We take a look at 3 of the major rugby internationals taking place on Saturday and suggest a bet in each.
NEW ZEALAND v FIJI
Fiji comfortably beat last weeks 46 point handicap but despite being in contention they still lost by 34 points. I think they will battle to replicate the same intensity this week and I expect a stronger defensive effort from the hosts. I am backing the All Blacks to win this one by 41 points or more.

New Zealand 1/100
Draw 100/1
Fiji 40/1
Handicap: New Zealand (-40.5) at 9/10, Fiji (+40.5) at 9/10
Suggested Bet: New Zealand -40.5 at 9/10
AUSTRALIA v FRANCE
France must be kicking themselves for not closing out the 1st test but they were able to do so in the 2nd test and have set up a thrilling series decider. Both teams have made changes and while they have been disappointing so far I am backing the Wallabies to get it right this week.

France 18/10
Handicap: Australia (-4.5) at 9/10, France (+4.5) at 9/10
Suggested Bet: Australia -4.5 at 9/10
WALES v ARGENTINA
This game finished as a draw last week but I felt that Argentina were the better side. They missed a number of kicks (although Wales missed a late penalty) and played the majority of the match with 14 men.
This should be another tight encounter but I think the visitors have the depth to win it.
