South African betting site, Bet.co.za have got four New Zealanders as the favourites to be the top tournament try scorer.

Cory Jane and Zac Guildford are currently tipped at 5/1 favourites, with team-mates Mils Muliaina at 8/1 and Israel Dagg at 10/1.

England’s burly winger Chris Ashton, who is tipped to be one of the stars of Rugby World Cup 2011, joins Dagg at 10/1 whilst South Africa’s Bryan Habana, who is chasing Joost van der Westhuizen’s try-scoring record for the Springboks, also joins the duo on 10/1.

Amongst the forwards, New Zealand’s Kieran Reid will be extremely chuffed with his current odds of 25/1 to be the leading try scorer, ahead of some illustrious backline players, including Jean de Villiers and Quade Cooper.

South African forwards Schalk Burger and Pierre Spies are currently in at 100/1. Worth a R50 flutter?
