England v South Africa - Free £200 Bet!
This weekend's key match sees the Tri-Nations Champions visit the World Champions at HQ. Anyone considering having a punt on this one should check out Sporting Index's spread betting prices. They are running a large number of markets on this game plus a range of generous free bets for new clients. We got the lowdown from their Senior Rugby Market Maker: "South Africa's 'Grand Slam' aspirations were halted in Dublin, so expect a much improved performance. Despite England's thrashing of Canada last weekend it's a good time to play the hosts; only 4 of Saturday's starting line up were involved in the World Cup and the team hasn't recaptured its 2003 form. I'm expecting a very close game which will probably come down to penalty kicks. Against Canada Charlie Hodgson converted 1 out of his first 6 attempts; he'll have to be a lot more prolific to match 'Boks Percy Montgomery. I anticipate some shrewd punters will be 'betting high' on the kicking distance markets for both teams."The men to watch will be England skipper Jason Robinson who needs to ensure his Rugby does the talking after refusing to speak to the Press this week, and Schalk Burger. The 'Boks flanker was sent to the sin bin in his last two internationals and is getting a reputation as a bad boy. Last time South Africa visited Twickenham they suffered a record 53-3 defeat. That won't happen this time and if I was having a punt I would back the 'Boks to edge this one at the right price."Latest PricesLatest spread betting prices from Sporting Index:Supremacy: England to beat South Africa by 2 to 5 points Total points (by both teams): 42 to 45ie for the Supremacy market, you have a simple choice to make:a) Will England win by MORE than 5 points?b) Will England win by LESS than 2 points, or tie, or South Africa will win?Spread betting is as simple as that.England v South Africa: Head to HeadEngland have won all of their last 5 meetings with South Africa.
