Sky Bet is offering new customers enhanced odds of 50/1 on an England win or 60/1 on Australia to win the Nations Championship fourth-round match at the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, on Sunday. The winnings are paid as free bets.
England are heavy 4/11 favourites on UK betting sites to win the first game of the Northern Hemisphere Series, having lost to South Africa, hammered Fiji, then narrowly beat Argentina in the Southern Hemisphere Series in July. Australia are 14/5 outsiders after losing to Ireland and France before beating Italy during the first part of the Nations Championship. They went on to beat South Africa but were thrashed twice by New Zealand in the Bledisloe Cup series.
How the Sky Bet offer works
New bettors who sign up to Sky Bet using links on the page can choose to receive enhanced odds of either 50/1 on an England win or 60/1 for Australia to come out on top at Twickenham. New players must select which team they'd like to back before going through the registration process. A first deposit of at least £5 is required once the account is open before bettors place a maximum of £1 on their chosen side to win Sunday's game.
If your chosen side wins the game, Sky Bet will settle the qualifying bet with a cash payout, with the extra winnings credited as free bets to equal a payout at either 50/1 or 60/1. All free bet tokens can only be used on BuildABet or multiple bet types. If your chosen team doesn't win, Sky Bet will credit users with a £10 free bet token.
How to claim the offer
To claim the offer, open a new Sky Bet account via one of the links on the page, select which team you want to receive enhanced odds on, make a minimum deposit of £5 via eligible payment methods, and bet a maximum of £1 on either an England win or an Australia win in the match result market before kick-off at 15.10 pm on Sunday, November 8. If your chosen team wins, qualifying bets will be settled in cash with the extra winnings credited as free bets. Free bet tokens are valid for 14 days before expiry and can't be redeemed for cash.
Key terms and conditions
New customers aged 18+ only. You must choose either England or Australia during registration through the Enhanced Price Boost welcome offer, and you must then back that same team to validate the offer. Deposit at least £5 and place a single £1 bet, as your first bet, on your chosen team to win the England vs Australia match on Sunday 8 November, at normal odds. The offer runs from 09:00 on Thursday 5 November to 15:10 on Sunday 8 November 2026, and all staking requirements must be met within that window.
If your selection wins, you get the winnings as cash at market odds with the extra winnings credited as free bets: five £10 tokens for England, six £10 tokens for Australia. If your pick loses, you still get a single £10 free bet token, issued within 72 hours of the bet settling. Free Bets can only be used on BuildABets or multiples, can't be combined with other offers, and expire 14 days after crediting. Free Bets are non-withdrawable and the free bet stake isn't returned with any winnings. Neteller and Skrill deposits don't qualify, the offer can be claimed once per customer, and self-excluded or restricted accounts may be ineligible.
England vs Australia prediction
As phase two of the Nations Championship resumes, Australia have work to do after one win and two losses in the Southern Hemisphere Series. Since then, the Wallabies have beaten Japan twice, won and drawn in Argentina, upset a much-changed South Africa side and lost twice to New Zealand.
Australia have played seven times since England's last outing, a 31-24 win over Argentina which came hot on the heels of a 73-8 mauling of Fiji. A noticeable trend from the first three Nations Championship rounds in the Southern Hemisphere Series is some hefty scorelines. In fact, only Wales failed to register in their encounter against South Africa.
England's matches alone have produced 202 points, with the home side this week accruing 125 points. Fin Smith lies fourth in the top points scorer standings with 30 points but won't be involved on Sunday, while Australian Josh Canham and Englishman Henry Pollock sit second and third respectively in the top try scorer charts. If the trend continues, we are likely to see a high-scoring encounter at Twickenham. England currently sit third in the Northern Hemisphere table on 10 points and they own the highest points difference on +48.
These two sides met last year in November at Twickenham with England running out 25-7 winners. Henry Pollock came off the bench to score the crucial try and he's one to look at in the try scorer markets. England are eight-point favourites on the standard handicap on most rugby betting sites, but the prediction is that they can repeat last year's wide-margin victory against the Wallabies once more. England vs Australia best bet: England to win by 15+ points - 7/4 (Ladbrokes).
