South Africa take on the Wallabies in Pretoria this Saturday still looking for their first win in this year’s Tri Nations and knowing that defeat in the match will unleash an almighty negative media frenzy aimed at ridding the side of its coach, Peter de Villiers. The Bookmakers however believe that his job is safe for the time being anyway, Bet365 Bookmakers for instance have them as 1/3 odds on favourites in the betting, to win the match, with the Wallabies given only a 12/5 chance and the draw being a 22/1 option.
South Africa v Australia Betting Comparison, League Table, Results and Fixtures
With New Zealand having already won the Tri Nations, the two nations will be fighting it out for second place in two test matches this week and next. A win in either by the Wallabies will see them secure the runners up spot as they have already beaten the ‘Boks’ in Australia in their first match of the tournament in Australia.
South Africa v Australia LIVE on Sky Sports 4 at 1600 on 28 August.
South African lock, Victor Matfield will be the second South African in this series to complete a 100 caps for his country, following skipper’s John Smits century last week against the All Blacks. Matfield however will not want to be on the losing side, especially in the heart breaking manner that South Africa lost last week, when the All Blacks scored twice in 2 minutes at the very end of the game to steal the match, after being second best for most of it. The ‘Boks’ were clearly very unlucky but know that a similar display in this should be enough to win.

As far as the match is concerned, playing at Sea level in front of a partisan crowd will give South Africa a huge advantage, they have a fantastic record against the Aussies on home soil and with the pitch also playing to their strengths they should win this match with a small degree of comfort. They will be looking to Bryan Habana to break the record of tries scored by a South African, by scoring his 39th and moving off the mark he currently holds with Joost van der Westhuizen. Habana is a 5/4 shot with bet365 to score a try during the game and a 9/1 to score the opener.
Australia who won the opening encounter between the two in Brisbane six weeks ago by 30-13 will be confident of at least holding their own. They have brought back the outstanding Quade Cooper after suspension to play at stand-off, with Matt Giteau, moving back to inside centre. These two great players are capable of opening up an otherwise brutally stubborn ‘Boks’ defence and will need to do so if the Wallabies are to have any chance. Giteau is at 9/4 and Cooper at 7/2 with Bet365.com to score a try during the game.
Selection 1: South Africa to win by between 6-10 points @ 9/2 (£20 bet Wins £90)
Selection 2: Bryan Habana to score first try @ 9/1 (£20 Bet wins £180)
