Australia v New Zealand Bledisloe Cup Odds

The Australia v New Zealand Bledisloe Cup Odds for this Bledisloe Cup betting rugby union match this Saturday has the All Blacks as clear favourites to repeat their tri-nations success against the Wallabies. The match which is to be played in Hong Kong, promises to be every bit as good as their three previous encounters this year. So far the All Blacks have won two of them and the Wallabies one.

New Zealand coach Graham Henry revealed the decision to play Dan Carter at inside centre for the match was one borne out of necessity. Henry was concerned that his players have played little rugby over the past six weeks and he felt it was important to have two play makers on the field. Therefore he has drafted Stephen Donald into the side at number 10. It is a surprise move as most rugby plaudits consider, Carter to be the best number 10 in the world. It is thought that Carter will retain the goal kicking duties

Australian coach, Robbie Deans revealed a less complicated approach is the reason behind his impressive start as Australia's coach. He has concentrated his efforts on the physical side and better use of space and time. He believes in the KISS theory of keeping it simple stupid. Australali came very close to winning the Tri-nations, but they caught a backlash of a performance by the Springboks in their penultimate game where they got soundly beaten. They then lost a bruising encounter with New Zealand by a mere four points and had to be content with second place. This week is their chance for redemption. After this game both teams come over to Europe to play their autumn fixtures against the six nation teams.
