New Zealand are up first for the Red Rose and the home side's spread supporters will be hoping for a second successive international triumph. Australia, South Africa and Samoa have also made the trip north to serve up a cracking few weeks for rugby spread punters to get stuck into.
The news of Andrew Sheridan's return for Saturday's mouth-watering match-up with New Zealand at Twickenham will offer encouragement to England's spread supporters. In contrast, sellers of the Kiwi's match supremacy spread will be disappointed to learn that kicking king Jonny Wilkinson has been ruled out for the entire series - with fly-half duties being handed to Toby Flood. Further concern for New Zealand's supremacy spread sellers is that England hold a particularly poor overall record against the All Blacks. These two nations have met on 33 occasions with England winning just six times and there has been one draw. This weekend's visitors have also won the previous eight Tests against England including the last two at Twickenham.
England's spread supporters must look back to 2003 to see their team's last triumph against the Kiwis a 15-13 victory during the build up to the World Cup. The head-to-head analysis doesn't improve much when England have played the All Blacks at Twickenham losing 15 of their 20 matches and winning just four.
Spread buyers of the England's points spread or total match points will be aware that the side have failed to score a try in their last two home matches against New Zealand. Worse still for those spread enthusiasts debating buying England's points is that they only accumulated 12 from those two matches. Buyers of the All Black's total match points will be pleased to find they amassed 51 points in those two contests an average of 26 points per game.
Ireland's first game is against South Africa and buyers of their supremacy spread will be happy to find that the tourists have not beaten their opponents in Dublin since 2000. The Irish have beaten the Springboks in their past three internationals, which will delight spread buyers of Ireland's supremacy. Total match point buyers might have noted that plenty of rain is forecast in the build up to the game. Spread punters might then be inclined to sell total match tries as Ireland needed five penalties for their 15 points the last time these two met.
The fact that David Sexton has an excellent boot on him may attract spread punters to buy his kicking meters spread, as well as his player performance spread.
