New Zealand v South Africa Tri Nations First Test Odds: Eden Park Epic Expected

New Zealand has been made favourites to beat champions South Africa in this opening fixture of the 2010 Tri Nations Series at Eden Park in Auckland on Saturday. Ladbrokes go 8/15 odds on the All Blacks while they rate the ‘Boks’ as having no better than a 6/4 chance to win on a ground that they have failed to do for 73 years.

With the exception of scrum half, Fourie Du Preez, the visitors will be bringing possibly their strongest side ever to face the All Blacks in a bid to consolidate their recent superiority over them. They are on a three match winning run against them and come to Eden Park following solid wins against Wales, France and Italy.

New Zealand v South Africa Tri Nations Odds Comparison and Fixture List

The All Blacks have also got every reason to be confident of winning, they are on a run of nine straight international victories in which they have scored an incredible 29 tries and have averaged 33 points per game. They also have stand –off, Dan Carter back in their ranks, who missed two of the three losing tests against South Africa in the 2009 Tri Nations. If any player in the world can tip the balance of power between two teams, then that man is surely Carter, who we think is a good bet at 5/4 with ladbrokes to be top points scorer in the Tri Nations Series.

The Springboks of course are no slouches when it comes to try and points scoring, they have, just about the most exciting winger in the world, Brian Habana, who has prospered hugely on the back of the strengths of the mighty ‘Bok’ lineout and the ability of the team to take full advantage of mistakes made by the opposition. Habana is a 15/8 chance to score a try at some point during the game, while his wing partner, Jean De Villiers is 5/2.

As already mentioned above the New Zealanders have been scoring tries for fun lately with wings, Joe Rokocoko and Cory Jane, leading the way. Assuming that the hosts go initially on to the attack then these two will be a big threat to score the first try and we would not put punters off if they decided to back either one or even both of them to score the first try at 11/1 to do so with Ladbrokes Bookmakers.
