England World Cup odds cut

England’s Rugby Union World Cup odds have been cut dramatically from 100-30 third favourites to 5-2 joint second favourites by several bookmakers as New Zealand are retained as favourites but lengthen their odds from 11-8 to 6-4.

Australia remain at 5-2 but are now joint second favourites instead of clear second best.

France are 8-1 fourth favourites with South Africa 16-1, Ireland 25-1, Scotland and Wales 125-1.
