Cape Town - The Springboks will lose to the All Blacks in their Rugby Championship Test in Wellington on Saturday - and fail to pick up a losing bonus point - if bookmakers are to be believed.
Kick-off at the Westpac Stadium is at 09:35 SA time.
The All Blacks, coming off a 28-9 victory over Argentina, have been installed as 8.5-handicap point favourites for the match by leading SA bookies BetFlash, meaning they are expected to deny the Boks a losing bonus point.
This, BEFORE the All Blacks have even named their match-day 23!
The All Blacks, beset with injuries in a number of key areas and without all their overseas-based players, are still seen as overwhelming 1/4 favourites against a Boks side (11/4) which sees a single change at flyhalf (Handre Pollard for Morne Steyn) from the one that went down 24-23 to the Wallabies last weekend.
