SUGGESTED BETS
South Africa -4 at 1.95
This should be a great match and I am expecting an impressive South African team to reverse the loss suffered in the Rugby Championship.
England -13.5 at 1.90
Both sides were unfortunate to be in such a tough group and England won 36-33 when they met in the final game. Looking at the teams I am expecting a more comfortable win for the English.
