- Written by David Bet
After four years of waiting, the Rugby World Cup is back!

The scene is set, the squads have been announced and the first games are about to commence, with all the big names looking to snatch the title away from New Zealand, who are looking to secure their third consecutive Webb Ellis trophy. If you’re looking to play the Outright markets, here’s our complete betting preview to the Rugby World Cup, as well as full scheduling details...
England, Ireland and Wales all have an excellent chance to win, while it’s also impossible to rule out the likes of South Africa and 2015’s runner-up Australia.
A solid outside bet is certainly the Welsh, who certainly have something to prove under coach Warren Garland. They’ve formed one of the most solid backlines in the sport and at 10/1 could be a real money-maker.
England go into the tournament as third favourites at 4/1 with William Hill and certainly have the talent to repeat the feat of 2003.
Below you’ll find a full list of pre-tournament Rugby World Cup 2019 favourites…
