Bookmakers have slashed the Irish to as short as 3/1 for the 2019 World Cup.
Ireland have been heavily backed to win the 2019 Rugby World Cup after their commanding display against the All Blacks on Saturday.
The Irish have attracted 46.6% of all bets since, over four times as many as 6/5 favourites New Zealand.
Bookmakers were quick to slash the odds of the boys in green from 5/1 to as short as 3/1 for next year’s tournament in Japan.
And let’s have it right, this is no knee jerk reaction from bookies.
To beat New Zealand is a mammoth achievement in itself, but to stop them scoring a try takes a truly historic performance, which they gave.
The green wall kept them at arm’s length throughout the whole contest and in all honesty, the Kiwis never truly threatened to win.
New Zealand showed signs they may be human at Twickenham last week, where England could and should have won.
All-Blacks coach Steven Hansen spoke to the press after the game and conceded that Ireland are now the best team in World Rugby.
Oddschecker spokesman, George Elek: 'It's been a tough couple of weeks in the northern hemisphere for the All Blacks, and Ireland were able to go one better than rivals England by dispatching them at The Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
Given Ireland's performance it's no surprise to see punters looking to get them on side ahead of Japan.'
