After the good day today i hope to keep things moving in the right direction tonight with Argentina V Namibia in the rugby world cup.
Argentina find themselves in a wonderful position at this moment and qualification is really in their own hands. A win tonight with a bonus point will leave them in a very strong position against Ireland in the last game and Argentina will be big favourites to progress. After their unbelievable result against the French on day 1 they were brought back to earth with a hard fought win last weekend against Georgia.
Namibia were trounced last week but were in bad situation as the french really needed a big win as they were under severe pressure from the media and fans after an opening day defeat. The french played the ball wide and controlled the rucks against the Namibians but i dont think we will see the same dominance today.
Argentina are a tough side to play against, but always seem to reserve their best form for the big teams. They are very similar in that respect to Ireland who never hammer the teams they should and dont work up big scores or winning margins against the weaker nations.
I think the Argentinians are slightly over rated coming into this match and the market has slightly over reacted to the France/Namibia result last weekend. I just cant see them scoring 7 or 8 converted tries to no score from Namibia.
Im going with Namibia to cover the spread here with medium stakes.
PICK
Namibia + 53 (1.91 @ skybet) 3 points
