The Springboks will be gunning for a third tour victory when they face Italy in Turin this Saturday while England host New Zealand in a massive clash in London.
The Boks beat France 32-17 last weekend to bank a second win on their five-match tour to Europe.
A much-changed side will battle Italy in Turin this Saturday, as coach Rassie Erasmus manages his squad ahead of the heavyweight clash against Ireland on 22 November.
The showdown between England and the All Blacks has the potential to be the game of the weekend, while Wales and Japan will be desperate for a result in Cardiff, given the permutations around the 2027 World Cup draw next month.
Ireland and Australia will be out to prove a point in the wake of recent defeats when they meet in Dublin.
France will target a big win against Fiji, and Argentina may fancy their chances against a mercurial Scotland in Edinburgh.
The Boks claimed a convincing 2-0 series victory against Italy in South Africa this past July. The Azzurri welcomed back a number of first-choice players this November, and managed to edge Australia 26-19 in Udine last week. Meanwhile, the Boks made a statement of their own when they thumped France 32-17 in Paris. The margin may be closer on this occasion, given the changes made by Erasmus, and the handicap bet of +18 (1.95) is a good one to take.
England beat Fiji 38-18 recently to extend their winning record to nine games. The All Blacks were less than convincing in their 25-17 victory over Scotland, and may feel like they have a point to prove against the old enemy this Saturday. The All Blacks have been installed as 2.05 underdogs, which is worth a bet, when you remember that England haven’t beaten New Zealand since 2019.
Both teams are jousting for a position in World Rugby’s Top 12 ahead of the 2027 World Cup draw, and will have identified this match as a must-win. Japan have shown signs of improvement in recent games against South Africa and Ireland, even though the scorelines may suggest otherwise. Wales began their Autumn Nations Series campaign with a 52-28 defeat to Argentina last week. The last time Wales and the Brave Blossoms met – in a two Test series in Japan this July – the spoils were shared. On this occasion, the Dragons will have home advantage, while Japan – playing in their fourth-consecutive match – may feel the effects of fatigue. Expect Wales to claim a rare yet important win, but Japan may finish within the 12-point handicap (1.95).
Ireland will be hurting after their 26-13 loss to the All Blacks in Chicago two weeks ago, while the Wallabies are coming off a defeat to Italy. Both teams have bigger games to come – Ireland will host the Boks, while Australia will head to France – but need to bounce back as soon as possible. Ireland edged Australia 22-19 last November, and may secure another tight victory this Saturday. The Wallabies start with a +10 handicap (2.00) and as 3.80 underdogs to win.
France were humbled by the Boks in Paris last week, losing by 15 points. The French community will demand a response this weekend, and while Fiji showed some good touches against England, they may battle to live with the hosts in the second half.
Scotland were widely written off after leaking 17 unanswered points in the first half against the All Blacks. The hosts hit back in the second stanza, and in the end, a spectacular Damian McKenzie try earned the New Zealanders a late victory. This Saturday’s clash is an important one for both teams, and the Pumas may fancy their chances of making a statement at Murrayfield. The visitors start as 2.40 underdogs and with a +3 handicap (1.95), and both bets may be worth taking.
