A few Lions bets of interest to me
Lions[-25] v Western Force looks an easily beatable handicap given the Aussies have named a second string outfit. Apparently they are prioritising a Super 15 dead rubber ahead of playing the Lions. Whatever floats their boat but given their first XV are nothing special I can't see their seconds troubling a strong looking touring side. Even though this Lions side are playing together for the first time there's enough talent to pull away in the second half[-14] similar to the Barbarians game. I'll be on both the match and second half handicaps
It looks like curtains for the unfortunate Rob Kearney who has a grade 1 hamstring tear. This will cement Stuart Hogg's place in the pecking order behind Leigh Halfpenny and assure him of plenty of gametime ahead of the first test. In spite of this development we can still back Hogg at a massive 12/1 with Boyles to start the first test. While 1/2 p is unquestionably the favourite and likely to start, Hogg is a very special talent and could yet be the star of the show . Definitely worth a punt at those odds imo
