cup final and, of course Bledisloe Cup 2007 odds.
Rugby Union Betting - Competitions
The competitions that feature prominently on the annual rugby calendar include;
| Competition | Description |
|---|---|
| Rugby World Cup |
The quadrennial world event including betting on the location of future tournaments. Review RWC 2003 |
|
Annual international tournament featuring Australia, New Zealand and South Africa that includes the Bledisloe Cup and Mandela Cup showdowns |
|
| Annual international tournament for the best Northern Hemisphere nations | |
| Super 14 |
The expanded Super 12 format for Southern Hemisphere clubs |

| Celtic Cup | Provincial competition from Ireland, Wales and Scotland |
| English Guinness Premiership | England's top division club competition - formerly known as the Zurich Premiership |
| NZ Provincial Championship (NPC) | The provincial breeding ground for future All Blacks |
The 2007 Rugby World Cup is the showpiece event in the rugby calendar. The 2007 edition of the quadrennial world event will showcase a truly international field of twenty teams in what is surely the most eagerly anticipated sporting event of 2007.
Rugby Union Betting - Bet Types
Rugby union betting favourites with Centrebet include head-to-head, winning margin (start), half-time/full time doubles, first scoring play, first try scorer and player will/will not score a try options.
From time to time we will also open exotic markets such as the host of the next World Cup or the year a prominent player will make his last international appearance.
Tournament winner books are opened as early as possible before scheduled play commences, so get in early while the odds are generous!
Centrebet may also offer live rugby union betting, including head-to-head and next try scorer options, on high-interest end-of-season finals and tournament finals.
In addition, rugby punters may like to place a doubles wager on the eventual winners of the Super 14 and either the Australian NRL or Australian AFL football competitions. Premiership doubles punting is an excellent way for the non-professional punter to add excitement, and a potential windfall, to their favourite football seasons. To illustrate the point, take a moment to consider the Centrebet punter who backed the unlikely combination of the Sydney Swans and Wests Tigers, as an AFL/NRL premiership double, for a win of close to AUD$1,000,000 from his AUD$700 stake.
Rugby Union Betting - World Cup Winners
| Year | Winner: | Runner Up: | Host |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2003 | England | Australia | Australia |
| 1999 | Australia | France | Great Britain/France |
| 1995 | South Africa | New Zealand | South Africa |
| 1991 | Australia | England | Great Britain |
| 1987 | New Zealand | France | Australia |
