New Zealand — Australia
Three from three with 121 points banked and 15 on the table, the All Blacks look every bit the side nobody wants to meet before they fly north to Scotland, Wales and England in November. The Wallabies sit third with a solitary win from three, yet 114 points scored tells you their attack can hurt anyone if the game loosens up. I could be wrong, but I'd want to see their defence tighten before putting a cent on them on October 10 📊

    Anyone actually run the defensive column before backing the Wallabies? 📊 One win from three, 29 points conceded on average per match by the look of the 85 against, that's a hard sell against a side sitting unbeaten at 15 points with 121 banked. The attack is real, sure, but keeping pace only works if you can get a stop somewhere. I'd want at least two of those three November tour fixtures played before anyone seriously prices an upset here.
    Numbers > vibes.

  • nah, form says 121 points banked 🔥 85 leaked? we'll hammer them all day. Bledisloe lifts them tbh but nah, through thick and thin lads, going to be a rout 💪🙌

  • Backed the ABs minus the line in my weekend multi, no hesitation. Wallabies leak 85 and we've banked 121 - same head says All Blacks by plenty. 💸🔥
    The line moves — catch it.

  • funny thing is, they've conceded 70 themselves and nobody's mentioning it. the young lot never saw that, these games have a habit of forgetting the form book 😄
    Remember when the grass was greener 🌱

  • Metric_nerd has it right, they always lift for us... but 70 conceded? that's the bit everyone's forgetting tbh 😱 still backing the boys to do the business Oct 10, coached juniors here long enough to know a rout takes more than a hot attack 🔥💪 all blacks by plenty tho

  • Interesting how everyone's read the 85 conceded and stopped there. The Wallabies have put 114 points up themselves in three matches, and one win from three with that attack output says the gap is narrower than the table suggests. I keep my own running numbers each round and I could be wrong, but the All Blacks' 121-70 tells me both defences have been generous; two open, high-scoring sides usually produce tighter scorelines than the punter consensus expects. Do I see a genuine case for the Wallabies on October 10? On attack, yes - 114 points in three tests is real output, and if they win the territory battle they'll score. On stopping us, that's where I hesitate, because 15 points from a perfect three rounds speaks to composure the Australians haven't shown. Context matters too: neither side will treat this as a full dress rehearsal with the November tours looming, England away for us, Wales, Scotland for them.
