Rugby Betting Tips
Here are our two tips for Saturday's 3rd-Test clash between Australia and the British & Irish Lions.
British & Irish Lions Tips
Hugo Keenan's late try in Melbourne may have denied us a series decider, but to chalk it off would've been to erase one of the great British & Irish Lions moments.
While the series isn't over yet, Australia looked transformed for the first hour in Melbourne - storming to a 23-5 lead -only to let it slip in a dramatic 29-26 defeat.
There was heartbreak and frustration for the Wallabies, who still showed they're a force to be reckoned with, and after their step up last weekend, the Lions will need to be every bit as sharp again in Sydney if they want to seal a whitewash over the hosts.
Over 5.5 tries
Australia's dramatic improvement between the first and second Tests makes them a real threat, and there's every reason to believe they'll raise their game again in Sydney.
Joe Schmidt will expect a fierce reaction after describing the Melbourne defeat as gut-wrenching, and he'll be urging his players to deliver under pressure, especially with speculation swirling about Australia's future on the Lions' rota.
The Lions remain favourites for Saturday's decider, and another narrow 1โ12 point win has clear appeal.
But Australia are a dangerous underdog - having covered the handicap in both Tests so far, so backing them with a +9 start at odds-against could prove a smart play.
Huw Jones to score a try
Huw Jones had a try ruled out in the first Test and was briefly dropped for the MCG clash before being recalled following Garry Ringrose's withdrawal.
Jones made the most of his opportunity by crashing over from close range and showcasing his all-round ability โ he's retained his place and starts again on Saturday.
And the Scottish centre looks overpriced to grab a try at some stage in Sydney.

Rugby Ante-Post Tournament Previews & Predictions
When the top rugby tournaments arrive, the ante-post markets will appear, offering punters more options to those looking to place a wager.
Our rugby ante-post predictions will dive into those markets, but we donโt just want to tell you the winner - we want to find the best betting value. This means we look at markets such as a team to reach the final of a tournament or to top their pool - all ways in which we try to bring additional value to the biggest events.
Rugby Acca Betting Tips
With rugby matches taking place throughout the year, itโs an ideal sport to place an Acca on. Here we will take a look at the list of games taking place and find the best bets of the day, putting them together in an Acca so you can keep ahead of the action.
Singles are sometimes not worthwhile on rugby due to the odds on specific teams, but like with football, an Acca on rugby is a great way to bypass that and still get a good return if you manage to land a winning bet.
