South Africa Samoa Odds

South Africa play their first game in Rugby World Cup (RWC) 2007 pool ‘A’ against Samoa on the 9th Sep at the Parc De Princes, Paris. The sides have met twice before in the RWC, first in 1995 when South Africa won in the quarter finals on their way to the Cup 42-14 and then in Australia 2003 in the pool stages when South Africa won 60-10.
South Africa Samoa Preview

South Africa have been building slowly and some would say erratically towards France 2007.  We think they will come good and go through from pool ‘A’ as the top side having dispatched Samoa by more than 20 points on the way. Players to look out for in their squad are the two flying wings JP Pietersen and Bryan Habana, plus the powerful running back row Kabamba Floors.

South Africa 8/1
Samoa 500/1

Updates to this preview will follow closer to the 2007 Rugby World Cup and as odds on the match itself become available we will let you know.

   don’t right/off Samoa so easely , 500 to 1 , i’m going to lay some hard earned on that game. Indead South Africa have started slow and unless they get thier act together soon , they’ll be gone. Samoa on the other hand will pick up all thier players from NZ , with the right coaching they will run the Sth Africans back to the bush.

   South Africans will ask the QUESTION >>>How come the Samoans bones are very hard?
   The two South africans wings will be cheering from the sidelines on the bench before the first half is over. WHY ?
   Because they commit suicide just by going straight to the man Brian Lima and the tribe. Samoa will survive by 5 points . Kool.
