Well Paddypower have Oz as 4/9 favourites to win so I think you are among the minority with this opinion.
Eh? That has everything to do with Australia being at home as well as naming a team that actually contains some of their best professional athletes. We could name your idea of a strong team and the odds would be much the same.
Should have explained better - the Ozzie odds were about evens prior to the Irish squad being named, even though the Oz squad was named a bit back.
So basically since the Irish squad was named, the Ozzie odds have halfed, which indicates that a lot of people were quicker off the maker than I was at getting money on the Ozzies.
