The Greatest Rivalry Tour continues this week with the Springboks vs All Blacks at DHL Stadium in Cape Town on Sunday at 3:10 AM.
It was a big win from our Kiwi boys last week, and we’re picking them to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
The latest rugby odds have the Springboks at $1.50 to win, so Kiwi punters get value odds for the ABs.
We’ll take the +5.5 line for the All Blacks every day of the week following a dominant 33-16 win last week.
Sure, the Springboks will likely play better this week in Cape Town, but we also see massive improvement coming from the All Blacks, who coped with the atmosphere well at Ellis Park, and they’ll only be better.
We gave the All Blacks the edge at scrum time, and they’re a much better attacking team. We’re happy to see that they did away with aimless box kicks in their own half, and kicking for territory put pressure on the Springboks at lineout time.
Getting a +5.5 start is a healthy line for punters. Our Springboks vs All Black prediction has the ABs winning outright, but in case it’s a close contest, we’re taking the +5.5 line, which is one of our top rugby tips this week.
If South Africa’s attack doesn’t improve, we could see another low-scoring contest.
We weren’t impressed by their tactics last week, and although they did well to win the ball in the air, it never threatened the All Blacks’ line, so we struggle to see how they’ll rack up points this week.
They’ll need to use their rolling maul to score tries, but if that doesn’t work, they might need to settle for kicking penalties. Therefore, we’re backing under 54.5 points, in what could be a 27-23 scoreline in favour of the All Blacks.
Our Springboks vs All Blacks tips are confident with the All Blacks scoring over 11.5 first-half points.
They should come out swinging, and although last week’s game was low-scoring at the half, the All Blacks still managed 12 points, so the line is an interesting one.
We see the All Blacks scoring a converted try and a couple of penalties. That results in 13 points, which is enough to cash this option, so take the value line with Springboks vs All Blacks odds.
Our Springboks vs All Blacks prediction includes a same game multi, which pays $6.45 at Betcha.
We have the All Blacks covering the +5.5 spread and scoring over 11.5 points, which we’re confident with. They should play well, and it’s best to back the boys in black.
Springboks under 14.5 first-half points adds some value to SGM picks.
