November 7 at 7.45 pm – Suncorp Stadium, Queensland Last weekend, the All Blacks secured the Bledisloe Cup for the 18th consecutive time courtesy of a dominant 43-5 win. It was a disappointing evening for the Australians, who had reason to feel some semblance of confidence after returning for their home leg of the four-game series with one loss and one draw. After a massive build-up, the game was over almost as soon as it started, and the Kiwis stamped their authority on the game from the outset with four tries in the first half an hour. As a result, this weekend’s game – which would have been the decider had last week’s game gone the other way – is a dead rubber, at least as far as the Bledisloe Cup is concerned. It is, however, still just the second game of the Rugby Championship, and if Australia is to stop the All Blacks running away with the tournament they will need to find a way to turn things around on Saturday night. It certainly doesn’t shape up as an easy task and the Kiwis are fairly short in the betting odds for a reason, but in front of a home crowd in Queensland, can the Wallabies find a way to keep themselves in the tournament?
Few expect the Aussies to be able to challenge after what happened last week. New Zealand -15.5 at $1.93 Hopefully Australia keeps it interesting but they are out-classed against the Kiwis, and another big loss could be on the cards. New Zealand -7 first half at $1.83 The All Blacks were up 26-0 at half time last week, and while a repeat of that is unlikely they have a decent cushion to still cover this number. New Zealand to trail in match – No at $2.10 Assuming the Kiwis win this game pretty easily, this bet could be decided by who scores the first try, so at $2.10 this is a value bet.
Head to Head Record • Played 169 • Australia has won 44 • New Zealand has won 117 • 8 draws Last time they played Bledisloe Cup 2020 Game 3: Australia 5-43 New Zealand
After last week’s abysmal showing, it’s hard to find a way to envision Australia getting close against a far more talented outfit in this game. The Bledisloe Cup is gone once again so their attention will now turn to the Rugby Championship, and a loss in this game will virtually spell the end of their hopes of taking that out. The All Blacks could be forgiven for taking their foot off the pedal a little in this game after their performance last week, but they are a team of consummate professionals and the talent they boast across the park should be enough to see them win this one pretty comfortably. Expect more pain for the Wallabies as the All Blacks pile on for another big win. Bet on New Zealand
