RUGBY UNION

IS this the year that the Bledisloe Cup finally returns to Australia? The market with Ladbrokes says no, bro. Australia are $4 to win the opening game of the Rugby Championship at ANZ Stadium tomorrow night, while the allconquering All Blacks are $1.25 to continue their dominance over the Wallabies.

The line is only 11.5 points and does not look as though it will be anywhere near enough for betting on the Wallabies. The All Blacks have won seven of their past eight games against the Wallabies and six of those wins were by more than 11 points.

The other game in the opening round of the Rugby Championship is set to be just as much of a mismatch. South Africa are $1.10, while as much as $6.50 is available for Argentina to record their first win in South Africa since 2015.
