by Stephen Abiola in Women's Rugby World Cup Picks
Australia will begin their 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup campaign with a crunch game against Samoa in Pool A on Saturday morning. Australia will come into this competition as the No. 6-ranked team in the world, and are in the same pool with the USA and England. Many are tipping the Wallaroos to join the Red Roses (England) out of the group. This means the pressure is on Australia to start their campaign with a win against Samoa.
Samoa, on the other hand, is the underdog in this pool that features rugby heavyweights. They are appearing for the first time in this competition since 2014 and are the lowest-ranked side in the pool. They’ll need to pull out more than just a single upset to progress out of the group, with the odds heavily against them. The Samoans have never reached the knockout rounds of this competition, a fate that may await them once again.

Our Australia vs Samoa Prediction
The Aussies are the betting favorites at -10000. Bookies are sure they can blow out the Samoans on the opening day, giving them a 92% win probability. They’ll be keen to bounce back from their unimpressive run at the Women’s Pacific Four Series, where they lost to New Zealand and Canada while defeating the USA. The Australians will also know that the Samoans haven’t played a competitive match since October last year. Samoa played three games late last year, drawing 8-8 with the Netherlands before defeating Fiji and Madagascar. Still, we don’t see them defeating Australia.
Our prediction for Australia vs Samoa: Australia to cover -35.5 handicap
