Lions open up as big favourites over Auckland Blues
The British and Irish Lions began their 2017 tour on the right foot following a 13-7 win over the NZ Provincial Barbarians last Saturday but the expectation is that the Auckland Blues will prove to be a sterner test.
That being said, the bookies still heavily favour Warren Gatland’s men to see off the Blues, led by All Black stars Sonny Bill Williams and George Moala.
On the other side, you can find odds as big as 2/1 for the Blues to stun the Lions at Eden Park on Wednesday. Make sure you place your bet with the right provider by visiting http://www.bestbettingsites.uk/rugby/ before tomorrow’s clash.
The Lions cannot afford to take these games lightly as they build towards their three-game test series with New Zealand in a few weeks time and Gatland has a real job on his hands to keep his squad motivated and focussed on the task ahead.
