France vs Australia
France welcomes Australia to the Stade de France for this Autumn International. The home team come into this match on the back of a brilliant run that has seen them win their last ten matches. They are justifiably the favourites for next year’s World Cup that they will be hosting. Their win in this year’s Six Nations underlined their ambition to win their first ever World Cup. They most recent matches was played against Japan in a two test series which they comfortably won, winning both matches even though they took a weakened squad to Japan.
TIP: Australia come into this match with loads of confidence after their narrow 16-15 over Scotland in their last match. It was far from a convincing performance and needed a missed penalty in the final minute from Blair Kinghorn to claim the win. The victory ended a run of three straight losses in the Rugby Championship. The return of former skipper Michael Hooper definitely had a positive impact on the team and they will again look to him for inspiration. The bookies have France as the favourites and I am also backing them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Worldsportsbetting 1.16, Playabets 1.14 and Sunbet 1.16

PREDICTION
Australia will be hoping the victory over Scotland will be the turning point in their season as face the number two ranked France. The home team will want to continue their excellent unbeaten streak and their task got easier when some key players in Cyril Baille and Thomas Ramos were passed fit to play. The French team will look to their massive forward pack to gain dominance before unleashing their potent backline. The overall power and creativity of the French team will be too much for the Wallabies to handle. We are backing the home team to win by more than 15 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.
