London Irish v Munster Odds: Exiles Can Exploit Home Advantage and Win

Table toppers, London Irish and Munster meet this weekend at Madejski Stadium, in a first round Pool Three match in the Heineken Cup. The Bookmakers by and large make the ‘Exiles’ narrow favourites to exploit home advantage and win, with Paddy Power quoting London Irish at 8/13 odds on to win, with Munster at 5/4.

The two teams who both currently top their domestic leagues come to the game in great form, although Munster will be a little less confident after losing last week to deadly rivals Leinster in the Magners League; they will also be unhappy about the loss of influential centre, Lifeimi Mafi to a seven week ban. Fortunately for Munster coach, Tony McGahan, he has the extremely dangerous, Irish international, Keith Earles back to full fitness who will come in as replacement.

McGahan is also likely to recall British Lion, David Wallace back to the fold after he sat on the replacements bench last week, he along with Tony Buckley and Matthew Horan can all expect to start, which should suggest to London Irish that the two time Heineken Cup winners will be very much intent on returning to Ireland with maximum points.

Doug Howlett the brilliant All Black winger who has been in great form this season, is a good looking bet to score the first try in this match, the veteran winger has a good record in this competition and with odds of 11/1 with paddy Power he looks exceptional value. The same in fact could be said for Earles, despite the fact that this is his first appearance of the season. We like the look of the 11/4 about him to be an anytime try scorer in the match.

London Irish, despite table topping the Aviva Premiership are amazingly the outsiders of the four teams in Pool Three. Obviously this is a strong Pool, some calling it the ‘Pool of Death’ but we think the 6/1 to win it is a good bet, but the 4/1 to qualify is even better value and is one that we would tip and definitely take on. These odds are available via Paddy Power Bookmakers.

As far as the match is concerned, we take the home side to win by a very narrow margin. Scoring tries against Munster is never easy, but London Irish are full of attacking flair, with Tagicakibau and Ojo on the wings, and Ryan Lamb, controlling play from outside half then we think they will just about have enough to get over for a couple and as such we would back an ‘Irish’ win by 1-5 points, which can be taken up with odds of 9/2 from PaddyPower.
