Rugby Betting Tips
Here are our two tips for Saturday's clash in Adelaide between the Invitational AU & NZ and the British & Irish Lions.
British & Irish Lions Tips
The British and Irish Lions play their final warm-up match on Saturday, taking on a combined Australia and New Zealand Invitational XV in Adelaide, just one week out from the opening Test.
Andy Farrellโs side remain unbeaten on tour, and a strong showing here would provide the perfect springboard into next weekendโs opening showdown with the Wallabies.
Lions - First Half Handicap -7
Slow starts have been a recurring issue for the Lions, mainly down to unfamiliar combinations.
However, unlike in earlier matches, they will now take the field with more cohesion and preparation than Saturdayโs opposition.
Les Kissโs side features a mix of well-known names, some past their peak, and others currently out of favour on the international stage.
While theyโll bring plenty of passion, enthusiasm, and skill, history shows that scratch teams often struggle to find fluency, and the Lions have a real opportunity to take control by half-time.
Sharper work at the breakdown will be crucial. Andy Farrell has made this a focus, selecting a mobile, dynamic back-row trio of Henry Pollock, Ben Earl, and openside Jac Morgan.
Take the Lions to be quick out of the blocks in Adelaide - they look like a solid bet at Evens with bet365 to cover a seven-point first half handicap.
Huw Jones to score the first try
Midfield is another key battleground on Saturday - and possibly a mismatch.
David Havili and Ngani Laumape are both powerful runners with proven attacking threats, but flaws in their defensive game and discipline have hindered their international prospects.
In contrast, Scotlandโs Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones are in top form and pushing hard to edge out Irelandโs Bundee Aki and Garry Ringrose for starting roles in Brisbane next weekend.
Haviliโs suspect defence and Laumapeโs all-or-nothing physicality could put Tuipulotu under pressure - but also create space for Jones to thrive.
The Scottish centre has already crossed for a joint tour-high three tries, including an eye-catching double against the Waratahs last weekend, underlining his form and ability to punish any lapses.

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.
