Some upcoming matches you can bet on right now are between the Queensland Reds vs. Southern Kings, and the Melbourne Rebels vs. The Brumbies.

At the moment, the Reds odds to win are set at 1/9, while the Kings odds sit at 19/4.
The Melbourne Rebels have an even worse record than the Reds at 0-0-5. They’ll be taking on the 2nd ranked team in the Australasian Group, and as a result, they’re the considerable underdogs with odds of 27/10. The Brumbies have been massively successful this year, and are a great rugby betting option with odds of 20/73.
Bet on the World Rugby Sevens Series

At the moment, Argentina is the favorite with odds of 5/12. Kenya is the slight rugby betting underdog with odds of 43/20.
Another great Sevens Series bet you can make is one the winner of the game between England and France. England is coming off a victory in the Six Nations, and is the massive betting favorite with odds of 2/15. France is understandably the betting underdog here at 5/1.
