Australia vs. Russia Preview & Tips
Russia faces its toughest test at the 2011 Rugby World Cup to date when it faces the mighty Wallabies this weekend. Australia will be out to score maximum points in this fixture, while Russia will be looking to depart the tournament with their dignity intact.
Australia vs. Russia Trends Analysis
Australia and Russia will clash for the first time in this fixture. Russia is unaccustomed to playing against Tier I nations, and will want to avoid doing worse than its record 75-3 defeat to Japan in 2010.
Australia comes into this match having bounced back from defeat to Ireland with a solid thumping of the United States.
While they have a win under their belts, the Wallabies can’t be feeling 100% confident, and will want to put a big score past Australia to give themselves momentum going into what is likely to be a tough quarterfinal against an in-form South Africa.
After coming close to beating the USA in a thriller, Russia has been on the receiving end of hidings to Italy and Ireland. However, they have produced moments of brilliance, and have developed into crowd favourites in New Zealand.
However, the tackle count made by them will be taking its toll, and it is hard to see the Bears withstanding 80 minutes of the Australian backs running at them.
Australia vs. Russia Betting Tips
We think the Bears are on a hiding next to nothing in this fixture, and that Australia will be looking for a maximum try count in this fixture.
It won’t be pretty for Russia, and our Australia vs. Russia betting tip is to back Australia with a -54 handicap in the handicap betting markets at even odds at Betfred.
