Steven's prediction accuracy 2023: ✔️ 89.29%.

Ireland v Samoa will be the penultimate match of the Summer Internationals 2023, with kick-off at 7.45 p.m. at the Stade Jean-Dauger in Bayonne on the 26th of August. This will be a good warm-up encounter for both teams as they explore playing on French soil in the build-up to the Rugby World Cup.
The man officiating this match will be the experienced Wayne Barnes from England - a referee of over 100 test, surpassing even Nigel Owens' previous record.
Both sides have come head-to-head on seven occasions prior to this match, with the current historical score standing at 6-1 to the Irish. Last time out, Ireland pulverised the Samoans in a landslide 47-5 victory, and I doubt there are many rugby fans that expect much different this time around. Can Samoa mount an unprecedented defence against the number-one team in the world or will this end up as more of a training session for the Men in Green. Read on for my full Ireland v Samoa prediction.

🔍 Ireland v Samoa Match Winner Prediction
Is there are a rugby fan in the world that doesn't have this down as an easy win for Ireland? Am I about to shatter that illusion? Not by any means. Even if Andy Farrell opts to play this one safely, I can still see them wanting to dominate from start to finish in order to send a message to the international rugby community that they are ready and raring for this year's Rugby World Cup. Lowly Samoa can just enjoy the day, seeing as no-one expects them to cause an upset against Ireland. Sure, surprises do happen, but I don't see that happening this time. My money is on Ireland to win by 21 points.
✔️ Ireland v Samoa Betting Tips
1️⃣ Match Winner: Ireland to Win
I don't blame the bookies that are even offering match-winner odds going for the shortest of odds, but - surprise, surprise! - my recommendation would not be to take Ireland to win at 1.02 at BoyleSports.
2️⃣ Handicap Winner: Ireland to Win (-19.5)
I believe Ireland are going to rip through Samoa like a cruise missile through a barn door, but I can't see them racking up more than 21 points difference on the scoreboard. With that thinking, your best option is probably Ireland to win at 1.44 at Betway. That's still on the shorter side compared to other matches from this weekend, such as New Zealand v South Africa, but nonetheless, I still think I would be tempted to have a go on this market.
3️⃣ Both Halves: Ireland to Win Both Halves
We've established that it looks likely that Ireland will romp to another victory, but will they be at full steam by the end of the first half or simply make it a second-half ravaging? Ireland, for me, are too much of a consistent team not to get in the game from the first minute of play, so I think Ireland to win both halves at 1.10 at BoyleSports could be a good option for those that think the match-winner odds are too short.
