The Greatest Rivalry Tour continues this week with the Springboks vs All Blacks at DHL Stadium in Cape Town on Sunday at 1:10 AM.
We have our Springboks vs All Blacks prediction for the 2nd test, where pressure is on the Springboks to bounce back from a hefty defeat, but that could be easier said than done.
Punters got value odds for the All Blacks last week when scoring a 33-16 win, and although a closer game is expected in the 2nd test, we still have the All Blacks winning.
Coach Dave Rennie said there wasn’t much between them, and he’s right. However, the All Blacks did the little things well, and the Springboks will need to be more clinical to keep the ABs at bay.
It all starts in the forwards, and if the All Blacks can soak up the early scrum pressure from the Springboks, they should win the game. So much hinges on getting scrum penalties for South Africa, so if they’re not dominant up front, they’ll have no go-forward ball.
We believe in this All Blacks outfit, which has progressed steadily throughout the year, and $2.50 is a good price to include in rugby tips this week.
South Africa didn’t live up to expectations last week, scoring just 16 points. That was enough for the under to cash, but we’re confident in the over hitting this Sunday morning.
The All Blacks are likely to score around 30-33 points again, and if the Springboks play better, they should score around 25-30 points.
They are usually high-scoring affairs in Cape Town, and the fans should be thrilled with a quality game. We expect plenty of tries, so over 54.5 points is included in our rugby predictions this week.
Most of the money has come for the All Blacks to score over 11.5 first-half points, and we’re not surprised.
The line is much lower than expected, and although the Springboks were ahead 13-12 at halftime last week, there should be more points scored in the opening 40 minutes at Cape Town in ideal conditions.
We have the All Blacks scoring 15-17 points in the first half, so we’re loving this line. Our Springboks vs All Blacks tips are confident with this play, so include it in all bets.
Our Springboks vs All Blacks prediction includes a same game multi, which pays $5.41.
It includes all three of our picks, and we’re also including over 3.5 first-half tries, in what should be a high-scoring first 40 minutes.
These teams will come out with everything they’ve got, knowing the series is in the balance, and it should result in plenty of points.
