Scotland Wales Free Rugby Bets with Stan James
Wales travel to Scotland for their second game of the Six Nations and will want to quickly get over the defeat by the English.
Scotland go into the match as favourites because they have a very good record on their own soil against the Welsh. The best price doing the rounds is 4/6 with Betfred and Boylesports which is just the wrong side of evens.
Wales need a response and every player will be determined to put things right. The Welsh can win in Scotland but it will not be an easy game. Sporting bet offers 6/4 on an away win in this game.
The best way to make money from this Scottish side based on the result in the match is backing them to win both halves of the game. This is 11/8 with Boylesports and Bodog which is better value than the price for an outright win.
Wales to win both halves of the game is possible but it would take some very slack Scottish defending. Skybet offers 11/5 for this option.
Anyone a little twitchy with the Wales side can choose to back them with a slight handicap, which means they would start the game ahead of the Scots. Bet365 offers evens that Wales will win if they start the game with a penalty advantage of three points.
Shane Williams and Morgan Stoddart are the clear favourites to score the first try of the game. Williams is 9/1 with Coral while Stoddart is slightly longer at 10s with the same bookmaker.
Jamie Roberts could be a good bet at 12/1 with Betfair. Roberts positions himself well on the field and this means he could be in prime position to score the first try early in the game when defences traditionally take a little longer to get going
"This should be a cracker - Scotland lost in Paris but played well and Wales need to come out of their shell. The Scots to just shade it though at 10/11."
