England's spread betting followers were left ruing what could have been after Shontayne Hape had a try disallowed late on after the All Blacks were reduced to 14 men.
Martin Johnson must now prepare his men for a visit from Australia, who, to the delight of their supremacy spread buyers, beat Wales 25-16 in Cardiff. Spread punters looking to buy the visitor's win index for the contest this weekend will be happy with the Wallabies' form. They recently beat the All Blacks in Hong Kong and have a number of outstanding attacking options in the backline. Any spread enthusiast hoping to sell Australia's supremacy will have been pleased to see the weaknesses at the scrum though, as they gave away seven penalties.
Spread buyers of England's win index will be disappointed to find that England have lost 23 of their 39 matches against Australia winning 15 contests and claiming one draw. However, spread sellers of Australia's supremacy will argue that the hosts hold a better head-to-head record when playing on English soil. These two giant rugby nations have met on 20 occasions in England with the Red Rose claiming 10 victories to the Aussies' 9.
England have lost on the last two occasions the Australians have played at Twickenham. The last time they met England failed to score a try, which will be of interest to those spread punters debating whether to sell total match points. England managed a total of just 23 points in their last two matches at Twickenham against this weekend's opponents.
Punters who enjoy a bet on the total tries market will have been happy to see the Wallabies score three tries against Wales which will offer encouragement to those buying the visitors' total tries spread.
After last weekend's defeat to Australia, Wales now face a depleted South African side that beat Ireland 23-21 to cap an excellent Saturday afternoon for the Springbok's win index buyers.
A concern for anyone wishing to sell South Africa's supremacy spread is that the Welsh have only beaten the Springboks once on home soil a 29-19 triumph in 1999. Since then Wales have lost the previous six contests - with an average losing margin of 9.8 points.
Buyers of the total points market will have taken plenty of encouragement from the last time these two met as there were 65 points and six tries scored.
