When are rugby tips published?

The Betway Insider produce rugby betting tips on a competition-by-competition basis.

There will also be match-specific tips posted on the Betway Insider for the biggest games, again, at least one day in advance throughout the tournament.

What types of rugby tips do Betway provide?

Our rugby betting experts at Betway Insider produce several different types of rugby tips throughout the calendar year.

Ahead of a major tournament, our experts will put together a number of outright tips for that competition.

Firstly, they will pick a winner – the team they believe has the best chance of winning that tournament.

If they are tipping a tournament with multiple teams, such as the Rugby World Cup, they may tip certain teams to reach a particular stage of the competition, such as the semis or the final.  

They may also pick a forecast of teams to qualify from their pools in the Rugby World Cup. This means that our tipster will pick which teams they expect to finish first and second in their respective pools.

If they are tipping the Six Nations, they may also pick a team to win the Grand Slam, meaning a side to win all five of their matches in the series.

Along with this, they will also choose a straight forecast. This means the sides they expect to finish first and second in the table, in the order that they expect them to finish.

For a Lions tour, where there are a pre-determined number of games and no knock-out tournament, our tipster will pick the team they expect to win the series.

If you are looking for tips for a specific match, we provide a #BetYourWay builder for every Six Nations and Lions match and the biggest Rugby World Cup matches, as well as those that include England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

Our tipsters will also delve into the player markets to pick out a top try scorer and top points scorer for the tournaments.

On top of that, our experts will also ask our traders to price up various special bets that are not ordinarily available to back ahead of major tournaments or series.

These could include, but are not limited to, tipping any match in a certain tournament to finish as a draw or any Tier 2 nation to qualify for the knockout stages of the Rugby World Cup.
