Springboks vs. Wales Preview & Best Bets

The Springboks face Wales in Cardiff on 23 November 2024. It is worth taking a punt on Rassie Erasmus’ men to win by more than 20 points.

Wales (11.00) are on an 11-match losing streak. South Africa (1.03), by contrast, is playing arguably as well as they ever have at the very top of the rugby world.

Wales’ Struggles Continue

Wales have not won a match since last year’s Rugby World Cup. Their 11-match losing streak includes heavy defeats to top teams.

One of those losses came against the Springboks. On 22 June 2024, Wales were beaten 41-13 at Twickenham. This shows how, even in matches hosted in the Northern Hemisphere, South Africa is streets ahead of Wales.

The Springboks at Their Peak

South Africa are in superb form. They won the 2024 Rugby Championship in style.

The Springboks beat New Zealand (3.50) twice en route to winning the title comfortably. These victories proved they remained a dominant force.

Having won the 2019 and 2023 Rugby World Cups, they are as good as ever. As Erasmus has rotated his team, they have maintained their freshness over the course of the year. 

The likes of Pieter-Steph du Toit, Siya Kolisi and Handré Pollard have all made appearances off the Springbok bench over the course of their end-of-year tour. South Africa’ssquad depth is unmatched.

History Favouring South Africa

The Springboks have beaten Wales in their last three meetings. Recent results show a clear gap in quality.

South Africa’s power in the set-pieces and relentless defence is likely to overwhelm Wales. In Cardiff, they will likely dominate from start to finish against a side that lost 52-20 to Australia in their last match.

Why Bet on a Big Win?

Easybet offers competitive odds for a Springboks victory by more than 20 points. The form of both teams strongly supports this bet.

South Africa’s consistency makes them a reliable pick. Wales’ lack of confidence suggests another heavy loss is likely.
