Pool B in the 2019 Rugby World Cup has a bit of a lob sided look to it at present. Italy top the table with 10 points from their two games but both played against the weaker sides. South Africa have only played one match and had to take on defending champions New Zealand, losing 23-13. They now take on Namibia and will have the aim of not just winning but scoring the four tries that will give them a bonus point. That shouldn't be a problem at all with their opponents ranked 19 places below them in the world rankings (4th v 23rd).

South Africa have won their previous two games against Namibia scoring 192 points in those matches with only 13 conceded. Namibia began their world cup campaign with a 47-22 loss to Italy. They have never won a game in the world cup finals and their current points difference is -959, the 1000 mark is almost certain to be reached in this game. Go for South Africa to win on a -44 handicap.
