How To Bet On Rugby? – Betting Guide

In rugby betting, major rugby unions like the Rugby Championship, the Six Nations, and the World Cup are the most predominant events. These events promise some of the most thrilling moments in the game, also attracting the attention of millions of punters aiming to make some cash in the process. There’s also the rugby league, which delivers a unique cinematic thrill, with sportsbooks like Betway allowing bettors to bet on them.

This rugby betting guide will convert you from a rookie to pro in no time, but you’ll need to remain focused on several things. 

How To Bet On Rugby

Compared to other sports like football, rugby betting is a bit different and can be hard to understand if you’re not focused. Fortunately, beginners can enjoy the usual straightforward tournament outrights, which involves predicting a home or away win or perhaps a draw. For instance, you can wager on a team to join relegation or win the premiership.

Handicap (or Spread) betting is also a critical part of rugby betting. In this type of bet, one team is given a hypothetical advantage over the other, putting the opponent at a disadvantage. This bet has very long lines, making it ideal to bet when one team is a heavy favorite. Even better, you can place over/ under bets in Rugby, just like in football.

Live Rugby Betting

With online bookmakers such as Betway, there are great live international rugby betting events you can enjoy. Punters highly focus on markets such as total points, outright winner, or scorer markets. However, there isn’t much value in match outrights in Rugby as compared to football. However, you can wager on the team scoring the next point (try or penalty), which is also becoming a famous live rugby market.

Rugby Betting Strategies

Learning about all the rugby betting markets available in your bookie is an essential first step, but you can’t start making a profit unless you’ve got some strategies in place. You’ll need to start attacking the matches in an organized manner to become a successful rugby bettor. Here are several things you can do ensure you’re in a position to make smart bets:

  • Learn everything you can about the team you are betting on, including styles of play, stats, and recent form.
  • Keep note of the weather as bad weather can have a dramatic influence on any rugby match.
  • Stay updated with team news to note if any key player will be excluded in a match. That can have detrimental effects on a team’s performance, notably if one of the playmakers is missing.
  • Know your market. That’s why it’s important to avoid betting on all the markets randomly as it can be hard to learn everything you can about them. For instance, the first try in a match is often claimed by wingers.
  • Learn when the form is crucial. For instance, the form is essential in premiership tournaments where teams play every week, though it may not count in international matches.

All-Ireland Final: Kerry and Dublin ends in entertaining 1-16 to 1-16 draw

Kerry 1-16 Dublin 1-16 

Dublin’s drive for five remains in motion after a pulsating 1-16 to 1-16 draw with Kerry in the All-Ireland Final. Dublin will probably be very happy to get another chance of creating history after they played over 45 minutes with just 14 men.

Jim Gavin’s side won the toss and elected to shoot into Hill 16. It wasn’t long before the ball was thrown in and they registered their first score with Paul Mannion splitting the posts. Sean O’Shea then levelled up matters, but Ballymun Kickhams man Dean Rock restored the Dublin lead from a free after Con O’Callaghan was fouled. Kerry then could have and probably should have had a goal at the other end when Paul Geaney was denied by a goal-line clearance from James McCarthy. David Clifford finally got on the scoreboard after two missed previously efforts, he then won a penalty which Johnny Cooper committed. Paul Geaney took the penalty but it was well saved by Cluxton. However, it must be said the Parnell’s man was a good 2 or 3 feet of his line. The penalty probably should have been retaken.

Sean O’Shea kicked the resulting 45 from the penalty which he knocked over effortlessly. A Stephen O’Brien effort then flew over the bar when it looked like it could have been a goal. Paul Mannion and Sean O’Shea then traded scores as Kerry led at the end of the first quarter. Dublin took the lead by the 19th minute though with an excellent team goal which started at the back with Cluxton. The Dublin supremo found Brian Howard with an accurate kick out, before the ball was played to Niall Scully and Ciaran Kilkenny. The ball ended up with the magnificent McCaffrey who gave Shane Ryan simply no chance in the Kerry goal. Dean Rock kicked a 45 and a free as Dublin looked to be moving up the gears and O’Callaghan could have had a Dublin second goal but his effort was well saved by Ryan.

Sean O’Shea knocked over his fourth point after Stephen O’Brien was fouled by John Small. Dean Rock and Sean O’Shea traded scores then before O’Callaghan got his only score of the game with a fine effort. Rock stretched the Dublin lead out to five and they looked to be easing to another title. However, things took a turn. Johnny Cooper was dismissed on a second yellow card after jostling Clifford to the ground. O’Shea kicked the free. It was 1-09 to 0-08 to Dublin at the break.

Jim Gavin speaking after the game:

On the resumption, Sean O’Shea kicked two 45’s to edge Peter Keane’s charges back to 2 points. David Moran was driving Kerry forward and was the catalyst for the inspired Kerry performance. Stephen Cluxton had to be at his best to deny Paul Murphy when he got fingertips to his goal-bound shot which hit the crossbar. Jack McCaffrey then got another score for the Sky Blues this time a fisted effort, but Gavi Crowley raided forward to score his first championship point. Dean Rock and McCaffrey then registered two more white flags as Dublin led by four. Clifford cut the gap back to three to keep the game in the melting pot coming down the home straight.

Peter Keane speaking after the game:

Tom O’Sullivan perhaps was lucky to escape a second yellow card from David Hough for a foul on John Small. Dean Rock was to kick the free and he split the posts. The gap was out to five when McCaffrey pointed on 55 minutes. Paddy Small then had an effort for a point well kept out by Ryan who worked the ball out into the defence. The ball found Killian Spillane in the corner and he raided through to finish an unstoppable effort past Cluxton. Tommy Walsh then made it a one-point game on 59 minutes, before O’Shea tied up the scores on 62 minutes.

Dean Rock kicked a score on 65 minutes only for O’Shea to level the sides for 10th time. Killian Spillane then out Kerry into the lead with an excellent point which sent the Kerry contingent at GAA Headquarters into loud cheers. Hawk-Eye was required then when Cormac Costello’s shot was deemed wide. Into injury time and Jim Gavin brought on Diarmuid Connolly his kick from around the 45-yard line sailed wide. Rock kicked over a score on 74 minutes. He had a chance to win the game then with the last kick of the game from right out on the sideline at the Cusack Stand but it went wide. Both sides live to fight another day which will be in two week’s time.

Dublin – S Cluxton; D Byrne, J Cooper, M Fitzsimons; J McCaffrey (1-3), J McCarthy, J Small; B Fenton, M D Macauley; N Scully, C O’Callaghan (0-1), B Howard; P Mannion (0-2), D Rock (0-10, 6f, 1’45), C Kilkenny. Subs: P Small for M D Macauley, D Connolly for B Howard, C Costello for P Mannion.

Kerry – S Ryan; J Foley, T Morley, T O’Sullivan; P Murphy, G Crowley (0-1), B O Beaglaoich; D Moran, A Spillane; G White, S O’Shea (0-10, 3f, 3’45), S O’Brien (0-1); D Clifford (0-2), P Geaney, J Barry.

Sport Ireland, which is the new State Agency with responsibility for sport, arising from the merger of the Irish Sports Council and the National Sports Campus Development Authority, came into operation with effect from 1st October 2015. The Sport Ireland Act 2015 was signed into law on 13th May.

Minister Donohoe said: ‘I have today informed the Government that I intend to appoint Mr Kieran Mulvey as Chairperson of the Board, subject to the endorsement of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications. I am delighted that Kieran has agreed to serve as Chairperson of the new Board and I am sure that his experience as Chairperson of the Irish Sports Council over the last five years will be of considerable value to Sport Ireland’.

Minister Michael Ring said: ‘The establishment of Sport Ireland is a positive move for Irish sport, delivering a single well-structured agency focused on the continued development of Irish sport. I am confident that Mr Mulvey has the right skills to take the new agency forward and that he and his Board will work hard to make sure that the transition to a single Sport Ireland is a safe and smooth one. I wish the Board and the Sport Ireland management and staff well in their work for Irish sport’.

In addition to the Chairperson, 10 members who previously served on the Boards of the Council and the Authority have been appointed to the Board of Sport Ireland. They are Bernard Allen, Seán Benton, Donal Óg Cusack, Roy Dooney, Mary Dorgan, Frances Kavanagh, John Maughan, Caroline Murphy, Patrick O’Connor and Liam Sheedy.

Minister Ring said: ‘Some members of the Council and the Authority have been appointed to the new Sport Ireland Board in order to ensure some continuity on the Board.

Also we recognise the significant contribution that members of the Council and the Authority have made to the work of their respective agencies and the need to ensure a continuation of that work for Irish sport. I believe that the experience and skills of those members will be very valuable over the next few months as we move from two agencies to one’.

Sport Ireland Board – Information Note

In addition to the 11 positions listed above, the remaining 2 positions on the Board will be filled following an advertising and selection process by the Public Appointments Service.

Sports Quiz – Top Scorers in 2019 All-Ireland Hurling Championship?

Just seventy minutes left – what a year of hurling it’s been. The old rivals Kilkenny and Tipperary meet in the final, Limerick fail to defend their crown – back to the drawing board for Cork, Waterford and Galway, while Laois and Wexford had their days in the sun.

It’s been an incredibly memorable summer of scintillating scoring, but who raised the most flags this year? Ten stars amassed at least 24 points, with the top scorer gathering an amazing 5-72 in this year’s championship.

Many of these men will be in All-Star contention in a few weeks’ time, having spearheaded their counties challenges by means of splitting the posts with regularity.

Given that many of these stars are household names, we’ve given you three minutes to come up with the answers – with most true hurling fans surely capable of full marks.

Seventy minutes at least remain on the clock, with plenty of flags yet to be raised. It’s been a wonderful championship, and a high-scoring affair would prove a fitting end, as old rivals do battle in one of the most competitive years in recent memory.

Four Irish competing at this year’s World Weightlifting Championships

The 2019 World Weightlifting Championships will begin next Monday, the 16th of September. This year’s competition will take place in Pattaya, Thailand. The competition will run for 9 days, beginning at 8AM on the 16th, and ending at 5PM on the 25th. Four Irish competitors will take part in this year’s competition. Ireland will be represented by Sean Brown, Katey Byrd, Seamus O’Conchubhair and Sean Rigsby in Pattaya.

 

Competitors in the World Weightlifting Championships will have to perform two types of lifts, in the competition, the snatch and the clean and jerk. The maximum weight which competitors were able to use to complete both of these lifts will then be added together. The added weight total for both of these lifts will give lifters their total for the competition.

 

Sean Brown is Ireland’s top ranked lifter, according to Weightlifting Ireland. Brown will be competing in the 81kg category. Brown holds Irish records in both the 81kg and 89kg weight categories. Brown has set the Irish record for both the snatch and the clean and jerk, as well as the total, in the 81kg category. Brown set both the snatch and total records, at this year’s Irish Senior Championships, which took place on February 2nd. Brown’s snatch record stands at 146kg, while his total record stands at 316kg. Meanwhile, Brown set his clean and jerk record in April at the European Senior Championships. At the European Championships in Georgia, Brown set the clean and jerk record at 171kg. Hopefully, the Ireland football team have as much success in Georgia next month bookies have them slight favourites to get a win.

 

Brown holds both the snatch and total records in the 89kg weight category. He set both records just over two months ago at the 2019 Irish Club Championships. His 89kg snatch record is 135kg. While his 89kg total record is 295kg. Brown is the head coach of CrossfitIreland Weightlifting Club, and is unquestionably the most impressive lifter in Ireland at present. If you want to see Brown compete in the 2019 World Weightlifting Championships, he is currently estimated to be competing on Sunday the 22nd, at either 10AM or 2:45PM (local time).

 

Katey Byrd is Ireland’s only female participant in this year’s World Weightlifting Championships. Byrd will be competing in the 71kg weight category. Byrd is currently based in the UK. As well as being an accomplished weightlifter, Byrd is also an accomplished strength and conditioning coach. Her best ever total, according to Weightlifting Ireland, is 171kg. Byrd is currently estimated to be lifting on Sunday the 22nd, at 10:30PM (local time).

 

Seamus O’Conchubhair will be competing in 102kg weight category. He is currently unattached to a specific club. O’Conchubhair holds the Irish record for the clean and jerk at 102kg. He set the record on the 14th of July, at the Leinster Open Championships. His record clean and jerk stands at 172kg. O’Conchubhair’s best ever total is 314kg. As of now, he is estimated to be lifting on Wednesday the 25th, at 8AM (local time).

 

Sean rigsby is the fourth and final Irish competitor taking part in this year’s World Weightlifting Championships. Rigsby will be competing in the 109kg weight category. He is affiliated with Dublin based ‘Capital Strength Weightlifting Club’. However, Rigsby is currently based in the USA.

 

Rigsby holds the Irish record for both the clean and jerk, and the total in the 109kg weight category. He set these records on the 7th of July at the American Open Series 2. Rigsby set the Irish clean and jerk record at 186kg. Meanwhile, he set the total record at 326kg. He also holds the Irish record for the clean and jerk in the over 109kg weight category. He set this record in March of this year at the Las Vegas International. Rigsby’s clean and jerk record at 109+kg is 182kg.

 

Rigsby detailed his pride at representing Ireland in the upcoming World Weightlifting Championships in a blog post. Rigsby stated that it is “the honour of (his) life” to represent his country in the upcoming tournament. Rigsby also goes into detail about his journey in weightlifting, and what the sport means to him, in the eye-opening piece. At the moment, similarly to fellow Irish competitor Seamus O’Conchubhair, Rigsby is estimated to be lifting on Wednesday the 25th, at 8AM (local time).

Republic of Ireland U16 squad for friendlies in England

Republic of Ireland Under-16 Head Coach has announced a 20-man squad ahead of friendlies against Denmark and England next week.

The Boys in Green travel to England on Friday and face the Danes at the English FA’s headquarters of St George’s Park on Tuesday (August 20) before taking on the hosts on Thursday (August 22).

Eighteen players from six SSE Airtricity League clubs make up the squad with St Patrick’s Athletic forward Tom Lonergan receiving a first international call-up.

The Under-16 Head Coach said: “We’ve a lot of good players in the squad and it’s possibly the first squad in the last few years we’ve had to leave players out because of the high standard. Those players who have missed out were very lucky but there seems to be an abundance of quality players at this particular age group.”

Osam also looked towards the two games in England and the challenges that the Irish squad will face. He added: “Denmark are a nation who play attractive football and they have been formidable at both underage and senior level and it will be a good test for us.

“Traditionally England have a massive pool of players to choose from so they have the pick of the crop and they always have very strong underage teams. We’re going in to win the game, be positive, play on the front foot and cause England as many problems as they may cause us.”

Republic of Ireland squad
Goalkeepers: Jack Ross (Bray Wanderers), Aaron Maguire (Tottenham Hotspur)

Defenders: Tommy Fogarty (Birmingham City), John Ryan (Shamrock Rovers), Darragh Reilly (Sligo Rovers), Ben Curtis (Shamrock Rovers), Sean Grehan (Bohemians), James Abankwah (St Patrick’s Athletic), Aaron O’Reilly (St Patrick’s Athletic)

Midfielders: Luke McGlynn (Finn Harps), Glory Nzingo (St Patrick’s Athletic), Jamie Mullins (Bohemians), John Joe Power (Burton Albion)

Forwards: Cian Kelly (Bohemians), Ben Quinn (St Patrick’s Athletic), Edwin Agbaje (Shamrock Rovers), Sean Fitzpatrick (Wexford Youths), Evan Ferguson (Bohemians), Michael Leddy (Shamrock Rovers), Tom Lonergan (St Patrick’s Athletic)
