Rugby World Cup Quarter Finals Betting Odds at Bodog - 10-06-11

October 6 - Now that the group stage of the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand is finally done and dusted, it means the tournament's 20 starting teams have been whittled down to just eight who will face off in a series of nail-biting Rugby World Cup quarter final games this weekend.

For 2011 Rugby World Cup betting fans, these games will obviously be key to see which teams will progress to the semi finals and onto the finals, so check out our Rugby World Cup quarter final odds and predictions below:

The first of the four quarter finals kicks off on Saturday, October 8 at 6:00 pm local time, and will see Ireland take on Wales in Wellington. While Bodog has Ireland as the slight 1.77 favorites, in all likelihood this match could go either way on the day as both teams are capable of pulling out a victory if pressed. However, for our money, Irish eyes will be smiling en route to a victory.

England Will Start as 1.57 Betting Favorites at Bodog

The second quarter final match kicks off on Saturday, October 8 at 8:30 pm local time, and will see France take on England in Auckland. With both English and French pride at stake, expect an unrelentingly tough game. As expected England will start as the 1.57 favorites, but with Jonny Wilkinson kicking the way he has been, and the French with nothing to lose, we see a tremendous upset here.

Sunday, October 9 will see the world's top three rugby union teams do battle in the Rugby World Cup quarter finals. The first match scheduled for 6:00 pm is between defending champs South Africa and Australia in Wellington. With completely different playing styles and strategies, this game should be a humdinger. Bodog has the Wallabies as the slight 1.87 favorites, but we see the Boks triumphant.

And the final Rugby World Cup quarter final scheduled for Sunday, October 9 at 8:30 pm in Auckland, will see home favorites New Zealand take on Argentina. Bodog has the All Blacks as the overwhelming 1.01 favorites, and the reality is that no matter how hard Argentina try come Sunday, they will have millions of fans who WILL end up crying for them. Expect a walkover second to none.
