ireland-v-tonga-rugby-prediction

Saturday, the 16th of September will see a few Rugby World Cup matches played, including the Pool B test of Ireland v Tonga. The Irish will take on the Sea Eagles at the Stade de la Beaujoire, Nantes, with kick-off at 8 p.m. IST.

The man in the middle will be Wayne Barnes, and he will be assisted by Matthew Carley and Craig Evans. The TMO for the day will be Tom Foley.

This will be Tonga's first match in the Rugby World Cup 2023, but I believe that rugby fans may be expecting it to be a difficult start against a team to which they have lost twice out of two occasions in history. Will this be another game that ends in a cricket score or can we suspect a big game from the Pacific islanders? Let's jump right into my Ireland v Tonga prediction.

🔍 Ireland v Tonga Winner Prediction

You may already be expecting another huge win from Ireland, currently placed number one in the world rankings versus Tonga in 15th, both from historical form against the Sea Eagles and because the Men in Green were 74 points to the good in their opening match against Romania. Am I about to offer a controversial opinion to say otherwise? I am not going to disagree that this is going to be a second tick in the box for Ireland's Rugby World Cup campaign, but I think that Tonga will not let Ireland off the hook that easily. The Pacific islanders' want and need to compete and prove their rugby prowess runs deep, and I think it will mean this will be a harder-fought contest than some fans may expect. The Tongans can play free-flowing rugby, and they have big units that can tough it out with the best in the game, so although I am going for an Irish win, I think it will be only by 25 points.

✔️ Ireland v Tonga Betting Tips

1️⃣ Match Winner: Ireland to Win

Unless you like short odds, I wouldn't recommend the match winner market. Your best option from my favourite bookmakers is Ireland to win at 1.005 at Betway. Maybe it's your cup of tea, but it's not mine.

2️⃣ Handicap Winner: Tonga to Win (+30.5)

I think the Irish have this one in the bag by 25 points. That presents some interesting betting options in my eyes, and I would be sorely tempted to go for Tonga to win (+30.5) at 2.55 at TonyBet Sports. It's a big call, but one with which I am happy. Remember, however, that this is just a humble man's opinion on a rugby match and not financial advice. There are no guarantees in rugby, so please be wise about how you bet and keep things sensible.
