The Greatest Rivalry Tour continues for the All Blacks, who square off against the Springboks in the 2nd test of the tour.
We have our Springboks vs All Blacks prediction for the 2nd test at DHL Stadium in Cape Town, where the Springboks are favourites with rugby odds at Ladbrokes to bounce back from a loss.
We got the chocolates with the All Blacks last week, who couldn’t have been more impressive when beating the Springboks at Ellis Park.
It’s tough to beat South Africa at Ellis Park, and one pivotal moment in the second half turned the match on its head. South Africa had a scrum on the 5m line, but gave away a penalty, which the All Blacks turned into a try within a few minutes.
If the All Blacks’ tight five can muscle up again, we don’t see how the Springboks can beat the visitors. The Springboks keep persisting with their aerial attack, but it’s hard to score tries from midfield kicks.
There is a renewed confidence with the All Blacks, who are now the top-rated team in the world, and they’re looking to fine-tune their game before the World Cup next year.
As a betting proposition this week, the +5.5 line is worth taking. Our Springboks vs All Blacks prediction has the ABs taking a 2-0 series lead.
They scored 49 points in the 1st test, but we’re backing over 54.5 points in Cape Town.
We expect the Springboks to score more than 16 points, and most of their points could come via penalty kicks. The points can rack up quickly off the kicking tee, and that should keep them in the contest.
They do have plenty of try-scoring hopes, and we also expect the All Blacks to produce something close to 30 points again. A 30-26 win will be enough to secure the over, so it’s worth including in rugby tips this week.
Getting the All Blacks at $2.40 to lead at halftime is a good price, and it’s being included in our Springboks vs All Blacks tips.
The All Blacks should come out firing after scoring a big win last week, and they’re only growing in confidence. Their second-string team also scored a 41-35 win over the Lions on Wednesday morning, so there are positive feelings in the camp.
South Africa will look to be more physical this week, but the All Blacks have figured out the world champs, and it should result in a first-half win.
Our Springboks vs All Blacks prediction includes a same game multi, which pays $5.86.
It includes all three of our picks, and we’re also including over 3.5 first-half tries for a bit of value. We expect at least four tries in the opening half, as both teams look to assert their dominance.
The odds are worth including in your rugby SGM picks this week.
