Tri Nations Rugby Odds - Boks vs All Blacks First Test

July 24 - This weekend the Boks take on the old foe, the All Blacks in Bloem.

The Boks come off a successful series against the All Blacks and must surely be the best prepared for the Tri Nations ever. The All Blacks beat the Wallabies in unconvincing fashion in Auckland last week and a brave man will back them after such a quick turnaround. The travel and altitude factor should be hard to overcome.

Here are the latest betting odds from our partner site, Greatodds.com:

All Blacks with a 6 point start is 5/6.

South Africa outright favorite at 1/2, All Blacks pay 2/1 for a win.

South Africa to win by 1-5 pays 9/2, 6-10 pays 9/2, 16-20 pays 11/1. All Blacks win by 1-5 pays 11/2.

First scores: South Africa Try 4/1; South Africa penalty 13/1; All Blacks penalty 2/1.

First tryscorer: Habana 8/1,  JP Pietersen 9/1, Joe Rokococko is 12/1 and Sivivatu is 14/1.

South Africa need to start the Tri Nations well if they are any chance for the title and with the first two games at home they have a golden opportunity.

Our verdict: Boks by less than 7.
