Ireland v Australia Odds

The Ireland v Australia odds for this Ireland Australia betting test match suggest that Ireland cannot win. Yet, Ireland come into this rugby test match in Melbourne against the Aussies in a good frame of mind and in determined mood to go one better than they did last week against the ‘All Blacks’. Many expected the Irish to get a drubbing last week, but instead they put up a great fight and only lost by ten points in an excellent game. Historically the Irish have always troubled Australia and indeed they won their last encounter of two years ago in Dublin 21-6. Just six of the players named in the Australian line-up this week featured on that occasion, and two of those are in different positions.

Ireland is an experienced team and still has world class players such as Brian O’Driscoll and Paul O’Connell in its ranks. Training is reported to have gone well and temporary coach, Michael Bradley has made two changes for the match; Peter Stringer comes in at Scrum half for Eoin Redden and Rory Best returns as hooker. Sadly for Irish fans they will not see the exciting centre, Luke Fitzgerald as he remains on the injury list.

Saturday's match will be the first game in charge for new Wallabies coach Robbie Deans and therefore it is likely that the Aussies will try out new ideas and play in an unexpected way. Ireland should be wary of them but not fear them; if they continue in the way they played last week then they have every chance of upsetting the odds against the Wallabies.

The odds favour Australia in a massive way, they are around 1/4 while Ireland are 4/1 against. Worth consideration we think!
