Rugby Union: All Blacks narrow for series success

VC Bet report solid recent support for the All Blacks to win the forthcoming three match series against the British & Irish Lions. The firm's rugby odds compiler Nick Wilson trimmed Graham Henry's men from 2/5 to 4/11 on the eve of the Lions' 36-14 win against Taranaki. "I was 4/9 about the All Blacks when I opened the book back in April and then went 2/5 after the Lions drew against Argentina," said Wilson. "At 4/11 the All Blacks are shortest I've been so far and I wouldn't want to be laying them for fortunes because playing at home will be a massive advantage to them." VC Bet make Sir Clive Woodward's side 2/1 to win the series with the draw rated a 16/1 chance. The tourists' next match is against the New Zealand Maori on Saturday.
