However, resulting from their 100% record in the tournament so far, including a victory over South Africa, they’re now 11/4 favourites to win their first-ever Rugby World Cup.
An upcoming Scottish side entered the tournament priced at 33/1 to win the 2023 Rugby World Cup. But having been placed in a pool with Ireland and South Africa they were priced at 5/2 to get out of the Pool.
Following Scotland's defeat to South Africa their pool stage escape looks unlikely and they’ve drifted to 100/1 in the betting. However, with two victories in their remaining two games against Romania and Ireland, they’ll be in a Rugby World Cup Quarter-Final.
