Wales v South Africa

Last week was going to be my final rugby post for the year but this game has grabbed my attention.

I've pretty much ignored the Wales/Wallabies game when assessing this one because all recent games between that pair have been close. However it's hard to ignore Wales' effort last week when they were only run over in the last 10 minutes but what mental effect has that had on the them and also on the Boks. I think it will be very difficult for Wales to repeat the performance from that game. The Boks couldn't help but be impressed by the Welsh effort and will not give them an inch.

Plenty of changes to both sides but if the Boks come out fully committed, which I am almost certain they will, they will be too good for a tired Welsh side.

Wales will be brave again but the big Boks pigs will dominate and pave the way for a comfortable win.

South Africa -6.5 @ $1.90 for me.

I will not be betting on the Wallabies game, but of course hoping for a win.

Good punting all
