So backing New Zealand with a 16 point start on the handicap may be worth the punt at 10/11, although if you fancy another Kangaroo rout then back them -16 at the same price with BetFred.There will be plenty of top quality players on show this Friday night with a number of them all capable of grabbing the opening try of the tournament. Darius Boyd (9/1 Stan James), Akuila Uate (10/1) and Darren Lockyer (20/1) all look good with ball in hand for the Aussies, while Kalifa Faifai Loa (12/1 Paddy Power), Jason Nightingale (12/1) and Thomas Leuluai all look dangerous for the Kiwis.When the Aussies and Kiwis collide there are always plenty of points, whether it is a landslide win or a close but high scoring encounter, so why not take advantage of BetFred’s offer of 11/8 that there will be more than 51 points scored.
