Lions look a good bet at 13/5 to triumph in South Africa

Its another good win for the British Lions in their tour of South Africa as Swansea Osprey Mike Phillips inspired them to a convincing 39-3 victory of the Sharks.

It was the fourth consecutive victory for the tourists, and McGeechan & co now look like they have the basis of team which can cause the Springboks a considerable headache. The centre partnership of Brian O’ Driscoll & Jamie Roberts looks formidable at the moment, while Mike Phillips at scrum half looks to have made that position his own, with another ballsy, no nonsense display. The back row also looked incredibly committed at the break down which was an improvement from more recent encounters and its going to be an interesting week or two, before the first test kicks off on 20th June.

The British Lions currently stand at 12/5 with reputable online bookmaker  Bet365 and we have a feeling this could turn out to be a shrewd bet.

The Lions team is more or less picking itself at the moment, and by 20th June an unbeaten Lions side should have no fears facing the Springboks for the first time.
