SEP 26: RUGBY AND OTHER SPORTS TIPS

ENGLAND are all the rage with William Hill customers who reckon they will see off injury-hit Wales at the Rugby World Cup and they are 3-10 to do so.

Sam Burgess may well be a controversial choice to start but punters are supporting Stuart Lancaster’s decision and he is the best backed player to score the first try (16-1) while the 4-1 that he scores a try at any point in the match is being backed as if it was a certainty.

William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams says: “The money is all for England to win and should they do so with a Sam Burgess try, it will certainly cost the industry a tidy sum.”

In the days other games South Africa are evens at Skybet on the 19 point handicap as they look to bounce back from the humiliating defeat to Japan with a commanding win over Samoa while Italy take on Canada in Pool D.

At the F1 Japanese Grand Prix Lewis Hamilton is 1-2 favourite at Ladbrokes to claim pole position and there's semi-final tennis action from St Petersburg and Metz among the highlights on a packed Saturday of sport.
