New Zealand vs Argentina
The All Blacks will be all out for revenge when they entertain Argentina at their fortress Eden Park. The home team were stunned last week at they went down 38-30 to the visitors. The All Blacks will be confident of a win despite the loss in the last match. The main reason for their confidence is that they have not lost at Eden Park in the last 30 years. Both teams have made a number of changes which is understandable from the home sides perspective but the visitors have made some strange decisions. One of the stars from the Pumas win, Augustin Creevy has been dropped from the matchday squad.
TIP: New Zealand have made a number of backline changes with Will Jordan and Caleb Clarke replacing Sevu Reece and Mark Telea on the wings. The latter finds himself of the bench along with Anton-Lienert Brown who started last week. His has swopped places with Rieko Ioane who taken the 13 jersey. Argentina have made multiple changes in the pack but have kept the backline unchanged. The bookies have the All Blacks as favorites and I am also backing them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Tictacbets 1.14, Betway 1.14 and Bettabets 1.14

PREDICTION
The man that was a thorn in the home sides flesh, Pablo Matera retains the seven jersey but loses the captaincy to Julian Montoya. The hooker has a tough act to follow after the exploits of Creevy who scored the winning try last week. The All Blacks management have decided to stick with the halfback pairing of Damian McKenzie and TJ Perenara despite their poor performance. They will be most under pressure or they could be facing the axe if they cannot get their potent backline going. The last match saw the first scrum only in the 60th minute which suited the Pumas. Rain is predicted for the match which will see much more scrums, this will suit the home side. I expect a backlash from the All Blacks and predict a 20 points win for them.

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.
