Return of the Guinness Premiership - Gloucester for the title
I am pleased to report that we are on a bit of a roll here at The Betting Blog. The Olympic Gold Rush helped us beat the spread at Sporting Index, and with England’s ODI emphatic series following in close succession, we are feeling rather smug.
The positive frame of mind is helped significantly by the excitement of the return of rugby’s Guinness Premiership, arguably the finest, most competitive league in world rugby.
Last season, we waved goodbye to some old friends in Richard Hill and Lawrence Dallaglio, but this year we will welcome a number of exciting new faces into the fold.
Nick Evans at Harlequins, Greg Somerville at Gloucester, Chris Latham at Worcester…the list goes on to ensure that this season will be very entertaining.
At the same time, however, it’s a very difficult league to predict. London Wasps, Leicester, Bath, Sale, Gloucester, Harlequins, Saracens and London Irish could all feasibly win the title - I can argue a good case for each of them, so let me know if you disagree!
However, my money is on Dean Ryan’s Gloucester boys. They have been creating a winning squad for a few years now, and their miserable defeats in the knockout stages will galvanise the team at the business end of the season, and they ought to prevail.
Boylesports are offering the best odds at 9/2 to lift the trophy at Twickenham, or you can get 4/1 with Totesport that they’ll top the table at the end of the regular season.
Quins are an attractive 16/1 also with Boylesports to lead at the end of the regular season - with All Black Nick Evans running the show at fly-half, they should be a much improved outfit and this is worth a small bet.
