SYDNEY - Australian bookmaker Centrebet has slashed their odds on Jonah Lomu playing at the 2007 Rugby World Cup after the former All Blacks winger confirmed he will play in Martin Johnson's rugby swansong on June 4.
Lomu, who is back in training after a kidney transplant, will captain an invitation side in England and Lions skipper Johnson's testimonial game at Twickenham, prompting the bookmakers to halve their odds on the juggernaut playing in France from $6 to $3.
The All Blacks ($3.25) are Centrebet's favourites for the World Cup ahead of Australia ($3.85), current champions England ($5) and France ($5).
