Bookies may not always be correct, but they generally don’t like to be proved wrong by punters. So, the fact that England have been chalked up as the third favourites to win the Six Nations tournament indicates that the English team will perhaps solely be playing for pride when they start their campaign against Scotland, providing a marked contrast to previous years, where this game has been regarded as a must-win for England in order to ensure that they can eventually fight it out seriously for the title. Anyone looking at the Betfair 6 Nations betting needs to bear this in mind.
Regardless of that, however, it is now quite simply vital that England restore some sense of pride and belief in what has become a pretty beleaguered side when the tournament gets underway, despite the fact that the team will be facing a Scotland side who will be eager to do what they can to get the Murrayfield crowd on their side for the remaining games played at their famous stadium.
Likewise, if England do manage to win the game despite the question marks hanging over the squad, they'll know that they will be guaranteed a strong and vocal backing when they next play at Twickenham, in the process allowing England to earn back some of the pride and honour so rapidly and dramatically lost while at the controversial and ill-fated New Zealand World Cup. Punters may want to read more on rugby betting previews before they decide how the side will get on.
If England can at least enjoy a tournament they are clearly not properly equipped to win, rather than finding themselves constantly berated by the media and their unrealistic expectations, it'll be the first step on a long, long road to recovery for Stuart Lancaster and the boys.
