Australia v Ireland International Rules betting – Ireland favourites to throw first punch Visit Paddy Power Save For Later Posted by Bettingpro Staff 26 Oct 2011 Tweet Related Articles See all GAA news Share it Pin It Australia face Ireland in the International Rules 1st Test on Friday, with the Irish favourites to claim victory in this matchDespite missing a number of players due to club commitments Ireland have been installed as 8/11 favourites with Paddy Power to win the first international rules test this Friday in Melbourne.Throughout the history of the series the touring side have been traditionally stronger and with the Aussies without a number of their marquee names are 11/10 to record a home win with the draw available at 20/1.With last years impressive goalkeeper Dustin Fletcher sitting out the series, the men from down under go into the series without a recognised goalkeeper and with the odds of them keeping a clean sheet in the first test an unlikely 9/2 this could be a problem area for the AFL’s selectionThe series has in the past been marred by violent scenes and despite last years games passing off largely without incident, Paddy Power are offering odds on which team will land the first punch. Unsurprisingly the prickly Australians are odds on to land the first punch at 8/11 with the Irish available at Evs.Paddy Power told Bettingpro: “The international rules is always a tough one to call but I’m hoping that our footballers can follow the example of our rugby players and give the Aussies a good pasting!”Match Betting8/11 Ireland11/10 Australia20/1 DrawInternational Rules Specials8/11 Australia to throw the first punchEvens Ireland to throw the first punch20/1 Any player to be knocked out100/1 First test to be abandoned due to fighting9/2 Australian Clean Sheets6/4 Ireland to score 3 or more goals in the first testPunch Bets must be to the head, bets void if no punches landed (all must be televised) Read our Paddy Power review Get your £250 free bet at Paddypower Like Like Post to wall 307 Reads All GAA News Recent GAA Articles Muster Championship Betting Preview25 May 2012The battle for Liam McCarthy kicks up a notch this weekend when Tipperary take on Limerick in the o All-Ireland Club SFC Semi-Finals St. Brigid’s v Garrycastle18 Feb 2012Previews of this weekend’s All-Ireland Club SFC Semi-Finals between local rivals St. Brigid’s and G Which Inter County Board will be next to be fined for fighting?15 Feb 2012Paddy Power are taking bets on which Inter County Board will be next to be fined due to on-field fi Mayo v Dublin GAA betting - Paddy Power money back special09 Feb 2012Paddy Power are refunding all losing bets on Saturday's GAA clash between Mayo and Dublin if the ma Gaelic Football Betting – Change to Square Ball rule?01 Dec 2011Paddy Power are taking bets on whether the GAA will change the controversial “Square Ball” rule in Australia v Ireland International Rules betting – Ireland favourites to throw first punch26 Oct 2011Australia face Ireland in the International Rules 1st Test on Friday, with the Irish favourites to More Stories Recent Articles Coop Beach Tour - Live streaming matches on bet36526 May 2012The second leg of the Coop Beach Tour starts in Lucerne today.
