Australia vs Springboks
The Springboks put in one of their worst ever performances in the last match as they were beaten 25-18 by Australia. They had numerous opportunities to score but failed to convert their chances while the home team were clinical in finishing their chances. Australia are currently on nine points and in second position on the table. The visitors are in last position with 4 points and urgently need a win.
TIP: The home team have selected the same team for this match while the visitors have made several changes due to injuries and loss of for. The biggest blow for the Springboks is the loss of Lukhanyo Am as the centre has been the player of the competition so far. The Springboks need to start better if they are to win this match. The bookies have Australia as favorites and I’m also tipping them for the win. These are the best odds for this bet: Worldsportsbetting 1.80, Playabets 1.83 and Sunbet 1.85

PREDICTION
The home team will again try to avoid too many set pieces as the Springboks love to use their driving maul. The visitors dominated the scrum in the last match but it was their lack of creativity that proved their down fall. The Aussies will again look to their star winger Marika Koroibete to provide impetus on attack while covering in defence. The Springboks have moved Damian Willemse to flyhalf as they seek for better fluency in their backline attack. The Aussies look the more settled side therefore we are backing them to win by 10 points.

Sports crazy fan that follows all major sport but the game with the oval ball is my real passion. Was an age level rugby coach and a huge supporter of the Springboks and diehard Liverpool man. I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
