The mischievous bookie has installed the Australian Rules football players at odds of 8/13 to throw the first punch caught by TV cameras during play on Saturday with the home team considered less likely 6/5 shots. Paddy Power are also taking bets on the number of punches thrown in the opening test with four or more available at seemingly generous odds of 2/1. Odds of 25/1 are on offer for a repeat of 2007 when a player got knocked unconscious during play and 100/1 for the first test to be abandoned due to fighting.Paddy Power himself said “Lets be honest we all expect, and dare I say look forward to, a good old fashioned punch-up during these test matches. It’s part of the spectacle of the game and now you have the opportunity to profit from the punches. It doesn’t get much better than this!”Ireland have been installed by Paddy Power as the 8/15 favourites to win Saturday’s first test and 8/11 to win the 2010 series.Team to throw first punch8/13 Australia6/5 IrelandNumber of punches thrown4/5 0 punches3/1 1-3 punches2/1 4 or more punchesMatch Specials25/1 Any player to be knocked out25/1 A dog to come onto the pitch during play2/1 Any player to be sent off100/1 First Test to be abandoned due to fightingFirst Test Betting8/15 Ireland11/8 AustraliaSeries Betting8/11 IrelandEvs Australia Read our Paddy Power review Get your £250 free bet at Paddypower Like Like Post to wall 512 Reads All Rugby League News Recent Rugby League Articles New Zealand v Australia live stream19 Apr 2012New Zealand will have to break a 14-year drought if they are to emerge on top of Australia in Frida Sam Warburton 13/8 favourite to captain the Lions28 Nov 2011William Hill have made Sam Warburton their favourite to be named captain of the British & Irish Rugby League World Cup 2013 odds – Australia made favourites28 Nov 2011William Hill make current Four Nations Champions, Australia, the red-hot 2/7 favourites to win the Australia thrash New Zealand in Rugby League international16 Oct 2011Australia cruised to an eight-try victory over New Zealand in the Rugby League International Test a Australia v New Zealand Rugby League Preview and Tips13 Oct 2011Australia and New Zealand will warm up for the Four Nations Series with an international friendly o Patrick Ah Van to leave Bradford Bulls at end of season01 Aug 2011Patrick Ah Van will leave Super League side Bradford Bulls at the end of the season.
