ENGLAND-AUSTRALIA AND IRELAND-NEW ZEALAND RUGBY UNION BETTING TIPS

Fresh off England's rugby union victory last weekend against Pacific Islands, the team has announced some significant recalls which may influence betting on this weekend's match with Australia. With the Wallabies set to name their side later on today, England have announced that former captain Phil Vickery and lock Tom Palmer will both be in the starting line-up for the November 15th clash. Ins and OutsVickery and Palmer take the places of Matt Stevens and Nick Kennedy, who incidentally scored last weekend on his debut. Simon Shaw will also be taking a place on the bench. Many betting pundits seem to be whispering that the England changes were tactical, meaning that the Lions will be taking it to Australia up front, instead of relying on a containment-based strategy. Betting TipsThe second line will be a key factor for England in this match and Tom Palmer will be looking to make a statement as he was left out of the last match. He should be comfortable, playing alongside his Wasps teammate Vickery and team captain Steve Borthwick who played with Palmer during the test matches against the All Blacks in the summer. I am also confident that Australia will come to Twickenham looking to score points, if England can put runs on the board early, and get the performance they need from the second line, then they could very well go on to win the match.
