Early Rugby World Cup betting advice for 2023. Betting on France to win the Rugby Cup is risky. New Zealand is a better bet. New Zealander's are more likely to make it to the last 16. Top try scorer is more valuable than try-scorer from a team that makes it past the group stages. Wales' odds are plump. They are not worth betting on. It's better to back teams with experience of winning the World Cups. For example, New York is better than New Jersey. The best bets for the 20th Rugby Championship are to bet on teams that have won it.

France's odds to win the 2023 Rugby World Cup are not the best you can get. The betting value for France to won the World Cups is not there yet.

History tells us that betting on the rugby World cups rewards those that fade northerners. Until we grasp the bigger picture, it might make sense to bet on South African or New Zealand.
