Live on Skysports 2: Sat 08.30: South Africa are in for another tough Tri Nations game; New Zealand can win by 18 or more (10/11, Paddy Power).
Last weekend saw the opening match of the 2011 Tri Nations in which South Africa went down 39-20 to Australia.
This weekend, South Africa are off to New Zealand as Sportingbet’s 10/1 outsiders and you can’t help but feel that it will be back to back defeats for the Springboks.
With just one defeat in nearly 2 years (to Australia in Hong Kong) and no defeats in NZ since September 09, where South Africa won by 3 poins, New Zealand are deserved favs but at just 1/14 with Unibet, are incredibly short odds. Paddy Power handicap the All Blacks 17.5 points with a 10/11 price tag, something they can achieve but perhaps only just. They warmed up well by putting 60 past Fiji last week but it’ll be a lot tougher this weekend, though victory by 18 points or more is achievable.
Compare all Tri Nations odds and bet at the best price.
