All Blacks vs Argentina Tips

Saturday 17/8/24

5:05pm All Blacks vs Argentina @ Eden Park

The new All Blacks coach suffered his first loss in charge last week, and it wasn’t expected.

Most punters didn’t expect the All Blacks to not cover the –15.5 spread, let alone lose the game outright in New Zealand.

It was a disappointing effort from the All Blacks, but form doesn’t usually matter when they play at Eden Park.

They are the most dominant team in world sports at a singular venue, and much better teams than Argentina have failed to beat them in Auckland.

However, momentum is with Argentina, which is the +14.5 underdog despite winning the first test of the Rugby Championship.

Most of the early money has come for the All Blacks to right their wrongs and score a convincing win. We’re in their camp for the second week running, and although –14.5 is tough to cover, they have made the necessary changes to win the game.

The likes of Will Jordan and Caleb Clarke could power through the Argentinian back line, and the experience of Jordy and Beauden Barrett goes a long way.

We’re still not convinced the All Blacks are near the top of their game, but as we’ve seen for the last 30 years, it doesn’t matter when they play at Eden Park.

All Blacks vs Argentina Exotic Tips

There is always good value with first try scorer odds, and we’re backing Will Jordan to cross the line first.

The Crusaders player is the most dynamic runner in the All Blacks back line, and he’s a value $8.50 chance to score the first try.

Jordan is also $1.82 to score at any time, and although it’s meant to be a wet game, it should be open running rugby against Argentina, as the first test was.

Mateo Carreras is a solid chance for the visitors. He’s also a dynamic runner, and punters get $3.00 for Carreras to cross the white stripe at any time throughout the game.

Because of the weather, we’re backing under 49.5. It’s meant to rain, and we don’t expect to see 60+ points like we did last week.

Our final score line is around 30-13, so that gives punters enough room to move with the All Blacks vs Argentina exotic bet.

For those looking to boost a multi bet, take the All Blacks to lead at halftime and fulltime, which pays only $1.37, but it’s relatively risk free.
