The unrivalled passion and intensity of Test rugby return when the Autumn Nations Series gets underway on Saturday, writes Quintin van Jaarsveld.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series launched in 2021 as a rebranding of the traditional end-of-year internationals and this year\u2019s edition consists of 21 Test matches, including the Springboks\u2019 forthcoming fixtures against Scotland, England and Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southern Hemisphere sides will once again seek to take down their Northern Hemisphere counterparts while underdogs aim to stun their vaunted hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series kicks off with a blockbuster at Twickenham, where England battle the All Blacks before the spotlight shifts to Murrayfield, where Scotland face Fiji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

England v New Zealand<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, 2 November – 17:10<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After pushing the All Blacks close twice in New Zealand in July, England will hope home-ground advantage swings things in their favour in the third match between the old rivals this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The All Blacks eked out a 16-15 win in Dunedin and a 24-17 victory in Auckland four months ago and know things will only get tougher at the home of English rugby this Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a rocky first season for the Kiwis under Scott Robertson. They\u2019ve won seven out of 10 and had just a 50% success rate in the Rugby Championship, suffering a shock loss to Argentina and back-to-back defeats to the Boks to surrender the Southern Hemisphere crown to South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They finished the Rugby Championship on a positive note, though, claiming successive wins over the Wallabies (31-28 in Sydney and 33-13 in Wellington), and shook off the rust by crushing Japan 64-19 in Yokohama last weekend to stretch their winning streak to three.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

England have a 50% win record this year. Steve Borthwick\u2019s men finished third in the Six Nations with a 3-2 record and kicked off their mid-year run with a resounding 52-17 win over Japan before the narrow losses in the Land of the Long White Cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their best result this year was the 23-22 triumph over Ireland at home, which showed what tough and tricky customers they can be, and they won\u2019t fear this vulnerable All Blacks side, setting up what should be a humdinger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

England\u2019s kicking game caused New Zealand a lot of problems and they did a masterful job disrupting their lineout, so they\u2019ll seek to replicate those successes while matching them physically and putting pressure on the halfbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The All Blacks will have to play smarter and not fade in the final quarter as they\u2019ve done against the likes of the Pumas and the Boks. One has become conditioned to side with the All Blacks because of their dominance of the global game for so long but with little separating the two teams who\u2019ll run out at Twickenham, the betting value is with England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prediction: <\/strong>England by 2.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suggested Bet:<\/strong> England at 2.35.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scotland v Fiji<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, 2 November – 19:40<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scotland are an exciting, dangerous and developing team looking to make the next step into the upper echelons of the global game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 30-21 win over England and narrow losses to France (20-16) and Ireland (17-13) in the Six Nations showed the Scots aren\u2019t far off from leveling up and they certainly don\u2019t lack in ambition and x-factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As their only hit-out before next Sunday\u2019s showdown against the world champion Boks, they won\u2019t simply look to entertain their home crowd but iron out potential wrinkles in their structures and set pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Scotland, who have a new captain in Sione Tuipulotu, it\u2019ll be important not to get caught up in a free-flowing spectacle but rather put building blocks in place for the remainder of the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That will be trickier than most would expect as they\u2019ll be without a number of high-profile players, including Blair Kinghorn (Toulouse), Ben White (Toulon) and Finn Russell (Bath), due to the match falling outside of the Test window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fiji are riding high on the momentum of their triumphant Pacific Nations Cup campaign. The islanders went through the tournament unbeaten and thumped Japan 41-17 in the final, showing good balance between their renowned creative attacking game and newfound edge in their pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their new coach, Australian Mick Byrne, has done an excellent job of rounding out their game in a short amount of time and will have them believing they can claim just their third-ever win over the Scots. Ultimately, though, Scotland are too strong and too slick and should get the job done fairly comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Scotland by 16.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suggested Bet:<\/strong> Fiji +18.5 at 1.77<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
