Lions 66/1 To Go Unbeaten

Sky Bet are offering 66/1 for the British and Irish Lions to go unbeaten in their 10 -match South African tour, which gets underway on Saturday,
when Ian McGeechan's side play the Royal XV in Rustenburg. The Lions are 15/8 with Sky Bet to win the series, while the Springboks have been
backed down to 6/4 (from 15/8) to whitewash the tourists.

Sky Bet's Simon McMinn said: "We've seen no patriotic support for the Lions as of yet. A 3-0 whitewash by South Africa has been the most
popular scoreline."

The British and Irish Lions squad comprises a 14-strong Irish contingent, 13 Welsh players, eight Englishmen and two Scots and Sky Bet
are offering odds on which nation will field most players in the first Test. It's 8/13 for Welshmen to dominate the team and 6/5 for Ireland to
be best represented in the first Test against South Africa on June 20th.

Sky Bet are offering odds on when the tourists will first taste defeat, with their first Test against South Africa 13/8 favourite. It's 7/2 for
them to lose first against Sharks on June 10th. 7/4 is quoted for the Lions to win all seven of their non-Test matches.

Ronan O'Gara is Sky Bet's 4/6 favourite to be the Lions' top points scorer, with Stephen Jones priced at 11/8 and any other player at 9/1.

Sky Bet's Simon McMinn said: "Jones is the first choice for fly-half for Test matches, which means that O'Gara should score more points against
weaker opposition and our odds reflect this."
