Ladbrokes: Springboks to win (-38 Handicap Betting Odds)
“This game on neutral ground at Wembley should be fairly one-way traffic, with world champions and current world No1s South Africa primed for a comfortable victory. Japan have failed to build on their standout 2019 World Cup campaign in the years since and currently find themselves 13th in the world rankings. To get the best value out of this game, predicting a Springboks victory with a -38 handicap looks like the best shout.”

Ladbrokes: Scotland to beat Argentina
Perhaps the closest game of the weekend takes place on Sunday as Scotland and Argentina go head-to-head at Murrayfield. Scotland were ever so close to beating New Zealand last weekend and will be confident despite the 25-17 loss, which saw the Bravehearts miss out on a host of opportunities to record a win over the All Blacks for the first time in their history. This game could be decided on a knife edge, with 11 victories each in 22 past meetings, but we are going to back the hosts to do just enough against the Pumas.

Ladbrokes: France to beat Fiji by 13+ points
France once again experienced heartbreak at the hands of South Africa in another thriller between the two last weekend and will be determined to bounce back against Fiji. Les Bleus remain one of the world’s most feared sides and are the favourites to win the Six Nations next year and should have no problems getting the win against the Fijians, just as England did last week. Fiji rarely roll over for any side but we think at least a 13-point victory is on the cards for the French.

Ladbrokes: Ireland to beat Australia
A defeat to New Zealand coupled with a laboured win over Japan means Ireland are yet to really get going in the Autumn Internationals so far. A more convincing win over Australia at the Aviva Stadium would remind everyone of their World Cup 2027 credentials once more, with the Wallabies hurting after losing in Italy. We have gone with a win for the Irish in the match betting market, though a bigger margin of victory could be the way to go if you’re feeling brave.

Ladbrokes: Wales to beat Japan
After a humbling defeat to Argentina last weekend, Wales will have a much better chance to record only their second win of 2025 when they host Japan. Wales’ only other previous win of the year came against the Cherry Blossoms in June to end an 18-match losing streak and should be confident, but this match holds even higher importance, with the loser likely to fall outside the top 12 rankings and thus end up with a tougher group in the World Cup 2027 draw in December. With a packed out Principality Stadium roaring them on, Wales should do what they need to do to secure that spot.

Ladbrokes: England to beat New Zealand
England face their biggest test of the Autumn series so far as they go head-to-head with New Zealand in the headline game of the weekend. Since losing to Ireland in the first game of last season’s Six Nations in February, England have won all 10 of their games in 2025, seeing off Australia and Fiji in November as they continue to build momentum under Steve Borthwick. The odds actually favour England after New Zealand survived a scare from Scotland last time out and we are going to go along with the bookies with this one.

Ladbrokes: South Africa to beat Italy with -21.5 handicap
Italy kick off the weekend as they welcome world champions South Africa to Turin, with the hosts on a high after a famous 26-19 win over Australia last weekend. The victory undoubtedly signals Italy’s growing rise as a force in world rugby, but South Africa is a different level of opponent, with the Springboks themselves coming off the back of a thrilling win over France. With South Africa heavy favourites for this encounter, a handicap of -21.5 ensures value in your accumulator pick.
