When Jonny Wilkinson landed his drop goal in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final in Sydney, the William Webb Ellis trophy came to England for the first time. Ever since, the interest in rugby and the popularity in rugby betting has soared.
The betting opportunities for all the Rugby Union competitions are huge. In the UK, you can bet on all Zurich Premiership and Powergen cup games, or you could look further afield to the European Heineken Cup or the Six Nations competition.
You're not limited to Northern hemisphere games either; most bookmakers also offer betting on the Tri nations (New Zealand, Australia and South Africa) and the newly expanded Super 14 competition, where you can find some of the worlds best rugby players such as Richie McCaw and Stephen Larkham.
Betting on these games is not just limited to win, lose or draw; you can choose from the winning margin (eventual point difference), first try scorer, and tournament betting. It's also not too soon to have a flutter on the 2007 Rugby World Cup, so get in early while the odds are generous!
