A disappointing opening Six Nations match for Wales saw them comprehensively beaten by England 48-7.
It does not get any easier for the Red Dragons as they face tournament favourites France on Sunday at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
Wales are 4/9 to finish bottom of the Six Nations table and punters have piled in on Steve Tandy’s side to struggle in this year’s tournament.
A whopping 80% of bets placed this week backed Wales to prop up the Six Nations table come the end of the tournament.

Oddschecker spokesman Chris Rogers stated, “It appears that bettors have little faith in Wales chances at this year’s Six Nations; 80% of bets placed this week backed Steve Tandy’s men to finish bottom of the table.
The Dragons are huge 4/9 favourites to finish last with their odds shortening from 8/11 following the opening match thrashing at the hands of England.”
