New Zealand vs Namibia (5am)
New Zealand (-72.5)

New Zealand, fresh from an opening-game loss to France, will look to take out their frustrations on minnow nation Nambia early on Saturday morning.

You really don’t need me to spell out the difference between these two Rugby sides. If you’re reading these tips, you’re well aware of the difference.

Samoa vs Chile (11pm)
Samoa (-33.5)

One of the more one-sided affairs of the weekend could materialise between Samoa and Chile.

This will be Samoa’s first appearance at France 2023, and while actually battling for the World Cup is probably a bridge too far, but there is no denying that they are weight classes above Chile in terms of strength, ability, agility and depth.

Chile suffered a 42-12 defeat to Japan in their World Cup opener, and I am expecting this to be a bigger scoreline.
