Springboks vs All Blacks
The Springboks are on the verge of claiming the Rugby Championship if they can defeat the All Blacks in Cape Town. The hosts can be thankful to their Bomb Squad after they came back from a 10-point deficit in the 68th minute with tries from replacements Kwagga Smith and Grant Williams. The visitors will be kicking themselves as they missed a golden opportunity to claim the victory but ill discipline cost them badly. They were down to 14 men in the last ten minutes due to repeat infringements. The Springboks are looking for their fourth straight win over the All Blacks, for the first time since 1949.
TIP: Both teams have made a number of changes for this match with the All Blacks being forced into two injury enforced changes. Two of their stars of the first match, Caleb Clarke and Ethan Blackadder have picked up injuries and are replaced by Mark Tele’a and Wallace Sititi respectively. Will Jordan has moved from the wing to fullback with Beauden Barrett moving to the bench. The Springboks have brought in Willie Le Roux into fullback and Canan Moodie onto the wing. Last weeks hero Grant Williams start in the nine jersey. The bookies have the Springboks as favorites and I am also backing them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Tictacbets 1.55, SoccerShop 1.55 and Bettabets 1.55
HEAD-TO-HEAD STATS
Springboks vs All Blacks

- The All Blacks have not lost four in a row against the Springboks since 1998.
Latest results for both teams
The Springboks beat NZ 31-27 in their last match.
- PREDICTION
All eyes will be on young Wallace Sititi in the flank position as this is a baptism of fire in his second test. He has big boots to fill and will need to match the physicality of the Springboks loose forwards. The selection of Pollard is an indication that the Springboks may not be playing their new found expansive game or it could just be a double bluff for the visitors. The obvious difference between the sides from the last match was the strength of the home sides bench. The All Blacks have left experienced campaigners like Barrett and TJ Perenara on the bench in the hope that they can guide the team in the crucial last quarter. I am predicting a home win by 9 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.
