    I'd reckon around the $15 mark is probably fair.
    The boys could do worse than take inspiration from the Marcos Baghdatis story!
    For those who haven't been following the Australian Tennis Open, Baghdatis was champion in the juniors only two years ago and the twenty year old native of Cyprus is in the Australian Open Final!!!
    Dreams can come true, especially if you train hard and have a hot girlfriend!

    hahaha, as a wannabe m'self it seems, whatever the bookmakers say is what they think is a fair margin to reel in punters and cash. If the volume of punters engage the odds, they will narrow, as stated, prices subject to change. If they find good form and belt the Crusaders and then roll the Brumbies they will shorten sharply. Might be worth an early 50 or so, only about 8 to 10 beers worth these days, less in some bars around the world. Not surprised to see who is at short odds.

    I would have taken the force at $51, they're still good value at $41 mind.

    The Bulls I think would be the best value out of those picks. I might put some money on the Tahs, I'm flattered that they are ranked so highly.
