BOOKIES are offering just even money that Dean Richards appeals against his fake blood injury ban.

The former Harlequins director of rugby has been kicked out of the game for three years.

But Ladbrokes are not convinced he will serve his full-term and even go 8/1 that he coaches England at the 2015 World Cup.

They are also offering 50/1 that he follows the proven route of the rugby retiree - and takes part in Strictly Come Dancing.

And he is 100/1 to sign up to do a television advert for tomato ketchup before the end of the year.

Ladbrokes spokesman Robin Hutchison: "Rugby is full of blood letting but this is the first time we've taken money on blood betting."
