vBookie Event: Ireland v England (Rugby Union)

Surely a home game for Ireland can't make them the favs? I'd expect it to be fairly close odds with England just a head, and with England clear favourites if it were at Twickenham.

Hmm didn't know that, have the teams been posted yet? Could explain Ireland being the clear faves. Although I didn't think Ireland had a full team either.

yeah martin johnson has been worried about all the injuries hes got right now trying to rush back for the rwc, i think wales and scotland and ireland have great chances to be semi finalists this year and england will at least make the quarters. itll be a good european world cup imo, but inevitably a NZ-AUS final, and i think SA will have a bad WC and probably get knocked out in the quarters and may lose to wales in the pool stages
