22:10 Ireland v New Zealand (Chicago)

AI Grote: New Zealand 68%
Sports4Cast: New Zealand 51%
Ou Grote (Rob): New Zealand by 7
Ou Grote (James): New Zealand by 3
Oddschecker: New Zealand 40/85

Ladbrokes: New Zealand to win (4/9)
“Perhaps the hardest game of the weekend as No2 and No3 in the world face off in a blockbuster clash in Chicago. Ireland and New Zealand have played out some classics in recent years, with the last 10 games resulting in five wins for each nation. The Irish won 41-19 the last time they played in Chicago in 2016 but we think the neutral ground could play into New Zealand’s hands for this one, with Andy Farrell’s men often so formidable at the Aviva Stadium with the home crowd roaring them on. While it could be by a narrow margin, we are backing an All Blacks win.”

Ladbrokes: Scotland to win (-42 Handicap Betting Odds)
“Another one where it is hard to see anything other than a win for the Tier 1 nation, Scotland should have no issues racking up a big score against USA. The Americans have secured some positive results against the likes of Belgium, Samoa and Portugal this year but it will be a different story against a Scotland side who are pushing to upset the bigger Northern Hemisphere teams. Given the gulf in quality between the two, a Scotland win even with a -42.0 handicap with Ladbrokes appears to be the way to go.”

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.”

Oddschecker: England 6/19

Ladbrokes: England to win (2/7)
“England should be full of confidence as they return to action for the first time since their encouraging tour of Argentina over the summer as they look to get the better of Australia, a side ranked two places below them in seventh in the world rankings. With England’s Lions returning to the fold, we think the hosts should have too much for their visitors in what should be an entertaining clash at Twickenham.”
