Wilkinson 13/8 to score 17+ points against Australia
Jonny Wilkinson has been recalled to the England squad for the first time in 18 months and is set to face Australia at Twickenham on Saturday. Sky Bet go 13/8 that Wilkinson marks his comeback by scoring 17 points or more against the Wallabies.
Wilkinson gets his first Test recall in 18 months against Australia.
Wilkinson is one of three World Cup winners in the side to face Australia and Sky Bet offer 2/1 that any of Wilkinson, Steve Thompson and Lewis Moody score a try (4/11 none of the three score a try). Sky Bet also offer 25/1 that the Toulon fly-half nets a full house of a try, conversion, penalty and drop goal against the Wallabies.
Five France-based players feature in England's 22-man team, with Wilkinson, Thompson and Erinle joined by Stade Francais flanker James Haskell and Brive fly-half Andy Goode. It's 5/1 with Sky Bet for any of these France-based players to open the tryscoring.
Sky Bet's rugby union betting spokesman, Mike Triffitt, said: "Wilkinson is playing some of the best rugby of his career in the French league with Toulon. He is probably England's best chance of victory and they need him to have his kicking boots on as Martin Johnson has named a fairly experimental and inexperienced team."
Jordan Crane and Shane Geraghty will make their first Test starts and Sky Bet go 5/2 that either of them scores a try (2/7 neither to score a try).
England at 10/11 are given a three-point start against Australia for Saturday's match and Martin Johnson's men are 9/1 to win all three of their autumn internationals.

Curbishley 4/7 to return to top flight management this season
Alan Curbishley has won his case for constructive dismissal against West Ham and Sky Bet think a swift return to top flight management could be on the cards, quoting just 4/7 for him to return to Premier League management before the end of the season.
The 51-year-old, who guided West Ham to a 10th place finish in his first full campaign, has been out of management since leaving Upton Park in September 08. It's 5/4 that the former Charlton boss does not manage a top flight club this season.
Sky Bet go 1/5 that Curbishley's next managerial post will be in the Premier League, while 4/1 is on offer for him to take a job at a Championship side and it's 10/1 that he takes a managerial role at any other level.
Curbishley did not consider offers while his action against West Ham was proceeding but his availability may now increase pressure on managers such as Hull City's Phil Brown. Sky Bet make Curbishley 4/1 second favourite behind Paul Jewell (6/4) in their next Hull manager betting.
Sky Bet's football betting spokeswoman, Helen Jacob, said: "Curbishley has a wealth of experience in the game and his glowing CV earns him a place amongst the frontrunners for every managerial vacancy that arises in the top two divisions.
"Now that his grievance with West Ham has been resolved, and with several managers under pressure, it surely won't be long before he is back at the helm of a top flight club."

Sky Bet's cricket betting spokesman Tim Reynolds said: "After restricting Australia to a par total on a decent batting wicket in the 4th one day, the Indian team will be disappointed that they didn't manage to capitalise and take a 3-1 lead in the series. The hosts will be desperate to win tomorrow and should be able to overcome an injury stricken Australian side that only have 13 fully fit men to choose from."
India are the 5/6 favourites to hit the most sixes in the 5th ODI, having already hit a total of 15 sixes in the series compared to Australia's 12 (6/4 Australia & 5/1 Tie) and it's 5/6 that the hosts have the highest opening partnership (5/6 Australia & 25/1 Tie).
