South Africa v Australia Tri-Nations Odds
The South Africa v Australia Tri Nations odds for this South Africa Australia Betting tri nations rugby encounter in Johannesburg this Saturday has the Boks as clear cut favourites despite their shock defeat last week against the Wallabies in Durban. The Aussie victory ended any lingering Tri-Nations hopes that South Africa might have harboured before the match and now leaves them playing for some pride and to possibly continue some experimenting under coach Peter De Villiers.

The Aussies were jubilant after their victory, it was their first in South Africa since 2000 and they were well worthy of their 27-15 win. They will be particularly pleased by scoring three tries against one of the toughest defences in rugby. In essence, South Africa failed to learn the lessons from their defeat against the All Blacks. In that game they sacrificed position so many times, that New Zealand were easily able to turn the ball over; the Wallabies did exactly the same to them.

De Villiers has come under mounting criticism since the defeat which means that they have only win in five matches and this is intolerable form for a country so steeped in winning rugby. Under De Villiers the South Africans have been trying to play a more expansive game, more akin to the style of the All Blacks, but the simple truth is that they do not have the same type of players and the transition will be very difficult for them. If they play like they did last week, then we can expect another Wallaby victory. The odds are: 13/20 South Africa, 5/4 Australia, 20/1 Draw.
