This weekend sees the start of the 2008 Six Nations, with bet365 making France the pre-tournament favourites at 6/4, closely followed by England at 13/8. In addition to the usual match betting, handicap bet365 betting and match markets, bet365 will be offering prices on which team will win the Grand Slam, Triple Crown or Wooden Spoon. Your involvement doesn’t have to end when the match starts; you can bet In-Play on every Six Nations match live at bet365.

There’s a very special promotion on the 3-way handicap market for every match throughout the tournament. At bet365, from the Friday before each round of matches, we will be offering even money about both teams and 16/1 for the tie. Be sure to take advantage of the added value!

England entertain a Wales side that boasts thirteen Ospreys players in the starting line-up. The 2007 World Cup finalists will be keen to continue the form that they showed in France last autumn and are EVENS (-13) at bet365 to cover the handicap. Likewise, Wales are EVENS (+13) to either win, draw or lose the match by no more than twelve points.

With Jonny Wilkinson in the side, there is a good chance that the first scoring play at Twickenham will come from an England penalty at 11/8. Recent Rugby League convert Lesley Vainikolo has to settle for a place on the bench in the opener but will be hoping to make a big impact as the tournament progresses. bet365 price him at 14/1 to finish the tournament as top tryscorer and a massive 50/1 to score a try in all five Six Nations matches.
