We have our Wallabies vs Springboks prediction for the 1st test on Sunday, September 27, at 7:30pm in Perth.
Rugby odds have the Springboks favoured to win following a 3-1 series win over the All Blacks, and it could be a tough game for the Wallabies.
Our Wallabies vs Springboks tips look at the best bets for the big game, and the latest rugby odds are available.
Most of the betting support has come for the Wallabies to test the Springboks, but all things being equal, South Africa should destroy the hosts.
The Springboks looked excellent when beating the All Blacks 3-1 over the last month, and they were dominant in the forwards. That’s where the Wallabies are going to struggle, and it could be tough for them to get any go-forward ball.
Covering a -8.5 spread on the road isn’t easy, especially in Perth, but with the Wallabies coming off a very average series against Argentina, we can’t see them being competitive. They are too short in the market, so our rugby tips this week have the Springboks covering the -8.5 spread.
Our Wallabies vs Springboks prediction includes under 58.5 points. Both teams have points in them, but the Wallabies should struggle to find their rhythm against a Springboks team that doesn’t give an inch.
We see the Springboks’ defence being too good for the Wallabies, and although their games in South Africa against the All Blacks resulted in plenty of points, the Wallabies aren’t armed with as many attacking threats.
We have South Africa winning 30-18, so under 58.5 points is an option worth including in rugby predictions.
We predict the Springboks to come out firing, as they did against the All Blacks. They put pressure on the opposition by kicking in the air, and they are the best team in the world at catching high bombs.
They should smother Australia in the opening 40 minutes in Perth, and the Wallabies won’t know what hit them. It’ll show how far they need to go to have any chance in the 2027 World Cup, and it could be a stark reminder.
Look for the Springboks to make an early statement in Perth with a couple of tries and a few penalties in the first half. The -4.5 line is generous, so include it in Wallabies vs Springboks tips.
The odds for our Wallabies vs Springboks SGM pay $4.88 for the first test in Perth, and it has a good chance of coming in for punters.
It hinges on the Springboks covering the half-time and full-time spread, and the Wallabies struggling to put points on the board. We like our chances, and the odds are in the value range.
