Hands up, we got it wrong last week. We thought it would be tight and went for a narrow South Africa win but it was the Lions who came up trumps in the end. I’m not letting that stop me from going for South Africa again this weekend, though.

South Africa to Win

To win once away to South Africa is a huge achievement but to back it up two weeks in a row, I think it’ll be too much for The Lions. South Africa have more room for improvement and I’m going to go with the Springboks to Win this weekend.

South Africa To Win By 1-10 Points

I think we could be looking at a one-score game again this weekend and South Africa 1-10 point margin is a good bet and provides a bit of value. You’re getting a nicer price than just backing South Africa to win the match.

Jack Conan Anytime Tryscorer

Jack Conan made a big impression for The Lions last week. I think he broke the record for the number of carries in a Lions match with 12 and it’s clear that he’s a big part of their game plan. The Lions are going to be looking to him when he has the ball and I think Conan to Score Anytime is a good bet at a big price.
