Argentina vs New Zealand Preview
Four matches in and as expected, New Zealand are the dominant side in what used to be known as the Tri-Nations. Ever since Argentina entered the fray, the tournament has had to change its name to the Rugby Championship but the Pumas have been finding life tough in arguably rugby’s most challenging international league contest. Argentina have slipped back a little in the pecking order and despite the lengthy trip for the Kiwis to Buenos Aires, anything other than a victorious flight back home would be a surprise.

Argentina vs New Zealand Prediction
With four wins from four already in the bag for the All Blacks, head coach Steve Hansen has taken the decision to rest a number of his front-line stars for this Rugby Championship clash. Brodie Retallick, Sam Whitelock, Ryan Crotty, Sam Cane, and Liam Squire will all be absent from the side when it takes to the field. However, strength has never been a problem for New Zealand meaning victory is still the main aim of the game. Argentina’s run of form has been dismal making them ripe pickings in our Rugby Union betting tips for a young inexperienced All Blacks team to get a healthy runout and a win.
Argentina vs New Zealand Betting Tips
No wins, no points (not even a bonus point) is pretty dismal for fans of the Pumas. The contrast between the sides could not be brighter. Four wins and three bonus points show the overwhelming difference in quality. Despite a slightly weakened side, the All Blacks will still steamroll an Argentina side bereft of confidence and enough talent to challenge their opponents even with home advantage. William Hill’s offer for the Kiwis to win outright is better than most on the market, and although it may look long, it is still as safe a bet as almost possible. For the Pumas, it will be back to the drawing board ahead of the winter with work to do if they are to formulate a plan to be able to compete with Rugby’s big boys once again. For now, it is just a case of damage limitation for Argentina.
The best way to extract value out of a Kiwi win is to jump on the handicap market. This is an area where 10Bet really show their mettle. The bookmaker has arguably the best range of handicap markets and rugby is no different. Argentina have lost to the Kiwis on home soil by an average of 20 points in the last four Rugby Championship test matches, meaning the All Blacks to win with a -16 handicap falls nicely into that bracket and is the best Rugby Union betting odds you are likely to receive. It could prove to be a long night for the Pumas as they once again look like finishing the test series with the wooden spoon. No doubt there will be celebrations for the Kiwis once the match is wrapped up, but they know that sterner tests are ahead of them, especially with the World Cup just two years away.
