Following last week’s Heineken Cup action, Sky Bet have revised all their rugby union betting markets and make three-times winners Toulouse the 4/1 favourites to lift the trophy.
Munster, who lifted the title two seasons ago, are 9/2 with defending champions Leinster at 6/1. Despite an Irish club lifting the trophy in 3 of the last 4 competitions, it’s 15/8 that an Irish team takes the title with a French club strong favourites at 8/11. It’s 10/1 a Welsh side lifts the trophy for the first time in history (7/1 an English club & 100/1 a Scottish club).
Sky Bet’s Simon McMinn said: “A French side are 8/11 to lift this seasons Heineken Cup trophy despite Stade Francais losing to Ulster last weekend. Clermont dramatically smashed Leicester last week to go favourites of their Pool, which means the four French teams of Toulouse, Stade Francais, Clermont and Biarritz should all have home ties in the quarter finals.”
